Michael Jordan Signed Vintage Nike "Playground" Poster 24x36 -PSA/DNA & Beckett

Description: This iconic poster was originally released in 1989 (with smaller versions included in Wheaties boxes). This extremely RARE larger 24'" by 36" version was issued to Air Jordan Flight Club members. The poster is expertly encased in a black frame with white matting. It presents beautifully. Including the frame, the full size measures a massive 29.25" x 40.75" The poster is hand-signed by Jordan at the center in partially faded vintage black ink. The lot includes not one but TWO Letters of Authenticity. One from PSA/DNA and one from Beckett Authentication Services. The photograph - snapped by famed photographer Stephen Wilkes - features Air Jordan elevating on a city blacktop court with a wall of graffiti serving as an artistic backdrop and is widely considered one of the greatest Michael Jordan photos ever taken. According to Wilkes, "The concept was to capture Michael with a group of kids playing a pickup game. We found this fabulous location in a local park in downtown Chicago. We found 9 local high school kids to play in the pickup game. Michael's awe-inspiring athleticism and kinetic energy were on full display. I can still remember one of the kids (who wore Michael‘s 23 Bulls jersey) began talking trash, just as Michael was taking the ball up the court. I watched in amazement as he began to put the young man’s taunts to rest. He suddenly did a crossover move and began to take off from what appeared to be the top of the key. As Michael elevated, his body uncurled and stretched upward as he reached peak altitude. The expressions on the players’ faces at that moment were a testament to what we all just witnessed."
