This Elgin Baylor and Jerry West dual-signed Sports Illustrated magazine features two of the greatest players in Los Angeles Lakers and NBA history on the cover of the April 28, 1969 issue. The cover features the headline "Celtics-L.A. Showdown" and showcases both legendary Lakers players in their classic gold uniforms.
Elgin Baylor has personally hand-signed the cover in blue ink, adding his "#22" inscription alongside his signature. Jerry West has also personally hand-signed the cover in blue ink, making this a highly desirable dual-autographed piece featuring two Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame inductees.
The autographs have been authenticated by Beckett Authentication Services (BAS) and are accompanied by a Beckett Witnessed authentication hologram and matching certificate of authenticity, certification number WE51312. The magazine is housed in a protective sleeve.
Elgin Baylor was an 11-time NBA All-Star and one of the most influential forwards in basketball history, while Jerry West was a 14-time NBA All-Star, an NBA champion, and the inspiration behind the NBA's iconic logo. Together, they helped establish the Lakers as one of basketball's most celebrated franchises.
This vintage Sports Illustrated cover is an excellent collectible for fans of the Los Angeles Lakers, NBA history, and Hall of Fame memorabilia, bringing together two basketball legends on a single autographed magazine.
