Bird
 
Is it a painting or a print/poster? From the scan, it looks like an officially NBA licensed poster from the original artwork of Jim Clark of Tampa, FLA. I tried to find information on Clark, but as is often the case, there is a more famous person with the same name (F1 Jim Clark) who overrides any search engines.

That looks to be it. I guess now Id say mines a print too. Didn't have a smooth finish but has a rough texture on its surface like a painting but must of just made them that way. Thanks a lot.

Larry Bird print
 
The original artwork looks like it was a mixed-media of pen, ink, colored pencils and watercolor. If you had the original artwork it would be on heavy watercolor paper.

I think you have what they call an open edition, unsigned print that is in near mint condition that is matted. The one on ebay is trashed and is not really collectable. A Celtic fan would probably give you a decent amount for yours.
