EXALTED ALCINDOR ROOKIE!!!

A grand testament to his storied career, this world-class marvel was issued before Lew Alcindor changed his name to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, residing as the perfect cardboard keepsake from his remarkable career. Alcindor's 38,387 points (24.6 PPG) was recently bested by superstar LeBron James, with his 17,440 rebounds (11.2 RPG) and 3,189 blocked shots (2.5 BPG) both ranking #3 in NBA history. He played in a record 19 All-Star games, won six MVP Awards and claimed six NBA titles, two of which he was voted the NBA Finals MVP.

Tantamount to Abdul-Jabbar's incredible playing prowess is this breathtaking memento's pack-fresh attributes, commencing with the crystal-clear pose portraying Alcindor in a classic shooting position within a baby blue oval. Bright colors, strong square corners, a snow-white setting, near-perfect centering, and immaculate surfaces all join forces to justify the lofty assessment. Truly residing as one of the most significant basketball cards on the planet, it serves as a sheer reminder of Kareem's utmost standing as one of the NBA's all-time best. Proudly residing alongside other sensational rookie card peers such as the 1948 Bowman Mikan, 1957 Topps Russell, 1961 Fleer Chamberlain, and 1986 Fleer Jordan, its unequivocal standing is undisputed amongst the hobby's premier enthusiasts!
