Up for sale is a MINT 1988 Michael Jordan Costacos Poster Slam 60x22 Rare Retail Transit Variant. This features the legendary photo by official Bulls photographer Bill Smith, capturing Jordan posterizing Kenny Walker of the Knicks at the old Chicago Stadium.If you are a serious sports memorabilia investor, you know how rare it is to find this exact poster. Here is why this specific piece carries such a high market value:1. ULTRA-RARE 60\" x 22\" FACTORY VARIANT (NOT TRIMMED)
While Costacos Brothers is famous for their 74-inch \"Door Posters,\" they printed a highly limited parallel line at exactly 60\"x22\". These were manufactured strictly as premium retail display pieces and catalog mail-orders. This poster is 100% original and has NOT been cut or trimmed down. The full layout is intact.2. COMPLETE INTACT COPYRIGHT & PHOTO CREDIT
Because it is completely untrimmed, the vital authentication text is perfectly preserved on the bottom edge: \"©1988 Costacos Brothers Incorporated... Photo by Bill Smith.\" In the vintage poster market, having this text intact is the ultimate proof of authenticity and significantly drives up the value.3. PRISTINE \"DEADSTOCK\" / NEW OLD STOCK (NOS) CONDITION
The vast majority of these posters were taped, tacked, or glued to bedroom walls by teenagers in the late 1980s, leaving them ruined. This copy has NEVER been hung.ZERO pinholes or staple marks in the corners.
