Complete set of 1996-1997 Topps Chrome Refractor Basketball on two 110-card uncut final-production sheets for a total of 220 cards in uncut-sheet form. This set, which is considered a modern classic, features the rookie cards of some of the greatest players of the modern era, including Kobe Bryant, Steve Nash, Allen Iverson, and Ray Allen. These sheets are composed of base-set refractors. The offered sheets, which are arranged in ten rows of eleven cards, are ideal for display as they maintain the same vivid colors as intended more than twenty-five years ago. These sheets have survived in exceptional condition, with only minor imperfections mostly relegated to the edges, including tiny creases and minor edge and corner wear, all of which are common when dealing with these large uncut sheets. The protective paper overlay from the printer is still attached to each sheet and is easily folded over to view the sheets. The sheets have an overall Near Mint appearance and would serve as terrific companion pieces to any complete 1996-1997 Topps Chrome Basketball or additions to any advanced basketball or uncut-sheet collection. Dimensions: each 28 x 40 inches. Total: 2 sheets. The size/weight of this item requires that there will be an additional shipping charge for this lot. Reserve $1,000.
