1933 Sport Kings #3 Nat Holman (Basketball) PSA 8 NM-MT - Highest PSA Example!
MR. BASKETBALL!!! The finest of its kind, this extraordinary PSA 8 NM-MT 1933 Sport Kings #3 Nat Holman just happens to stand at the top of the PSA Pop Chart along with only twelve other examples! Long before the likes of Mikan, Chamberlain, Russell, Robertson, Jabbar, Jordan, and James took to the hardwood floor, there was Nat Holman, who was a member of the original basketball Celtics (not the Boston Celtics we currently know). Nicknamed "Mr. Basketball" by his adoring fan base, Nat Holman is considered one of basketball's most significant innovative playmakers via his superb passing skillset and unequivocal leadership qualities. An esteemed member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, he is the only coach to lead his team to NCAA and National Invitation Tournament (NIT) championships in the same season.

Likewise, and as a grand testament to Holman's iconic legacy, this PSA 8 masterpiece depicts championship aesthetics, sufficing as a true cardboard treasure for all Sport Kings enthusiasts. This subject rarely surfaces in high grade, with this exact same card selling for $48K+ in Memory Lane's January 2023 auction. Regarding its breathtaking eye-appeal, stealing the show is the extraordinary powder blue background that encompasses the classic Holman image. Excellent centering reveals the slightest trace of partiality towards the right edge between four super-clean borders. Razor-sharp corners, crystal-clear clarity, and a bold green Holman bio on the stellar verso complete this magnificent keepsake that proudly boasts a best of the best PSA Pop Chart standing!
