This is one of the coolest Rookie card arrays we’ve ever encountered, a blazing Near-Mint to Near-Mint to Mint group, with some below, that includes many of the important Rookie cards from 1960 to 1990, with a host of Hall of Famers and great stars included in the group. Eight PSA 8 and 9 slabs tell the story for the rest of the raw group: these are spectacular cards, seemingly uncirculated and boasting great color and gloss. We slipped a handful of Topps basketball cards into the mix just to make sure everyone was paying attention.
