It's a legitimate, established certification company, but its population data and resale market are much thinner than the \"Big Three\" — worth knowing for buyers used to shopping PSA or BGS slabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the card:\u003c\/strong\u003e Byron Scott was a 6'3\" shooting guard out of Arizona State, drafted 4th overall by the San Diego Clippers in 1983 and immediately traded to the Lakers, where he became a key starter in the \"Showtime\" era alongside Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. This card shows four seasons of career stats on the back, including his 1986-87 season averaging 17.0 points per game, so it's a veteran-era issue rather than a rookie card. Scott went on to win three NBA championships as a player with the Lakers (1985, 1987, 1988) and later had a long career as an NBA head coach, leading the New Jersey Nets to back-to-back NBA Finals appearances and later coaching the Cleveland Cavaliers and Lakers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eShips same business day of cleared payment.
