1970 Topps Pete Maravich Rookie #123 PSA Mint 9 - Two Higher! The 1970 Topps Pete Maravich rookie card, #123, is one of the most iconic and sought-after basketball cards in the hobby, marking the debut of one of the most exciting and revolutionary players in NBA history. Pete Maravich, known for his incredible ball-handling, scoring ability, and flair, captivated fans with his unique style of play that paved the way for modern basketball. "Pistol Pete" was a five-time NBA All-Star and Hall of Famer, making this rookie card a must-have for any serious collector.

This card is from the classic 1970 Topps set, known for its larger "tallboy" design, which adds a special appeal but also presents challenges in maintaining high-grade examples due to its susceptibility to wear. This card is in exceptional condition, with sharp corners, clean edges, and vibrant colors, making it one of the finest examples in existence. The centering and overall eye appeal are near-perfect, and with only two graded higher, this card is incredibly rare.

As the official rookie card of Pete Maravich, this card holds tremendous historical significance and is a true gem in the world of vintage basketball card collecting. Its combination of rarity, pristine condition, and connection to one of the game's most beloved players makes it a centerpiece for any collection. Graded PSA Mint 9. One of eighty-seven graded Mint with two higher.
