1969 Topps Basketball Complete Set with Nine PSA-Graded
The Topps Company enjoyed a triumphant return to the NBA after a 22-year absence with the 99-card 1969 Topps Basketball set of oversized issues (2-1/2" by 4-11/16"). Offered here is a 1969 Topps Basketball ungraded complete set with nine PSA-graded examples including: PSA 8: 25 Alcindor (OC) & 60 Reed; PSA 7: 43 Bradley & 98 Frazier; PSA 6: 20 Havlicek, 35 Baylor, 50 Robertson & 90 West; and PSA 5: 1 Chamberlain.

Overall, the offered set is very fresh-looking, showing a relatively unhandled appearance with 25% displaying NM, 45% EX-MT and the remainder being slightly lesser, mainly due to centering issues. Key anchoring cards and grades include #s: 2 Goodrich (VG surface crease), 10 Thurmond (EX-MT), 15 Hawkins (NM), 40 Cunningham (NM off-cut), 44 Wilkens (NM), 45 Lucas (EX-MT), 55 Bing (NM), 56 Unseld (EX-MT), 75 Hayes (NM), 80 Monroe (NM), 84 Greer (EX-MT), 85 DeBusschere (NM OC) and 99 Checklist (EX). Current estimated value of just the graded cards is over $2,800.
