Collection of eighty-three cards (eight different) of Hall of Famer Bill Bradley, highlighted by twenty-two examples of his rookie card (1969-1970 Topps), each issued by Topps between 1969 and 1976. Seven cards have been professionally graded and encapsulated by SGC (submitted by REA). 1) 1969-1970 Topps (22 cards): SGC NM/MT 8, two Ex-Mt, seven Ex, five Vg-Ex, three Vg, and four lesser (including two with a slight trim and one with color added). 2) 1970-1971 Topps (17 cards): SGC MINT 9, NM/MT+ 8.5, NM/MT 8, six Ex, four Vg-Ex, three Vg, and one with a slight trim. 3) 1971-1972 Topps (6 cards): SGC NM/MT 8, Nr/Mt, two Ex, and two Vg+. 4) 1972-1973 Topps (9 cards): SGC NM/MT 8, three Ex-Mt, Ex, Vg-Ex, Gd, and two with a slight trim. 5) 1973-1974 Topps (12 cards): three Ex-Mt, four Ex, three Vg-Ex, Vg, and Gd. 6) 1974-1975 Topps (6 cards): two Nr/Mt, three Ex-Mt, and Vg-Ex. 7) 1975-1976 Topps (4 cards): SGC NM 7, Ex-Mt, and two Ex. 8) 1976-1977 Topps (7 cards): All display pressed corners from one-time storage in screwdown holders, otherwise three Nr/Mt, two Ex-Mt, Vg-Ex, and Vg. This is a very attractive mostly high-grade group of cards from a variety of different issues depicting one of basketball's most popular stars, Hall of Famer Bill Bradley, and would serve as a great foundation for, or addition to, any comprehensive Bradley collection. The equivalent SMR value for just the seven SGC-graded cards is $548. Total: 83 cards. Reserve $300. Estimate $500+.
