We got everything but footage of the 100pt game 😭

Wilt was one of the most prolific scorers in NBA history. But his rebounding was as, if not more, impressive. If you don’t believe me…check out his season averages! I’ve always liked getting these little pieces of art cards autographed. I got this one in person at the National many years ago before he passed away!

I’m still fascinated with players that are so athletic they can play multiple sports. I’m also fascinated by the history of players that are both player and coach. Players like Wilt, Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Pete Rose, and others have functioned both as managers with their team and also put themselves in the game as players on occasion. This is one card that highlights a unique piece of NBA history where Wilt Chamberlain was a player coach for a team that existed only briefly. I would love to get this in a PSA 10, or an autographed copy, but I’m pretty happy with the eye appeal of this one.

When I sent these in to grade I felt and still feel that the Wilt was the sharper card, yes it’s off centered but corners and edges look way cleaner than the Kareem, which is definitely more valuable with that grade bump. If the had both gotten the same grade I wouldn’t have been surprised but for there to be a whole grade difference was a bit shocking.
