Man, these are cool cards! Taken from the edge of some Chuck Taylors, the style that Russell wore in the NBA and a crisp on-card autograph - just a very cool card. Wanted it slabbed more for protection than a grade.

I thought this was a PSA 7 with an outside shot at a PSA 8 with crisp corners and smooth edges. Centering is its only downfall. But PSA 6?! Cmon man, that’s brutal! This card presents so nicely in-hand and looks awesome for a 2nd year Russell!

One of my favorites. Outside of being off center, the color, edges and corners and great color really pop on this Bill Russell rookie. It’s stunning. SBC was the company that later turned into SGC. I’m reluctant to cross it as the slab hold value showing the legacy and history of when it was first graded. I’d only trade it for or towards a signed Russell rookie.

One of my favorite Celtics cards. Yes, I wish it was on-card and I wish I could add Jayson Tatum. But after last nights game, I’m consoling myself by remembering how amazing and storied this franchise is. ❤ ☘ 🏀
