A tantalizing lot featuring the signatures of three of basketball’s greatest of all-time including “Dr. J”, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. The first item is an official game ball from the current iteration of the American Basketball Association that has been signed by Julius “Dr. J” Erving. Made by Wilson and retaining the classic red, white and blue colourway used on the basketballs of the old ABA where “Dr. J” became a star before it’s merger with the NBA in 1976, the ball remains in excellent condition with just light handling wear. Erving has signed above the Wilson logo panel with a blue ink signature that displays well despite some fading over time. A JSA sticker numbered “AC82090” is affixed just underneath while a hologram from Mitchell Marketing is also affixed. The next item is a David Stern era official NBA basketball by Spalding that has been signed by Larry Bird and Magic Johnson. The dynamic rivalry of the 80s both Bird and Johnson have signed black ink signatures above the Spalding logo panel with both displaying without issues. A JSA sticker numbered “AC82085” has been affixed underneath the signatures while an Upper Deck Authentics hologram is also affixed. Both are accompanied by matching certificates of authenticity.
