Condition Details

Grading Recommendation
Not recommended for grading unless you believe it is a flawless PSA 10. The high population of this card from the 'junk wax' era makes lower grades worth less than the cost of the grading fee.
Card Description
Larry Johnson is depicted in a suit wearing a Charlotte Hornets draft cap and headset shortly after being selected #1 overall in the 1991 NBA Draft. The card features a white border with a vertical 'HORNETS' team name bar on the right side and a '91 Draft' logo at the bottom right.
Notable Features
Includes the '91 Draft logo; this is part of the inaugural Upper Deck basketball set; captures the moment of his selection as the first overall pick.
Authentication Notes
The card features the characteristic Upper Deck anti-counterfeit hologram on the reverse (not visible here). The printing quality and card stock appear consistent with authentic 1991 Upper Deck production.
