THE ULTIMATE PATRICK EWING "TIME CAPSULE" COLLECTIBLE An incredibly rare piece of NBA history from the peak of the 1980s: a MINT Patrick Ewing "Character" caricature poster, preserved inside the original February 5, 1989, issue of the Spanish magazine Basket 16 (Issue #70).
THE POSTER (The Star Attraction): * Artist: Created by the legendary Spanish artist duo Gallego & Rey. * Artwork: A unique, "funny" caricature featuring Ewing with an enlarged head sitting atop a basketball hoop, scratching his ear—a design rarely seen outside of the Spanish market. * Condition: UNPULLED & MINT. This poster has never been removed from the magazine staples. It has zero pinholes, zero tape marks, and zero sun-fading. It has been protected from the elements for 35 years. * Style: Classic 80s "Big Head" aesthetic, similar to the iconic Costacos Brothers or Bruce Stark styles, but with a sophisticated European flair.
THE MAGAZINE (The Provenance): * Publication: Basket 16 (Spain), 5th Feb 1989. * Cover: Features Lakers legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar during his historic 1989 retirement season. * Cover Condition: Estimated at PSA 4-5 (Very Good/Excellent). The cover shows authentic age-related handling wear, which serves to prove this is a genuine 1989 vintage original and not a modern reprint.
WHY THIS IS A MUST-HAVE: Most posters from this era were ripped out, pinned to bedroom walls, and destroyed decades ago. Finding an unpulled version of a specific international artist’s work like Gallego & Rey is nearly impossible. This is a "White Whale" for any serious Patrick Ewing or New York Knicks super-collector.
Don’t miss the chance to own a piece of Ewing history that your fellow collectors haven’t seen before!
