Would love to see other members' vintage basketball collections. High end and low end are more than welcome there are no discrepancies!!

I'll start off!

JBrules · November 25, 2018 7:10PM

Always like to see some vintage basketball. Here are a couple of mine. One high-grade and a mid-grade.

Kid4hof03 · November 25, 2018 7:13PM

I love hoops! Especially 70's, here are a few of my favorites

Gotta get me one of those '72 Julius Eeeeeeeeeerviiiiings. Many fond memories of watching him at the Spectrum and hearing Zink call his name.

Kid4hof03 · November 25, 2018 8:54PM

A few of my favorite oddballs

Some beauties in here already!!

amp0909 · November 25, 2018 9:44PM

Here's my pride and joy. Had this for awhile. Any thoughts about a possible bumb or am I just plain crazy?

vintagefun · November 25, 2018 10:41PM

Great stuff! Love the odd balls. I had some of the RC and Pepsi stuff as a kid.

Here’s my contribution.

BriYo79 · November 26, 2018 1:43AM

Beautiful cards so far. What are we considering vintage here?

slum22 · November 26, 2018 1:47AM

Great cards so far. Thanks for starting this thread OP. I love basketball cards. This card marked my return to vintage collecting. Here is a 1957 HOF RC.

slum22 · November 26, 2018 1:49AM

After selling my 1961 set a while back, here is the first card I got back. Although it is 1grade lower than the one I sold I am still pretty happy with the new one.

Well, it's 2018

So let's say 30 yr back? Puts it at 1988.

Sad to say that.

Makes me feel older lmao. Ugh.

Here's a good one.

Man...nice stuff!!

I think my PSA 4 looks better than your PSA 7?

ReggieCleveland · November 26, 2018 1:44PM

Abe taunting me with his '70s rookies. Great stuff, everybody!

Sportscards1086 · November 27, 2018 12:09PM

Nice "little" RC

Just picked this up in a trade.

1971 Celtics team set #1 on the registry

BPorter26 · November 28, 2018 6:09AM

I absolutely love this page. I truly believe vintage basketball is very underrated in the hobby. There's a lot of good looking cards so far. Here's a few of mine

The Wilt is my newly added basketball card in which I purchased it at the National this summer.

Awesome and very bad ass at the same time.

miwlvrn · November 28, 2018 8:02AM

It's clear throughout many of my posts on the CU board that I enjoy finding items most others haven't discovered yet. Here is one of my vintage basketball HOF rookies, 1952 Chocolat L'Aiglon - Reece "Goose" Tatum of the Harlem Globetrotters (it is not his first year playing, but it is his first card).

Kid4hof03 · November 28, 2018 9:47AM

That Tatum is great! Nice find!

Thanks! Here is the back:

Largentcollector · November 28, 2018 10:08AM

I have sold almost of my basketball, I still have a few left though.

UFFDAH · November 28, 2018 10:18AM

One of my favorite cards from my collection

georgebailey2 · November 28, 2018 10:27AM

Appears as though Topps only had the player's association license 69-71.

Kid4hof03 · November 28, 2018 3:07PM

There is some great stuff in this thread!

I got this Malone rookie yesterday as a birthday present from my wife and sons
I just saw the stain on the scan, looks like it's time to clean my scanner!

ssdawg77 · November 28, 2018 4:09PM

Here is a Jordan pulled from a CU group rip several years back. It graded an 8.5 but I can't find the graded scan. I ended up selling thinking I would use the funds toward a 9 but still haven't to this day. <-- I should kick myself for not doing it then.

dan89 · November 28, 2018 6:06PM

I miss my 57 Cousy 8. Uffdah that 8.5 is ridiculously nice. Did we decide what vintage basketball is . Same as baseball. A couple of my favorites . Yes, that is the 86 Fleer whole set in 9. Vintage ???? Not sure. ....

Makes me feel older now.

Those 76's are sweet. That 64 Kahn's West is awesome. Great looking card. Speaking of 76's here is my one and only 76.

JBrules · November 29, 2018 8:47PM

A few of my favorite Alcindor/Jabbar cards.

Kid4hof03 · November 29, 2018 9:03PM

Your Kareem's are outstanding!

totally agree with you - basketball is undervalued. The sport is getting more popular globally so interest should continue to grow. NBA greats are far below MLB greats ( stock up on Chamberlain, Jabbar, Russell, West, Robertson, Magic, Bird, Jordan, 86 Fleer Rookies, Erving, Cousy, etc., should continue to move up as more collectors enter the hobby, plus far less produced than baseball)

Basketball certainly has room to grow and you have summed it up pretty well. I am glad to have have landed a couple of key rookie cards (Chamberlain and Robertson) at a reasonable price several years ago. Also just landed a couple of more of the "Big O". The Robertson at a POP 50 for 1973 and POP 46 for the 74 are hard to find in high grade very happy to add these two now only need the 71 to complete my Robertson run.

Kid4hof03 · November 30, 2018 8:03PM

More great cards. The Robertson's are really strong.

The centering on your Wilt is off the charts. Not sure I have seen a Wilt rookie with better centering. Great looking card.

Stone193 · November 30, 2018 8:30PM

Not a Bkb collector but do have a few older cards - posted before - picked up from Rotman Auctions for 30 bucks.

Mike what year did you pick it up? Nice ROI on that card.

Those cards are nice! I have them, but at the PSA 8 grade, still somewhat low. My bucket list: 1961 Fleer Chamberlain, Robertson, West, & Baylor (I have their IA cards). Have a nice run of Abdul Jabbar except for 1975 Topps, and need a few more 1986 Fleer HOF Rookies at PSA 9 grade.

Kid4hof03 · December 1, 2018 6:46AM

Wow, Mike, that Baylor is beautiful!
