BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! John Wooden and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar Dual Signed Framed UCLA Basketball Memorabilia Display with JSA Letter of Authenticity
This professionally framed sports memorabilia display celebrates the historic UCLA basketball era of Coach John Wooden and Lew Alcindor, later known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The display features a section of light-wood basketball court floor autographed by John Wooden in black fiber-tip marker, inscribed with his name and UCLA. Below the floor section is a 1977-78 Topps basketball card (number 557, 2nd Team All-Star) signed by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in gold paint pen. The card is also hand-numbered 557/1978 in matching gold ink. To the left is a color photograph depicting Alcindor in a blue UCLA warm-up jacket with championship nets around his neck alongside Coach Wooden. An engraved gold-tone plaque at the lower right lists career highlights for both individuals, including Wooden’s 10 NCAA championships and Alcindor’s three All-American honors. The items are mounted in a blue mat with gold and white decorative borders within a black frame. Authentication is provided by James Spence Authentication (JSA) with a Letter of Authenticity, certification number ZZ70283, identifying the item as a signed framed display with two signatures in gold and black.
Size: 11 x 21 inches.
Condition report:
The display is in excellent overall condition. Both signatures are bold and clear with no evidence of fading. The court floor section and photograph are well-preserved. The 1977-78 Topps card shows light wear to the corners and edges appropriate for its age but remains securely mounted. The matting and frame are in good structural condition with only minor shelf wear to the frame edges.
