Here is an imposing, almost unimprovable group of the oversized 1976 Topps Basketball issue, an array that is basically Near-Mint or better condition, with a few below and boasting great color and gloss put to good effect on the 5 ¼-by-3 1/8th-inch classics. This grouping includes a significant amount of duplication yet still provides a great start on a complete set, with the duplication caveat including a number of the key Hall of Famers.
