Magic Johnson LAKERS

[mickeymbz]

FINALLY..I've found one, after years of scouring the earth... This one belonged to the late Dick Engelberg:

I think after his passing his tremendous collection of vintage game jerseys were sold to GFC and sold.
1988/89 home Magic jersey

-Great thanks to the dude who made it happen,, you know who you are

Nice shirt!

How long ago did Mr. Engelberg pass?
I've corresponded with him in the past. Sad to hear that he's gone.

Last time I talked to him he said GFC had brokered the sale of his collection to an individual and that GFC had acquired his website.

He had some nice gear and took the time to create a site and share pics. Would always answer questions too.

I will call myself out on this one...such a jackass...

My bad! Thanks for either not reading the post yet or just shaking your head at me and not feeling the urge to point out my error.

Peace!

Also, a "89" Sand Knit tag is for the 1989-90 season.

really? i thought it was the other way around... i have a kareem tagged 87... the piping style matches to pics during 86-87 season (1st yr sand knit with lakers).... the lakers, i believe, moved to the more thicker piping the following year.,

This warm-up is from the 89-90 season. The Orlando Magic weren't a team in the 88-89 season.

Re: Magic Johnson LAKERS

Gauging the authenticity of a shirt based solely on crispness and sharpness of tagging is not accurate IMO. .. that may be one of the value of the sum but definetly NOT the sum. pictured is magic tagging next to a beat to hell 87/88 common... IMO the tagging has just about the same amount of sharp corners and crispness.
