Larry Bird Heroes Appraisal

1992-93 Upper Deck Basketball Larry Bird Heroes #3

This is a standard 2.5 by 3.5 inch basketball trading card produced by Upper Deck for their 1992-93 basketball series, specifically part of the 'Heroes' insert set featuring Larry Bird. The card front features a high-action color photograph of Larry Bird in his green Boston Celtics warmup shirt, holding a red, white, and blue basketball in a shooting motion. The design includes a vertical black border on the left side with green text reading 'THREE-POINT KING 1986-88'. The bottom features the 'HEROES' set logo and a nameplate for 'LARRY BIRD' in a green and gold box. The hologram logo of Upper Deck is visible in the top left corner. This specific card is housed in a clear protective plastic top-loader and resting on a black display stand. The card appears to be in excellent condition with crisp corners and clean edges visible through the holder. The gloss on the card surface reflects minimal light, suggesting a well-preserved finish. This set was highly popular in the early 1990s as a tribute to Bird's legendary career upon his retirement.
