1971 Topps Basketball Super High-Grade Set, Maravich PSA (233)

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 3/25/2021

This is an amazing example of the important 1971 Topps Basketball issue, found her in mostly an almost unimprovable Near-Mint to Near-Mint to Mint condition, with the emphasis clearly to the upper end of the spectrum and only one notable card below the range. With incredible gloss and blazing, vivid colors in a uniquely designed issue with broad color panels put to good effect, the presentation is nothing short of sensational. This was Topps’ first standard-size hoops issue from the era after two consecutive years of offering oversized cards. The key Hall of Famers and major stars fall within the broader condition range and are listed individually below.
