Vintage NBA Jerseys - Guide to Top Vintage NBA Jerseys

If you're shopping for a "blast from the past" NBA jerseys, you have ample opportunities to collect and trade.  One of the most prominent jerseys of all time is Larry Bird's classic Boston Celtics uniform.  Bird's number 33 jersey was a widely recognized public symbol during the Boston Celtics dominance during the 1980s.  If you want to get a pair of classic Los Angeles Lakers jerseys, nothing beats the Kobe Bryant, Shaquille O'Neal combo.  When these two pillars of power were at their peak in the late 1990s, the Lakers were unstoppable.  You can also get Shaquille's number 32 jersey from his time with the Orlando Magic.

The reason Shaquille couldn't take the number 32 jersey with the Lakers was that it belonged to another great player--Magic Johnson, who wore the uniform during the early 1980s.  Johnson helped Lakers best the Philadelphia 76ers (capped by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) in one of the most stunning NBA championships of all time.  Of course, who can forget Michael Jordan's ubiquitous number 23, which he wore for the Chicago Bulls during his reign of dominance.

Jordan's jersey was nor just a symbol of the Chicago Bulls but also a worldwide institution.  Basketball fans worldwide--even people who didn't really understand the game of basketball--purchased Jordan's number 23 jersey, since it was so iconic of the America of the late 1980s.

You can also find great jerseys from up-and-comers that are likely to turn into valuable vintage jerseys from players like Steve Nash (number 13 for the Phoenix Suns), Ron Artest (number 93 for the Sacramento Kings), and Larry Johnson (number 2 for the Charlotte Hornets).  Signed and authentic vintage NBA jerseys can sell for thousands of dollars at auctions.
