1981/82 TOPPS BSK MAGIC JOHNSON LAKERS SOLO ROOKIE #21 SGC 9 (CENTERED-A GEM!!!)

Description: THIS IS A VERY HIGH END 1981/82 TOPPS MAGIC JOHNSON # 21 SOLO ROOKIE CARD. IT IS A VERY TOUGH CARD TO FIND IN SUPER HIGH GRADES DUE TO THE NUMEROUS FLAWS WITH THE PRINTING. THIS CARD COULD VERY EASILY BE A 10 GEM MINT WHICH HAS BEEN SELLING IN THE 10,000.00+ RANGE FOR PREMIUM CARDS.SGC GRADES ALL IT CARDS VERY CONSERVATIVELY AND GETTING A 9 OR HIGHER IS DEFINATLY A CHALLENGE. WITH ALL THE AI RAGE GOING ON, I THINK THAT IS WHERE THE HOBBY IS HEADED FOR GRADING BECAUSE THERE IS NOT ENOUGH CONSISTENCY WITH HUMAN GRADERS TO GRADE EVERYTHING. THE HOBBY SAW A MASSIVE SPIKE IN GRADING DEMAND DURING COVID AND ALL GRADING COMPANIES WERE FORCED TO HIRE MANY NEW GRADERS TO KEEP UP WITH THEIR NEW DEMAND AND MANY SIMPLY DON'T HAVE THE NEEDED EXPERIENCE. LOOK AT THE CARD YOURSELF, IF IT LOOKS LIKE THE GRADE OR BETTER, CHANCES ARE YOU ARE GOING TO GET A GREAT DEAL. MICHAEL JORDAN WAS ASKED IF HE HAD TO PICK FOUR OTHER PLAYERS FOR A 5 ON 5 PICK UP GAME, WHO WOULD BE THE PLAYERS HE WOULD PICK FOR HIS TEAM. HE SAID, LARRY BIRD, MAGIC JOHNSON, OSCAR ROBERTSON, AND WILT CHAMBERLAIN. SO MOST CONSIDER AIR JORDAN AS THE GOAT AND TO HAVE HIM PICK YOU AS ON OF THE 4 OTHER PLAYERS FOR HIS TEAMMATES IS THE ULTIMATE COMPLIMENT. MAGIC JOHNSON WAS AND IS ONE OF THE GREATEST EVER AND HIS CARDS ARE STILL VERY AFFORDABLE. I'M STILL IN SHOCK A RICKEY HENDERSON ROOKIE GRADED A GEM MINT 10 FOR FOR OVER 135K, THAT MAKES CARDS LIKE THIS VERY ATTRACTIVE. THIS CARD HAS BEEN CONSIDERED HIS TRUE ROOKIE CARD BECAUSE IT'S THE FIRST CARD OF HIS WITH JUST MAGIC JOHNSON ON IT. THE 1980/81 TOPPS CARD WITH BIRD AND DR. J IS ALSO CONSIDERED HIS ROOKIE CARD BUT THAT CARD IS MORE OF SOMETHING TOPPS MADE TO SELL WELL SINCE IT HAD 3 OF THE BEST PLAYERS OF ALL TIME ON THE SAME CARD. I LIKE THIS CARD AS HIS TRUE ROOKIE AND THE HOBBY SEEMS TO BE MOVING THAT WAY WITH HOW MANY PEOPLE FEEL ABOUT THAT. THIS CARD HAS FOUR GORGEOUS CORNERS, IT IS PERFECTLY CENTERED WITH FRESH FROM THE PACK NEW TYPE OF GLOSS ON THE CARD AND A FRESH NEW LOOK TO IT. LIKE WE SAID BEFORE, IT COULD EASILY GRADE A 9+ OR A 10 WITH A RESUBMISSION AS I LIKE TO GRADE CARD ON A SCALE OF 1 TO 100 AND THIS ONE IS A MID TO HIGH END 90S OR SIMPLY PUT A HIGH END NINE-9 !!! IN OUR OPINION WHICH MAKES IT A GREAT ONE TO PUT AWAY. FREE USPS TO THE WINNER. THANKS FOR YOUR BUSINESS !!!
