Graded NM 7 by PSA. Hall of Famer, seen in an extremely scarce Rookie Card appearance. This is one of a mere two examples at its tier (with two graded higher) among a total of only 33 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting. This visually captivating and physically delicate Lew Alcindor card – produced for limited distribution in the Italian market – was released a full season before his coveted Topps debut gum card, and several years before the athlete adopted the now-familiar name of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. As a point of reference on past value for this seldom-traded showpiece, a PSA NM-MT 8 example of this card changed hands privately for $32,500 in September, 2018. An outstanding potential addition to any of the industry's most sophisticated assemblies of basketball collectibles, in elite Near Mint condition.
