Description
1991-92 Upper Deck Larry Johnson Top Prospects Rookie Card #2 featuring the #1 overall draft pick and 1992 NBA Rookie of the Year in his teal Charlotte Hornets uniform dribbling down the court. Features the classic woodgrain border accent design with the 91-92 Upper Deck diamond logo and NBA Top Prospects emblem.
Key Features
True rookie year card for former #1 overall pick, 2x All-Star, and UNLV legend Grandmama Larry Johnson. Classic 90s Upper Deck inaugural basketball set design.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity confidence is High. Standard junk-wax era card on standard glossy Upper Deck card stock; low market value makes counterfeits virtually nonexistent.
Flaws to Note
Minor left-to-right centering bias (approx 55/45 or 60/40). Plastic penny sleeve reflection obscures full surface evaluation, but corners appear well-preserved.

Selling Tips
