BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! 1974-75 Topps Basketball Collection of 36 Vintage NBA Cards Including Calvin Murphy and Chet Walker
This is a collection of 36 vintage professional basketball cards from the 1974-75 Topps NBA set. The lot features a variety of veteran players, specialists, and team leader cards. Notable highlights include Hall of Famers Calvin Murphy (Rockets) and Chet Walker (Bulls), along with standout players such as Lou Hudson, Fred Brown, and Sam Lacey. The collection also includes the 76ers and Rockets Team Leaders cards and the 1973-74 Eastern Semi-Finals playoff card. The 1974-75 Topps design is iconic for its large, multi-colored block team lettering at the top and duotone or color-tinted photographic backgrounds. These cards are ungraded and are currently housed in transparent 9-pocket binder sleeves.
Condition report:
The cards are in ungraded, raw condition. Centering is variable throughout the collection; while several cards appear well-centered, others exhibit the common off-center printing characteristic of this era, notably the Mike Riordan and Cornell Warner cards. Corners range from sharp to slightly soft with minor touches of wear. Edges show occasional light whitening. The card surfaces present with bright, saturated colors and no major creases or significant surface damage are visible through the sleeves. The reverse sides are printed in blue and orange ink on gray cardstock and appear clean based on the visible sections.
