1981 Topps #109 Magic Johnson West PSA 9 - The Showtime Catalyst Shines on the All-Star Stage

Magic Johnson didn’t just play the game—he transformed it. By 1981, the 6’9” point guard had already redefined his position, bringing a brand of unselfish flair and infectious energy that sparked the Showtime Lakers into motion. Just two years removed from his remarkable NBA Finals MVP performance as a rookie, Magic had cemented his place as the league’s most electric facilitator and floor general. This card, part of Topps’ All-Star subset, captures him representing the Western Conference in style, a nod to his rising status among the NBA’s elite.

The 1981 Topps #109 West All-Star issue features a bold design with a patriotic red, white, and blue banner and a clean in-action photo of Magic surveying the court. Unlike his base card from the same set, this All-Star edition adds a level of prestige and visual pop. Graded PSA 9, this copy boasts outstanding centering, sharp corners, and vibrant color saturation, making it one of the top-condition examples of a card that often shows wear around its borders and edges due to its colorful framing.
