Graded NM-MT 8 by BVG. Exceptional high-grade rookie card of Hall of Famer Lew Alcindor (aka Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) from the classic 1969-1970 Topps set. Crisp and clean, with bright colors, flawless image, four square corners (with a tiny corner line at the upper left), and near-perfect centering. Jabbar is universally recognized as one of the greatest players in NBA history. Holder of numerous career records, Jabbar was elected to the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1995. The following year he was selected as one of the NBA’s 50 Greatest Players by a panel of experts. A superb example of one of basketball-card collecting's most iconic cards. Reserve $1,000.
