Graded EX+ 5.5 by PSA. The transformational Bill Russell is proudly pictured on his 1957-58 Topps Basketball #77 rookie card. With 11 NBA championships and countless accolades to his Hall of Fame resume, "The Secretary of Defense" stonewalls an opposing ballhandler on this cardboard cornerstone. The shortprint is amplified by bold surface colors and intense in-game imagery that is framed by barely touched corners, off-white edges and a clean "tape measure" reverse.
