Description
One of the greatest rookie classes in NBA history!
1996 Topps Chrome Basketball Refractors PSA-Graded Complete Set
(220). This landmark release features a star-studded rookie
class, including Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Steve Nash, Ray Allen
and Stephon Marbury, each with their coveted Refractor parallels.
Revered for its sleek design and limited print run, the 1996 Topps
Chrome Refractor set marked the debut of one of the most iconic
products in modern basketball card history. Collectors prize this
set for its visual appeal, condition sensitivity, and its
concentration of Hall of Fame talent. It's impossible to overstate
the difficulty in assembling a complete set of 220 fully graded
insert cards, particularly when remembering that these cards
appeared in only one out of every twelve retail packs. The
spectacular condition further elevates and distinguishes this
remarkable offering.The completion of this marvelous set of inserts took 27 years of painstaking effort by our consignor. Beyond finding the 31 Hoops Hall of Famers included in the collection, most of that time was spent tracking down the rare and elusive commons that finish the set. The PSA Set Registry lists only two fully graded refractor sets, which underscores the near impossibility of this herculean accomplishment. Therefore, this offering stands as one of the finest and most complete examples of one of the most iconic basketball sets ever produced.

Auction Type
Signature Internet Extended Bid: These Auctions are presented via catalog and online. Bidding is taken through our website or via phone. There are two phases of bidding during this type of auction: 1) Normal bidding: Bids are taken up until 10 PM CT the night the auction closes. 2) 30 Minute Ending: On a lot-by-lot basis, starting at 10:00 PM CT, any person who has bid on the lot previously may continue to bid on that lot until there are no more bids for 30 minutes. For example, if you bid on a lot during Normal Bidding, you could participate during Extended Bidding for that lot, but not on lots you did not bid on previously. If a bid was placed at 10:15, the new end time for that lot would become 10:45. If no other bids were placed before 10:45, the lot would close. If you are the high bidder on a lot, changing your bid will not extend the bidding during the 30 Minute Ending phase (only a bid from another bidder will extend bidding). If you are the only bidder at 10 PM, you will automatically win the lot at 10:30. Important: After normal bidding ends, you must be signed-on to the Heritage site to see the bidding option on lots where you qualify for extended bidding and you must be on an individual lot page to reflect the accurate time remaining for that particular lot.
