1961 Fleer Jerry West Rookie #43 PSA Mint 9. It's difficult
to know how much of Jerry West's enormous success was due to
natural ability, and how much could be credited to his unbreakable
will to win, since the latter was present in such tremendous supply
that the natural balance was particularly skewed. Certainly West
owned one of the prettiest (and most effective) jump shots in the
game, but his peerless work ethic was the attribute that earned him
the respect of teammates and opponents alike, and the sole
distinction, in 1969, of being named the only NBA Finals MVP
representing a losing team. Even in the midst of fellow legends
from Elgin Baylor to Gail Goodrich to Wilt Chamberlain, it was West
who commanded a leadership role on the court, whose penchant for
last-second heroics earned him the nickname "Mr. Clutch."The fourteen-time All-Star has earned every conceivable form of immortality in his sport, most notably in Springfield bronze and the silhouette used for the logo of the National Basketball Association, so his rookie card is an essential component of any serious collection. And this particular representation is virtually as good as it gets, outperformed by only three of nearly 1,500 examples submitted for PSA grading. Bold colors, silky gloss, sharp corners and solid centering pave the path to the upper reaches of the population report.
