Large 1987-88 early color action photograph of Larry Bird from the Boston Celtics backing up his defender in the post and looking to score against the Chicago Bulls. A vintage color masterpiece from the earliest days of mass produced color technology in newspapers, the photo is clear and bold with exceptional detail. Stamped on the back from the Chicago Tribune photographer (Ed Wagner Jr.) that took it with notes from him that go into depth about the action. From the archives of the Chicago Tribune and likely unique. NOTE, PSA considers this type of early photograph (which used layers to make the image) a Type 3 but we consider it a Vintage 1 under our system so please keep this in mind when bidding.
