Graded EX-MT 6 by PSA. Beautiful example of Boston Celtics Hall of Famer Bob Cousy from the classic 1957-1958 Topps basketball series. This is Topps' first basketball set and the only one it issued in the 1950s. The set includes the rookie cards of all of the major stars of the era, and Cousy is one of the keys. The offered card boasts bright colors, a crisp image, strong corners, and centering toward the top left. Boldly printed reverse. 1957-1958 Topps basketball is well known for production-quality issues, making high-grade examples, especially of such a key card like Cousy, particularly scarce and desirable. This is a superb example of Cousy's rookie card and one that would be at home in a high-quality complete set, Hall of Fame, or important basketball-card collection. Opening Bid $500.
