I still have a vivid memory of that... That's one of those "where were you when that happened?" things to me - right in line with the Challenger explosion and WTC attacks.

Magic was my favorite player. I had just gotten done with basketball practice (grade school). My mom picked me up and as soon as I hopped in the car she said "did you hear that Magic Johnson has AIDS?" (We didn't know it was HIV yet.) I was in complete shock. I literally fought back tears. The rest of that evening, all I did was watch everything I could about Magic.... His press conference... What was going to happen to him... and the Lakers...

I cried like a baby, man. I was 18 and working nights back then. It was a Thursday and I was woken up by my Mom in the early evening and told Magic was having a press conference saying he had AIDS. It was like an ethereal nightmare. I just sat there numb as fuck when he said "I'm retiring from the Lakers."

I had lost my collection of cards for several years. After my divorce they ended up in some box. I knew they were still in the plastic sheets and binder at my ex's house. I told my son if he found them I would give him $50. He ended up finding it for me this past fall. That was a great day

That sucks man. My ex probably didn't even realize what they were and threw them in a box with other junk. It probably sat in the basement for a couple of years.
 
This was back in 1987.......I looked dumbfounded and put the 2 pieces back together on the dresser and she took them again and ripped the into four pcs....

That card was no where near what it is today....

So probably not much criminal damage....
