Tendered for your bidding pleasure is this outstanding 1969 Topps Basketball complete set. 1969 saw Topps-after an eleven year absence-return to issue cards of all the NBA hardwood stars. Taking a queue from their previous efforts in the 1964 Hockey as well as the 1965 Football release, Topps choose to issue the cards in the larger "Tallboy" style, quite possibly to even more greatly accentuate the rookie pasteboard of Lew Alcindor. The set presents at a top shelf appearance with the stars grading the following: 1 Chamberlain EX, 3 Russell NM, 10 Thurmond EX, 15 Hawkins EX/MT, 20 Havlicek NM+, 25 Alcindor VG/EX, 35 Baylor NM/MT, 40 Cunningham EX, 43 Bradley NM, 44 Wilkens NM/MT, 45 Lucas NM, 50 Robertson VG/EX, 55 Bing EX, 56 Unseld NM, 60 Reed EX, 80 Monroe EX, 90 West NM/MT, 98 Frazier EX, 99 Checklist VG The remainder of the commons grade the following: 15% NM/MT, 15% NM, 20% EX/MT, 30% EX, 20% lesser.
