Lot #153:

1992 Larry Bird USA Basketball Olympic "Dream Team" Game-Used & Dual-Autographed Sneakers (JSA • Xmas Gift From Brid W. Vintage Holiday Card Documentation • Gold Medal Team)

Larry Bird was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1998 and was a key part to the 1992 USA Olympic “Dream Team”. Converse manufactured “CONS” white sneakers with blue and red trim. The player number “7” is embroidered on the outside ankles in blue on red. Bird signed the toe of both sneakers in black marker with the added inscription “To Don Best Wishes” and in our opinion the signatures rate a combined 8.5. These sneakers are properly tagged, were presented to us as game-used and in our opinion show very light use and are extremely well preserved. The insoles have been removed. Accompanied by a LOA from JSA and a vintage holiday card from the Bird family reading “To Don & Mary Hope They Fit! Merry Christmas” signed as “Larry & Dinah” in black marker.
