The 1969-1970 Topps Basketball series was a triumphant return for the Pennsylvania company following a twelve-year hiatus. Topps made up for lost time by releasing the first cards of countless established NBA legends and numerous key rookies in one shot. The offered 1969-1970 Topps Basketball complete set of (99) cards is further bolstered by an amassment of (95) additional duplicates. These razor-sharp “tall boys” are impressive, with snow-white edges and corners along with sparkling clean surfaces and reverses. The aesthetic appeal of this selection is undeniable and boasts an average grade of (EX-MT) with some better and only a few lesser. Highlights include #1 Chamberlain (EX/EX-MT), (2) #2 Goodrich RC (both EX-MT), (2) #10 Thurmond RC (EX-MT, EX/EX-MT), (2) #20 Havlicek (EX-MT, GD, miscut), (2) #25 Alcindor RC (EX-MT, EX), (3) #35 Baylor ((2) EX-MT, EX/EX-MT), (3) #43 Bradley RC (NM, EX-MT, EX), (3) #50 Robertson ((2) NM, EX/EX-MT), (3) #55 Bing RC ((2) NM, EX-MT), #60 Reed RC (EX/EX-MT), #75 Hayes RC (NM), #80 Monroe RC (NM), (3) #90 West (NM, EX-MT, GD), #98 Frazier RC (EX-MT) and (2) #99 Checklist (EX, GD, one marked).
