Description
The rarity of 1968 Topps Test Basketball is such that many advanced hobbyists have never actually laid eyes on even a single card from this issue. They are nearly non-existent in the marketplace in any condition. Prior to the discovery of the offered complete set and singles, only 21 total cards had ever been graded by PSA with only a handful grading 7 or better. While small in quantity, this 22-card 1968 Topps Test Basketball set is packed with star power. The presence of each of the numerous marquis Hall of Famers in this set accounts for their most valuable card. Needless to say, most of the offered cards are the highest graded example. This is an unprecedented offering of the rarest Basketball set in the hobby. Every card, save one common, is graded PSA 7 or better. The breakdown is as follows: PSA 8 NM-MT: #4 Bill Russell, #5 John Havlicek, #13 Nate Thurmond, #21 Jerry Lucas. PSA 7 NM: #1 Wilt Chamberlain, #2 Hal Greer, #3 Chet Walker, #6 Cazzie Russell, #7 Willis Reed, #8 Bill Bradley, #10 Dave Bing, #14 Jim KIng, #17 Zelmo Beaty, #18 Elgin Baylor, #20 Jerry Sloan, #22 Oscar Robertson. PSA 8 (o/c) NM-MT: #11 Dave DeBusschure, #12 Earl Monroe, #15 Len Wilkins, #16 Bill Bridges, #19 Jerry West. PSA 6 EX-MT: #9 Odie Smith. It goes without saying that this set would dominate its category on PSA’s Set Registry.
