The 1950 Mikan is a great piece IMO.

GREAT THREAD! As a vintage basketball collector this is an interesting point made - I do agree that there is a great deal of affordable vintage basketball - but also interesting how expensive some of the oddball vintage cards can get. You have Khan’s Jerry West and Oscar Robertson - Scott’s Potato Chips…. Bread for Health and Bread for Energy and Royal Desserts. Or you have vintage basketball that is so rare it’s nearly impossible to find: Bell Brand Lakers, Examiner Lakers, Menko Mikan, Scott’s Mikan, Auerbach Safe-T-Cards…
Very interesting thread!

I am a long time collector of basketball cards, memorabilia, publications, and autographs. The modern sports card boom at the beginning of the pandemic has trickled into vintage basketball cards somewhat and historic basketball memorabilia (like this 1966 NCAA finals ticket stub Texas Western vs Kentucky (Glory Road movie) ticket stub) have started to get very desirable and, as a result very expensive.

Great cards, guys.
Valuation is all about demand....I wish it had to do with rarity... .

I think it is ironic that so many of the pictures of items posted in this thread about pre 1950 basketball items are from 1950 and later. Say the words vintage basketball and the majority of people think Dr.J or Wilt or Cousey or even Miken. Now Miken played about half his pro career before 1950 and half after. But there are many more Miken items post 1950 than before 1950. So addressing the OP very few people have interest in the Amateur and pro leauges not associated with the NBA. So that is why demand is so thin. Combined with how few items survived and it is difficult to build a broad based hobby like that around baseball. Fact is Baseball cards have been a pursuit of Boys ( of all ages) since the 1880's basketball cards could not get a steady hold until 1986.
Below are 2 type 1 photos of 1926 Clevland Rosenblum's Stars Joe Lapchick and Pete Barry. More famous for their exploits as Original Celtics. |

Part of the issue is that the collegiate game was so important before and right after WWII, far more than the pros. Not a lot of stuff to commemorate those teams and players. My father was a huge fan as a teenager and was thrilled years ago to meet St. Johns and NIT legend Harry Boykoff at a car wash here in L.A. When he told me the name I had to look him up.
