Recent Sales
Raw copies consistently sell for $10-$20 on eBay. PSA 10 copies of the 2011 Topps base set often command a premium due to the set's popularity and the 1971-72 Topps design homage.
Condition Details
The card appears to be in excellent condition within the binder. Centering looks slightly shifted to the left (approx 60/40). Surface looks clean with the standard gloss. Corners and edges appear sharp through the plastic sleeve.
Grading Recommendation
Highly Recommended if aiming for a PSA 10. This card uses the iconic 1971-72 Topps design and features one of the greatest players of all time. High-grade modern Topps basketball (post-2010 but before they lost the license) is highly collectible.
Card Description
The card features Kareem during his tenure with the Milwaukee Bucks, wearing his home white #33 jersey. The design is a 'Heritage' style throwback to the 1971-72 Topps set, featuring a large vertical 'BUCKS' text block on the left and a distinctive arched border around the player photo.
Notable Features
Features a retro design from the 1971-72 Topps set. Card #1 in the set, which is historically a significant slot for major stars. Contains the Milwaukee Bucks logo and 'KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR' in the classic font.
Authentication Notes
Authentic 2011 Topps product. The print quality, stock thickness, and specific 'Topps' logo font are consistent with the 2011-12 production era. No visible signs of reproduction.
