Ultra-Rare Fan-Captured Limited Edition 8x10 Michael Jordan Type II Photograph struck directly from a privately held, original 35mm film negative that was shot from the stands on April 13, 1989, at Market Square Arena.
Picture comes framed, as shown in the listing.
Limited Edition Print #1/23
Extensive archive and roster verification has confirmed this photo captures one of the single most dominant, legendary individual performances of Michael Jordan\'s career. Playing point guard in Head Coach Doug Collins\' offense during his famous late-season run, Jordan completely controlled the floor for 46 minutes, exploding for a monumental stat line:
- 47 Points
- 13 Assists
- 11 Rebounds
- 4 Steals
This historic night also featured an iconic showdown with a young Reggie Miller, who started the game and logged 40 minutes and dropped 25 points to defend his home court in a thrilling 109-105 Pacers victory.
This spectacular photograph captures Michael Jordan receiving a pass from teammate Craig Hodges while being closely defended by Reggie Miller, playing in only his second NBA season. It\'s an ultra-rare action shot taken on a professional grade Nikon SLR film camera with manual Nikon zoom lens from Section 7, Row H (center court). It is amongst the only such photographs in existence (that of a fan\'s unique perspective) of Michael Jordan in action from a road game during his historic 1988-89 season.
Very few, IF ANY, photographs exist from this vantage point - that of a fan in the stands - taken on professional grade equipment, as cameras with a removable lens were strictly prohibited in all NBA venues (unless professionally credentialed and located on the floor behind the baseline in the designated media area). But one lucky 14-yr old fan snuck one in and captured magic that night.
Note, this image is from my family\'s Personal Collection: the original negative (see in pictures) was recently discovered safely stored in the attic, tucked away safely since 1989.
This photograph is hand-inked on the reverse side with the verified historical game data, archive layout notes, and the photographer\'s signature.
Please feel free to message me with any questions.
Authenticity note: As the seller, I guarantee this print comes directly from my family archive. This original image/photograph was taken by my family member who attended this game.
