My 2009 Upper Deck Dual Materials Card numbered to 150 features Jerry West and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. It showcases jersey relics from both players, and the details of the different materials used for each relic show great attention to craftsmanship by Upper Deck. Having two of the greatest Lakers ever on one card makes this card truly special and one of my favorites in my collection. It’s a timeless piece that celebrates Lakers history, too bad they never played as teammates because they would have caused some serious problems for the NBA at that time.

It’s Thursday and time pull out some old timers. Thought Kareem in year 1 with Lakers was fitting. The ‘75 topps set has great in game photos including this one with Kareem.

This is the last Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in person autograph. I’ll post for today. This one does not have the legacy that the Star Co. cards have however, the purple paint pen with the holofoil on this card just really pops! The purple paint pen with the yellow jersey, really brings out the purple and gold of the Lakers uniform. I just really liked how this one looked in the person.

Here’s another great IP on-card vintage Star Co. autographed of the Captain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Kids these days forget about how dominant of a force he was in the 70’s and 80’s!
