The card collector's view

Magic's flagship rookie is the 1980-81 Topps #6 (the iconic 'three-in-one' card shared with Larry Bird and Julius Erving) — PSA 10 examples are among the most valuable basketball cards of the era and were notable in showing the era's interlocking design. The Magic-Bird RC together is one of the most iconic cards ever printed. Various Topps inserts round out the must-haves.

About Magic Johnson Cards & Plaques at FreshDCards

Magic Johnson was a 6-foot-9 point guard at a time when those didn't exist — the player who, alongside Larry Bird, saved the NBA in the 1980s and made basketball must-watch television. Five championships with the Showtime Lakers, three MVPs, three Finals MVPs (including as a rookie in 1980), and an unforgettable 12-time All-Star career. He retired in 1991 due to his HIV diagnosis, came back briefly for the 1996 season, and was inducted into the Hall of Fame in 2002. The smile, the no-look passes, the title rings.
