Awesome Kareem! But so sorry about those other grades! Unless there were wrinkles and creases that you didn't mention.... Man, they reamed you. Especially on that Bowman Feller.
Adding T206s left and right- WOW. You’re just casually catching up to my Monster build like you picked up your takeout for supper 😂 Love the Zach Wheat especially! The Lew Alcindor RC has to be in the top 10, no doubt!
Mike, we are 1969 Topps Kareem RC clubbies! Congrats, your copy is so sharp and clean! I think of 1969 Topps Basketball as being sort of like 1952 Topps baseball in some ways. I think the 1969 Topps Kareem RC is absolutely one of the most iconic vintage basketball card! Looking forward to seeing you at the Big Show! 😊👊
What an amazing Kareem! That's not just a tall boy, that's a big boy card. And that '49 Feller, I absolutely love that card. Awesome eye appeal for a 1.5.
Sweet cards Mike, the Alcindor RC is one I want to add someday yours in a 7 is a monster card. I think it is definitely top 4 or 5 basketball cards of all time. For me it is right behind the 61 Fleer Chamberlain, Jerry West and Bill Russell!
Lew is one of top 10 Vintage rookie cards. Mikan, Wilt, Russell, Baylor, Robertson, West,Maravich, Erving,Cousy. Bird/Magic if you call that vintage. Jordan classifies as Modern to me. Thanks for the show.
These look great man! I got to see a Rangers game for the first time on Tuesday and loved it! I am a Cardinals fan, but the 7-0 win was fun to be a part of.
Great keepers Mike! Good question, I would go by how often I see them and put the 1948 Bowman Mikan, 1951 Scott's Potato Chip Mikan, 1957 Topps Russell, Fleer Wilt, West, Baylor and Big O, then Jabbar as my favorites. I don't have Jordon high because I've seen collections with 50+ Jordan's. Jordan, Lebron and Kobe in the top 15. Dr J, Cousy and Bird Magic up there too. Probably missing someone.
Great additions. I think the Alcindor is a top 5 card. Probably depends on how you want to look at it: vintage, iconic, etc. I have one as well, but not nearly that nice. Love the t205 Collins. Such a beautiful card.
# 1 for the Lew Alcindor rookie I remember him at UCLA He played only 3 years because freshman were not aloud to play Varsity Also There was no dunking aloud back then either.
Top 10 basketball rookie card? Absolutely. Top 10 basketball card? Well now you've evoked the legend of the golden age of inserts/parralels of 1995-1998 basketball and basketball cards. And that conversation could literally be filled with all jordan cards 😂
I’m earmarked as never before 65 business days. Sent 10 graded cards. July 12 is 65 business days. I’ve not once had good service from PSA, but I’m not famous :)
Congrats, Mike! Great cards. That Alcindor is amazing, and I would think it would have to be a top 10- 15 baskerball card of all time.The Feller has to be one of the best-looking 1.5s on earth. I also prefer the T205s over the T206 cards. Great cards!
Congrats on the lew! I had a big basketball pickup myself. I literally got a bird magic rookie in psa 7 TODAY! Been chasing it for years! So awesome when you get one of your grail cards. As a long time collector, those are the absolute best hobby days?
If you want basketball's version of the T206 Wagner, my recommendation is to acquire the '48 Bowman George Mikan. One day I hope to own a copy. They're fairly rare
I've had an order in Assembly for at least a week, probably more like 10 days now. PSA estimated the order would be out by Aug 5, so they're still ahead of schedule, but still kinda annoying.
