A member of the 1969 NBA championship team, Bryant played 2 of his 8 seasons with the Celtics, averaging 6.7ppg.

If Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was alive now, and had a logo man, black finite, or other rare one of ones his values would be crazy. If you look at the pop reports, he actually doesn’t have that many graded rookies out there and these tall boys are great condition sensitive. He has lots of autographs around, but not many with his full name in the instructions also matter. All this one isn’t in the best condition. It does have some descriptions and it’s one of my favorites.

I’ll likely never get this graded, just because it won’t fit in my display case. But Baylor is a player who can be bought cheap, despite being a top-25 all-time player, and one of the greatest power forwards ever. This isn’t his rookie card, but it’s his first Topps card. And it’s pretty.
