Within each pack will be one of four Magic Johnson’s career moments that happened during seasons in which he won the NBA Championship with the Los Angeles Lakers. Each pack will come with ‘a single guaranteed Magic Johnson Moment NFT in either the Legendary or Rare tier’.

The four Magic Johnson moments within the NFT collection are Never Fear, E.J. Is Here, Now You See it, Now You Don’t, Hocus Pocus Pass and Game. Set. Magic.
