Presented is an imposing array of the 8-by-10-inch poster inserts from the 1969 Topps Basketball issue that marked the company’s return to the hard court after a 12-year absence. The posters, always a difficult collectible because of thin paper stock and the necessity for folding them into packages, are found here in a complete set that is virtually Near-Mint, and then have another 28 extras tossed into the mix, many in the same pristine condition.
