The rivalry and history between Magic Johnson and Larry Bird reignited the waning interest in professional basketball and elevated their respective clubs to "All-Time" status. Their battles were legendary and talents otherworldly. And it all began here when their fates were intertwined forever on the face of this 1980-81 Topps #6 card, the crown jewel of the entire set that season. It boggles the imagination to wonder how many high-grade Bird-Johnson-Erving rookie cards may be inside this unopened 1980-81 Topps wax box. Thirty-six (36) unopened packs, all in NRMT condition, carry many other desirables such as #66 Cheeks-Jonson, #94 Bird-Cartwright-Drew (TL), #98 May-Bird-Sikma (TL), #111 Magic-Boone-Long (AS), #146 Erving (TL), and #165 Bird-Brown-Brewer (TL). The display has minor wear at the corners and edges but has maintained nice color with strong text and graphics, EX+. The quality of stars and unique card design have made this one of the most sought after items in the hobby. Don't miss out!
