Basketball · Los Angeles Lakers · Power forward
Magic's defining card is the 1980-81 Topps Bird/Magic/Erving tri-panel rookie, which is the most valuable card in his collection by a wide margin; PSA 10 copies have sold for roughly $500,000 at the top, while PSA 9s traded around $25,000 in September 2026. His 1981 Topps #21 solo base card and the 1986 Fleer Sticker #7 and #53 are the most actively traded Magic singles, with recent PSA 10 sales in the $4,000 to $14,000 range. Most top-end comps are thin, and several raw prices are from 2025, so check the dates before relying on them.
Prices are recent sales we found on Oct 8, 2026 and refresh weekly while people are looking. Check the sold prices before you buy.
