Quartet of original unopened rack packs from the 1973-1974 Topps Basketball set. Each pack contains fifty-four cards, for a total of 216 cards. One pack is highlighted by Hall of Fame rookie card #135 Bob McAdoo (centered entirely to the top) at the top of the right panel with another Hall of Famer, #20 John Havlicek, at the top of the middle panel. The second pack features Hall of Famer #82 Bill Bradley at the top of the middle panel. The third pack features Hall of Famer #20 John Havlicek at the top of the middle panel. The fourth pack features Hall of Famer #125 Jerry Lucas at the top of the middle panel. The 1973-1974 Topps set is loaded with other stars and Hall of Famers like Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Julius Erving, among others. While there are no guarantees with reference to grading unopened material, it is possible that ultra-high-grade examples of these stars and other top players of the day could be inside. Each pack is bright and crisp, with normal crimping along the plastic edges. A price sticker is affixed to three of the packs. Each pack would make an excellent addition to any pack collection or companion to any complete 1973-1974 Topps basketball set. Total: 4 packs. Reserve $400. Estimate (open).
