Description
This is a classic 'Tallboy' vintage basketball card featuring Hall of Famer Hal Greer of the Philadelphia 76ers. The card features a vibrant blue oval background, Greer in his Philadelphia home jersey, and the four characteristic basketball player illustrations in the corners. The oversized dimensions (2-1/2" by 4-11/16") make this a standout piece of late 60s sports memorabilia.
Key Features
Hall of Fame (HOF) player, iconic 'Tallboy' design year, oversized vintage card stock.
Authenticity Indicators
Authenticity Confidence: High. The card shows correct 'Tallboy' dimensions, age-appropriate cardboard stock pulp, and the distinctive grainy lithography of 1969 Topps sets. Not a high-risk card for counterfeiting in this condition.
Flaws to Note
The top right corner shows significant rounding and laminate separation. There is a visible crease/stain on the top edge near the player name. Bottom edges show minor fraying. Surface appears to have light foxing or dirt consistent with its age.
Selling Guide
Where to Sell
eBay is the best platform for this specific card in raw condition. For a higher volume sell, COMC or vintage-focused Facebook groups like 'Vintage Basketball Card Collectors' would work well.
Selling Tips
Do not grade this card unless you are looking for protection only; the cost of grading will likely exceed the value added at a grade of 3. List as 'Vintage Tallboy' in the title. Use a rigid 'Tallboy' sized top loader for shipping to ensure it is not bent.
