Michael Jordan signed by the Bulls in a Chicago newspaper...



Item # 674016

March 30, 1982

SUN-TIMES, Chicago, March 30, 1982

* Michael Jordan's game winning shot
* North Carolina Tar Heels basketball
* NCAA college championship vs. Georgetown
* From the city where he would become a legend


The top of the back page has a heading: "North Carolina finally does it" with two related photos and box scores. First report coverage continues inside. Text includes: "...The Tar Heels won it 63-62 over Georgetown on a 17-foot jump shot by freshman guard Michael Jordan with 15 seconds to play..." (see) Great to have in a Chicago publication, the city that would make him an icon. I expect this to be an extremely rare item because there was really no reason to save it at the time.
Complete with all 86 pages, tabloid-size publication, light toning and minor wear at the margins, generally very nice.
