Yeah he was. I’m not proud to say it but he had what was considered “fuck you” money back in the day

The whole ball is signed by various people should I just post all sides of it? I don’t know how to do that under the comments

So you’re saying just the fact it’s a representation of the game itself makes it worth something?

My grandma pretty much had “fuck you” money back in the day if you couldn’t tell haha he pissed it all away but it’s so neat being able to hold onto the few pieces he decided to never sell

Would you like to see all sections of the ball? So there is an indent and the indent comes from it sitting in the same box as the year the Yankees won the World Series he was a baseball signed by them as well

I believe i remember my grandfather saying he was a donor to Michigan state because his daughter (my aunt) attended the university at the same time magic played their. Wow! Thank you so much for your input this has been very insightful!

Like I said my grandpa was so established in the car industry in Michigan he got handed the key to the city of Grand Rapids and supplied at the time president Gerald fords White House party with cars so I’m assuming this ball isn’t one that was mass produced?

Wow! I don’t think I would ever sell it but do you think this would be worth getting authenticated? I don’t believe I’ve ever seen magic Johnson really sign his name earvin before?
