Large 1985-86 full color action photograph of young Michael Jordan as he battled with the Boston Celtics and their big man Kevin McHale above the rim. An early color image of Jordan, one of the earliest we have ever handle din fact, this comes from the Chicago Tribune and has their stamped on the back as well as a newspaper caption that identifies the photographer as Bob Langer. The process that the Tribune used for their early color photography was revolutionary at the time and the photographs were absolutely developed in dark rooms off the original negative, the layering of colors usually makes PSA deem these to be Type 3 under their system so please keep this is mind when bidding.
