1990-91 NBA Hoops Magic Johnson 'Most Valuable Player' Basketball Card

The item is a sports trading card featuring Earvin 'Magic' Johnson, specifically from the 'NBA Hoops' series. The card prominently displays a photograph of Johnson in his gold Los Angeles Lakers uniform, number 32, holding a basketball on what appears to be a court during a game. Above the image, 'MAGIC JOHNSON' is printed in a dark purple or blue font, with 'Guard' directly below. To the right of Johnson's image, a yellow rectangular overlay with textured background reads 'MOST VALUABLE PLAYER' in dark text. Below the main image, a purple strip features 'NBAHOOPS' on the left and the circular Los Angeles Lakers logo (a basketball with 'LAKERS' text) on the right. The card's border is a light grey color, with a thin yellow line running horizontally directly beneath the main image and purple strip. The card appears to be housed within a clear plastic protective sleeve, which shows some minor wear or dust at the top left corner. The overall condition of the card itself, as visible through the sleeve, appears to be good with no obvious creases or significant edge wear, though precise condition cannot be fully assessed without removal from the sleeve. This card likely dates to the late 1980s or early 1990s, given the 'NBA Hoops' branding and Magic Johnson's prominent career during that era, particularly as an MVP.
