Description
The Stilt stands tall!
1961 Fleer Wilt Chamberlain Rookie #8 PSA NM-MT 8.
Everything about him was huge--his height, his talent, his libido.
From his hundred-point game to the 20,000 notches on his bedpost,
Chamberlain rewrote the record books in his image, holding
seventy-two NBA superlatives to this day including most consecutive
seasons leading the league in scoring (7), most points in a single
season (4,029) and highest point average in a career (30.1). While
it's easy to credit Chamberlain's seven-foot two-inch height for
such matchless dominance, he was, in point of fact, one of the
greatest natural athletes in American sports history, boasting a
forty-eight inch vertical leap and such blazing foot speed that he
once beat Hall of Fame running back Jim Brown in a sprint. His
stamina was not confined to the bedroom, with his 45.8 minutes/game
career average another NBA-leading statistic.Our pre-auction estimate will appear stunningly conservative when we remind you that we have sold a Mint 9 example of this card for $348,000 back in January 2022. This one remains hot on the heels of that slightly superior example, with crisp registration, silky gloss, sharp corners and strong centering. A marvelous example at its PSA NM-MT 8 ranking.
