Presented is a pair of key rookie cards from the 1957-1958 Topps basketball issue featuring Hall of Famers Bill Russell and Bob Cousy. Each card is graded and encapsulated by PSA. These two cards are not only important cards in general (as rookie cards and classic vintage Hall of Famers), but each is one of the key cards in the set. 1) #17 Bob Cousy Rookie: VG-EX 4, bright and clean, even wear on the corners, light surface wrinkle near the upper right corner, centered slightly to the top left. 2) #77 Bill Russell Rookie: EX-MT 6, bright and crisp, centered slightly to the top, light touches of wear to the corners. This is a very attractive pair of important rookie cards from this popular Topps basketball issue. The SMR value for just the Russell rookie in the assigned grade is $3,000. Total: 2 cards. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000+.
