Nick Anderson wore that pinstripe for the first decade of the Magic's existence — from the franchise's inaugural 1989-90 season through 1999, making him the player most associated with the foundational years of Orlando professional basketball. This framed 35x39 jersey — signed by Anderson and authenticated by PSA\/DNA with COA certification — is a piece of the Magic's most celebrated era, bearing the signature of the player who was there from the beginning.

He attended the University of Illinois — the program in Champaign that competed in the Big Ten against the same roster of schools that produced players for the same NBA draft classes — and developed the shooting guard skill set that made him a first-round selection and placed him with the team that would change his life: the expansion franchise in central Florida that was about to enter the NBA for the first time.

His years in Orlando coincided with the franchise's entire arc from expansion roster to playoff contender to Finals participant — witnessing the building of a team around first Shaquille O'Neal and then the pairing of O'Neal with Penny Hardaway that produced the most feared duo in the Eastern Conference in the mid-1990s. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnderson's contributions to the Magic during their development years — before Shaq, as the team built its foundation — and during the championship window that the O'Neal-Hardaway partnership created represent the full arc of what Orlando basketball was in its first decade of existence. The blue pinstripe jersey he wore across those years is the visual symbol of that entire era.

For the first time in the Magic's existence, the pinstripe jerseys were on the Finals stage, and Anderson was part of the team that had carried them there. Condition: NOS.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 1995 Finals is remembered for the Rockets' four-game sweep — but also for the specific drama of Game 1 in Orlando, when the Magic held a lead in the final seconds of regulation and then overtime, only to lose in a finish that became one of the most discussed in Finals history. Anderson's experience in that Finals was part of the Magic's defining chapter — the moment when the franchise discovered that the step from contender to champion was not the step they had taken yet.
