Graded NM-MT 8 by PSA. Hall of Famer, in a short-printed Rookie Card appearance. Among nearly 950 copies recorded in PSA's census reporting, just five examples have been placed at a higher, unqualified tier. Presented here is the most sought-after entry in its celebrated production and, indeed, one of the most desirable basketball cards ever made. Cards from Topps' 1957/58 release are typically affected by frustrating inadequacies in their presentation; most common among these are woeful print quality and obtrusive "snow" that disrupts aesthetics. Those unfortunate generalities only serve to emphasize the exceptional rendering of the offered specimen. This one excels where virtually all of its contemporaries fall short. Its printing is superb with virtually no distracting snow or dots. The corners are razor-sharp and, complemented by a superlative measure of gloss, accentuate the card's pack-fresh appearance. The card's provenance includes the Elitecards Collection, one of the PSA Set Registry's most prestigious assemblies of superb items. Spectacular Near Mint to Mint condition. Very seldom seen or offered in this extraordinary grade!
