FINALLY GOT IT! Magic/Bird Hoops auto
I have been after this card since 1994 when I was 15. I have been skittish a number of times due to the rampant counterfeits but this one is beautiful. I bought it from an eBayer who was nice enough to end the auction early for me and has 100% positive feedback.

That is a beautiful card! I'm curious, if you don't mind sharing what did it set you back?

Thanks! $300. The funny thing is there was a PSA 9 that I was trying to win and at the last moment of the auction someone bid $5 more than me and won it with $330. Ended up working out though ;D

Man, that card brings back the memories! I was a little older in '94 but I remember pulling a few of the unsigned ones back in the day. Congrats on the excellent pickup!

$300 is not bad at all. That is a beautiful card. I wonder if there are any other Magic/Bird Dual Autos. Well congrats on finally achieving your goal!

BTW, I just read in Beckett that the auto version is MB1A but I have never seen a card on the back have MB1A, just MB1. Am I missing something?
