Description
1980 Topps Larry Bird, Julius Erving, Magic Johnson - Scoring Leader, Rookie PSA Mint 9. This iconic 1980 Topps card features Larry Bird, Julius Erving, and Magic Johnson, three of the greatest players in NBA history, and is widely regarded as one of the most important basketball cards ever produced. The card is particularly significant for marking the rookie debuts of both Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, two players who would go on to define the NBA's golden era with their intense rivalry and combined eight championships. Julius Erving, already a legend, adds further prestige as a representative of the game's transition from the ABA to the modern NBA.The unique triple-panel design of the 1980 Topps set showcases each player's scoring prowess and contributes to the card's legendary status. The card's historical importance, coupled with its scarcity in high grades due to the perforated edges and centering challenges, makes it a centerpiece of vintage basketball card collections. Graded PSA Mint 9, this card is a near-perfect example of one of the most celebrated and coveted basketball cards in the hobby. With more than 15,000 PSA submissions, only twenty-four examples have graded higher.
