Description: Bird’s first cover . As with MJ there was no consensus that Larry would become a star let alone an all time top 10 superstar in the NBA. Also again like MJ’s FC this was a thick issue and much harder to preserve in a high grade. Subscription issues were bought to read. Newsstand issues were bought to save. Usually as in this case the highest graded NS issue is a higher grade than the corresponding Subscription issue.This is an amazing and truly rare issue…. Of the 40 Newsstand Bird 77’s 6 are above 9.0 while there is only 1 CGC 9.0 of the 33 graded subscription issues. Of the 150 Subscription issues graded of the1983 FC of MJ ( and Perkins) there are only 2 9.2’s … all the others are 9.0 or below. Of his 98 NS issues there are 4 at 9.2 or higher… so is a high grade NS issue really more scarce than a high grade subscription issue? Certainly for these very thick SI issues it would appear that the highest graded subscription issues are more rare and I believe are being under valued by SI collectors. NS issues have been more desirable because they appear in some cases cleaner but mainly much more scarce but in these 2 examples that does not appear to be the case for the highest graded.
