Encapsulated and graded NM-MT+ 8.5 by BGS, with signature graded "9" by Beckett. Hall of Famer. Larry Bird has scripted a flowing, blue ink signature on the obverse of this ultra-premium collectible; the cardfront also showcases a game worn jersey swatch relic, an item that is creatively displayed in die-cut windows cut to the shape of Bird's uniform number. The card's BGS condition report: Centering: 9.5, Corners: 9, Edges: 8, Surface: 9. A congratulatory statement on the card's back attests to the authenticity of the signature and serves as Upper Deck's COA. The limited-edition piece is serial-numbered "26/33." Near Mint to Mint-plus condition.
