August Card & Memorabilia Auction Closing August 28-29

Lot #16: 1969-70 Topps #25 Lew Alcindor Rookie Card – PSA NM-MT 8

Description

Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in his Rookie Card appearance. Among a total of more than 3,800 examples recorded in PSA’s census reporting, just two dozen copies (fewer than one percent of the total population) have been placed at a higher, unqualified tier. The offered example of this prized item is commendable in every respect. Its four razor-sharp corners betray evidence of handling only in barely discernible wisps of touching, and its print quality is exemplary. An especially treasured collectible on the basis of its distinctive size and its revered subject – who would become known as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar – this "Tall Boy" gum card will immediately elevate an impressive gallery of modern-era basketball cards. This is a superstar rookie card that boasts a simply fabulous overall appearance! High-quality Near Mint to Mint condition.
