(LOT 129)
Outstanding 1961 Fleer 66-Subject Basketball Set – 100% Complete & ALL PSA Graded - #19 on the PSA Set Registry w/a 7.62 Weighted G.P.A!

GRADED SET!!!... Most collectors would agree that the four most iconic basketball sets are the 1948 Bowman, 1957 Topps, 1961 Fleer and 1986 Topps compilations. Loaded with a myriad of basketball's greatest Hall of Famers and accompanying rookie cards, enthusiasts actively pursue completing all four of these landmark gatherings. Presented here just happens to be one of those legendary sets, a magnificent 66-subject and 100% complete 1961 Fleer offering that stands as the 19th finest set on the PSA Registry via its sensational 7.62 Weighted G.P.A! If you consider the seemingly infinite laundry list of immortal Hall of Fame and rookie card subjects included in this 66-card masterpiece, it arguably suffices as the pinnacle of all basketball sets.

An incredible 39 of the 66 subjects (59%) have been enshrined in the Hall of Fame, with the 19 rookie cards including 11 HOF players (including inaugural cards for the iconic Wilt Chamberlain, Oscar Robertson, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor and Lenny Wilkins)! Another highly popular angle of the 1961 Fleer set is the 22 "In Action" cards (Checklist #'s 45-66) that includes 17 HOFs with most of those subjects additional issues of the legendary stars included from checklist #'s 1-45. Imagine owning multiple cards of Chamberlain, Russell, Cousy, West, Baylor, Robertson and so many more stars that paved the way for shaping the National Basketball Association into one of America's favorite pastimes.

A majority of the cards were selectively "cherry picked" by our esteemed consignor, with the following breakdown of the PSA Grades: 1 – PSA Mint 9; 1 – PSA Mint 9 (PD); 2 – PSA NM/MT+ 8.5's; 51 - PSA NM/MT 8's; 1 – PSA NM/MT 8 (OC); 9 – PSA NM 7's; 1 – PSA EX/MT+ 6.5.

One of the most hallowed sports compilations in our illustrious hobby, its sheer existence is a virtual "Who's Who" to the National Basketball Hall of Fame and our utmost compliments to the consignor who spent an extended period of time to compile an abundance of cards exhibiting sparkling/bright images, relatively clean surfaces, and sharp corners.
