1979 Boston Celtics Larry Bird NBA Debut Full Ticket, PSA Authentic.UPDATE: This is one of three full tickets in the PSA population.
The excitement around Larry Bird beginning his NBA career in 1979 was electric, as he arrived with massive hype after leading Indiana State to the NCAA championship game. Drafted by the Boston Celtics, Bird was seen as a savior for the storied franchise, which had struggled in the late 1970s. His arrival sparked immediate optimism, ticket sales surged, and the Celtics quickly became contenders again. Bird's rivalry with Magic Johnson, rekindled from college, added to the buzz and helped revitalize the NBA. Fans were drawn to Bird's fierce competitiveness, court vision, and blue-collar style, making his rookie season one of the most anticipated in league history.
Offered is a full ticket to an Oct. 12, 1979, matchup between the Boston Celtics and Houston Rockets. Bird, in his NBA debut, scored fourteen points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Graded PSA Authentic.
