Vintage 1988 Los Angeles Lakers "World Champion" Lapel Pin

Celebrate a defining moment in NBA history with this vintage 1988 Los Angeles Lakers World Champions pin, commemorating their back-to-back titles from 1987–1988. Featuring the classic Lakers logo in bold purple enamel over a textured gold-tone basketball design, this piece captures the energy of the Showtime era. Manufactured by Peter David Inc. and dated © NBA 1988 on the reverse, it’s an authentic period collectible tied directly to one of the franchise’s most iconic championship runs.

Measuring just over 1 inch wide, this pin is a great size for display or wear on a jacket, hat, or collection board. Pieces like this resonate with collectors because they represent the Magic Johnson era—one of the most celebrated periods in basketball history—and original late-80s licensed pins are becoming harder to find in this condition.

Very good vintage condition. Enamel remains vibrant with only minor surface wear visible under close inspection. Gold-tone finish shows light age-related patina but no major flaws. Backing and clasp are intact and functional.
