I am down to the Final Four (I have 62 out of 66 slabbed by PSA/DNA) for a signed 1961 Fleer Basketball Signed Set. Currently #1 on PSA/DNA Registry.

I need:

#7 Carl Braun paying $750
#24 Phil Jordan paying $2500
#37 Guy Rodgers paying $750

Looking for signed cards slabbed by SGC, PSA/DNA, or with IMPECCABLE provenance.

Generous finders fees payed out that lead to a successful transaction.

Thank you, it has been quite a journey!

Peace, Mike

That is truly amazing. What a great set. I finished a signed 1969 Topps Basketball set and it is in my top 5 in terms of favorite autographed items I have.

Thanks for sharing! I can imagine there were a few toughies in the '69 set as well!

PSA just awarded this exact set of mine with their top 2018 Autograph Award!!

(The Impossible Dream) - 1961-62 Fleer Basketball - Best PSA/DNA Autograph Set of the Year
Autographed trading card sets are an entity all their own. To assemble such a grouping, one must be part collector and part historian. These hobbyists learn about each individual shown on a card, how long they played, when they retired, what they did after leaving the game and, in some cases, when they left the earth. Collectors tie their collection permanently to the athletes, knowing that each card was actually handled by the subject at some point along the journey. This is not only one of the greatest vintage basketball sets in the hobby, but it is also 95% autographed. A rarity indeed.



PS: Luckily they will consider "partial sets" as long as they are at 95% or higher completion. I am now down to needing only 3 cards:
#7 Carl Braun paying $750
#24 Phil Jordan paying $2500
#37 Guy Rodgers paying $750
