One of Dr. J’s classic sideways dunks is captured in this image printed on acrylic. It’s part of Upper Deck Authenticated’s latest offering of “The Show.” This one, entitled “The Doctor,” features the dynamic image over a layer of the largest known signature of Dr. J on a large piece of archival paper. It comes framed and measures 46” x 20” overall for a museum-quality piece that will be the highlight of any memorabilia collection. Erving’s huge autograph is signed using a thick black marker. His signature is deemed authentic by virtue of Upper Deck Authenticated’s Five-Step Process.
