Take a step back in time, to where it all began for Sir Charles in the NBA! This vintage classic takes you back to the 1984-85 season, when the great Charles Barkley exploded on the scene as the #5.overall pick out of that legendary 1984 draft class. This poster comes from his earliest days in the league, when he was an unstoppable force off the bench - but before the season was out, he was an every day starter, and fully established as one of the top power forwards in the game for the next decade. As with all posters in the "White Border" Sports Illustrated design that spanned the years 1978-1987, this one features the best of Sports Illustrated photography, the iconic white-bordered layout, and a facsimile signature from the player himself as part of the design.

This particular poster was obtained as part of our "Toledo Collection", obtained from a collector in Ohio who preserved his large collection of old 1980s Sports Illustrated posters flat, never displayed on the wall, and virtually untouched since purchasing them out of store racks back in the day. This one displays as well as it would have back in the 1980s, with just some minor typical imperfections consistent with any poster purchased at that time (this one has a crease in the top-right border area that you can see in the image). The picture you see here is the actual poster you will receive! Don't miss your chance at this one, Barkley fans - only one available.
