This is a sparkling 1973-74 Topps Basketball complete set that is essentially unimproveable, a blazing Near-Mint to Near-Mint to Mint monster, with vivid colors and photo registration, sharp corners and good centering. In an issue that is remarkably consistent in its presentation from start to finish, even the card backs grab your attention, with bold red and green highlights on super clean surfaces. Despite the lofty overall grade, there is no discernible difference between the Tier One Hall of Famers and stars and the rest of the crew. The roster of HOFers and stars is resplendent: No. 1 Archibald, Thurmond, Frazier, Murphy, Havlicek, Cowens, Hawkins, Walker, Bellamy, Barry, Hayes, West, Reed, Lanier, Haywood, Lucas, Westphal, Maravich, McAdoo, Monroe, Wilkens, Bing, Unseld, Daniels, Cunningham, Beaty, Erving and Gilmore.
