1990-91 SkyBox Larry Bird Basketball Card #14

This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch trading card featuring NBA legend Larry Bird of the Boston Celtics, produced by SkyBox in the 1990-91 season. The card's aesthetic is iconic of the early 90s, utilizing a 'computer-generated' background with a vibrant purple polygon and a neon green, stylized three-dimensional shooting star. Bird is depicted in his traditional green Celtics home jersey, holding a basketball overhead in a shooting motion. The SkyBox logo is oriented vertically in the top-left corner, while the player's name and the Celtics team logo appear at the bottom. The card is printed on glossy cardstock typical of high-end sets from that era. Regarding condition, the card shows slightly softened corners, particularly at the top left and bottom right. The centering appears slightly shifted toward the bottom. No major creases or surface scratches are immediately visible in this view, though some minor edge wear is present. This specific card represents the debut year for the SkyBox brand, which changed the industry with its modern, non-traditional graphics compared to competitors like Fleer and Topps.
