Graded NM-MT+ 8.5 by PSA. Exceptional high-grade rookie card of Philadelphia Warriors Hall of Famer Wilt Chamberlain from the classic 1961-1962 Fleer basketball set. Chamberlain's rookie card is recognized as one of the classics of all basketball cards. Besides being his most popular card, this is the key to the set. This example has a deep red background, a crisp image of Chamberlain, strong corners, and excellent centering (far better than normally seen as this card is frequently encountered with centering issues). Clean reverse with bold black text. This is a tremendous example of Wilt Chamberlain's rookie card from one of the most significant basketball sets ever produced. Opening Bid $25,000.
