    Love the KAREEM Abdul Jabbar. I asked him to sign mine that way and he refused. Good stuff.

    That is awesome. Cunningham in any condition is awesome. Gus Johnson is the Ultimate Card and you have it. Congratulations. The slabbed ones look amazing.

    Thanks Mike - it says "From" - he had signed all the cards that way at this event apparently. >>



    Super cool. I'm trying my darnest to get an address. I imagine if it were to actually get to him w/ 3 cards and $50 he'd sign them. Wouldn't chance that though.

    I was wondering about Lew Alcindor too. Gotta be worth a premium.

    Wonderful cards. Wish I had some of them I have 69 of them and once my Abdul Jabbar arrives from the Chicago Sun Times show it will be number 70. Anyone have a working Chet Walker address, I have 3 addresses. If anybody has any info on the newest HOFer Chet Walker. Send a pm thanks.
  • cardsnbeadscardsnbeads Posts: 870
    I know Art Williams lives in the San Diego area from an article I saw. I have never seen Luther Rackley tried him three times resulting in RTS from 2 and my card never returned from his work address. I would like to get Dick Barnett there is a Pennsylvania address floating around that isn't him.

    First time I've seen this thread. Absolutely fantastic job and good luck finishing the set image

    That is an awesome set! 1969 is easily my favorite basketaball set of all time. After i get done with my 1959 baseball set I would possibly like to try and complete the 1969 basketball set but I dont reaally know anything about basketball cards. Does anyone here know around how much it would cost to build the 1969 set in Excellent conidition if I bought each card one at a time or in small groups? And Im talking unsigned cards.

    Excellent Set so far airjoedan, You should upgrade Paul Silas who signs c/o the Charlotte Bobcats. Really awesome set. I have never seen anybody come that close to finishing the set.

    Were jerseys just like that or did they ask some of these guys to put on their jerseys backwards to show their name and number?

    << <i>Were jerseys just like that or did they ask some of these guys to put on their jerseys backwards to show their name and number? >>



    Trademark issues I believe - Topps didn't want to pay the royalties so if it had a team nickname on the front (like "Knicks") they had the guys turn the jersey around, so "Knicks" wasn't visible.

    awesome set! I'm very slowly picking up a few of these here and there and would like to start a set one day.

    Your Gus Johnson is spectacular, Joe! I think I may have a way to contact Luther Rackley. We'll see! If you get to 98/99 you may have to buy the $500 Wilt on eBay.

    Hate to say it, but the hard part is going to be getting all 99 of them to go back and sign the checklist, so that the set is complete.
    I am buying and trading for RC's of Wilt Chamberlain, George Mikan, Bill Russell, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, and Bob Cousy!
    Don't waste your time and fees listing on ebay before getting in touch me by PM or at gregmo32@aol.com !

  • basketballcollectorbasketballcollector Posts: 340 ✭✭✭
    FANTASTIC !!! As a vintage basketball collector, it is one of the most impressive projects that I've ever seen.
  • cardsnbeadscardsnbeads Posts: 870
    Great set, so far. I have 71/98 signed and of them are 14 of them slabbed. The 14 are hall of famers.

    That is a tough project. I am just going for the 1948 Bowman Yankees. There are 10 different ones. I only have 4 so far image

    Nice set. I just got 72. I bought an Elgin Baylor slabbed from Probstein. It is a great set.

    It looks like Lou mispelled his name, he signed it Kareem!!!!

    Does anyone know what one of these cards is worth if it was signed before he changed his name? I'm guessing these are ultra rare?
  • jay0791jay0791 Posts: 3,526 ✭✭✭✭
    Love that set. I can tell its a project of pure enthusiasm.

    It's one of my fav sets of all time in any sport.

    Nice set airjoedan. I have also been collecting this autographed set for years. I am down to 3: Gus Johnson,Ron Williams, and Luther Rackley. I have your 5, but no extras. I was wondering if you knew anywhere I might find these? I have tried Rackley at least a couple of times in the mail.
