Clyde Drexler Autographed Basketball Card Display with Certificate of Authenticity

This item is a framed display featuring a limited edition, autographed Clyde Drexler basketball card alongside its corresponding Certificate of Authenticity. The display consists of a rectangular, gold-colored metal or possibly a metallic-finished plastic frame, secured with four visible Phillips head screws in each corner, suggesting a robust construction. Behind the metal frame are two clear acrylic or plastic panels, sandwiching the card and the certificate. The basketball card, titled 'Allstar Favorite' and featuring Clyde Drexler, shows an action shot of basketball players in purple jerseys, likely during a game, with a basketball hoop visible. Below the image, Clyde Drexler's signature is prominently featured in what appears to be gold or silver ink, overlapping the image, and 'Clyde Drexler #22' is printed at the bottom. The card displays minor surface wear, consistent with being handled before encapsulation, with some light scuffs or scratches visible on its protective acrylic layer. The Certificate of Authenticity, issued by 'WORLD CLASS INVESTMENTS INC.', is a white document with black text, certifying that the enclosed card is one of only 10,000 numbered cards personally autographed by Clyde Drexler. It explicitly states that the card is a limited edition and that the photo negative and plates used for its production have been destroyed to prevent reproduction. The certificate is hand-numbered '1/32' and dated 'Feb 22 1993', indicating it is a very early print in the limited run. It also bears what appears to be a signature from 'Clyde Drexler' and another signature, possibly 'Shundley', identified as 'General Manager'. The overall quality of the display suggests it was professionally assembled for collectors, offering both presentation and protection for the valuable contents. The gold frame exhibits a clean, perhaps slightly aged, patina, but no significant damage or wear is discernible on the frame itself. The protective acrylic layers show some minor surface scratches, as noted, but these do not detract significantly from the view of the enclosed items.
