This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 9/24/2017
This complete set includes all 99 cards, and is the first major production of basketball cards since 1961-62. These 99 cards were Topp's second venture into basketball card production (their previous set was the 1957-58 set), therefore making this set loaded with rookie cards. Key cards in this set include rookie cards of Lew Alcindor (barely visible horizontal wrinkle across the bottom 1/4 of card), Gil Goodrich, Cazzie Russell, Connie Hawkins, John Havlicek, Billy Cunningham, Bill Bradley (congressman in later years), Jerry Lucas, Wes Unseld, Willis Reed, Paul Silas, Elvin Hayes, Don Nelson, Dave DeBusschere (dual sport player - also a White Sox pitcher), Walt Frazier, and more. Other highlights include Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, Lenny Wilkens, Oscar Robertson, Hal Greer, and more. Checklist card #99 has been neatly marked in pencil.
