(LOT 134)
1933 Sport Kings Nat Holman #3 (PSA NM/MT 8) NONE Graded Higher!

NONE BETTER!!!... Presented here is one of the toughest 1933 Goudey Sport Kings to find in high-grade, a spectacular PSA NM/MT 8 example of basketball legend Nat Holman. One of only 12 specimens at this pinnacle plateau, not a single PSA example has been graded higher, with this supreme cardboard marvel sharing the spotlight as the finest of its kind! Nicknamed "Mr. Basketball" by his adoring fan base, Nat Holman played for the original Pro-Basketball Celtics (not the current Boston Celtics), and is considered one of basketball's most important innovators. A great ball handler and accurate shooter, his legacy was secured as a 40-year head coach for the CCNY college (City College of NY), where he became the only coach ever to win an NCAA and NIT championship in the same season (1950).

A basketball Hall of Famer, his magnificent Sport Kings offering likewise depicts championship caliber via its brilliant aesthetics that have seemingly defied "Father Time", starting with the sparkling central image that emanates rich facial hues and his period style Celtic jersey. Four bright white borders frame the near-flawless baby-blue background, and the image reveals atypical near-perfect centering. Pinpoint corners, sharp edging and a super clean verso complete this "rare for the grade" offering that along with eleven other examples stands tall as the "best of the rest" on the illustrious PSA Pop Chart!
