Description
1957 Topps Bill Russell #77 PSA NM-MT 8.
Best-In-Class Expert Analysis/Summary:
When it comes to production quality, the 1957 Topps basketball set represents one of the greatest challenges of any sport in the vintage card market. From a technical grading standpoint, even some of the finest known copies in the hobby suffer in the eye appeal category. Here, considering the obstacles associated with the issue, the Russell rookie is about as problem-free as a collector could hope for. The registration, which is often poor, and the minimal print defects, which can range from pesky "fish eyes" to "snow," make this card an outlier. As a result, this well-centered example provides the viewer with a visual of near-maximum beauty for its class.
