Presented is an exceptional high-grade complete set of 1957-1958 Topps Basketball. This is Topps' first basketball set and the only basketball set Topps issued during the 1950s. The set includes the rookie card of Bill Russell as well as legends Bob Cousy Tom Heinsohn and Bob Pettit and stands as the most seminal trading card series ever produced for the sport. Each card is professionally graded and encapsulated by PSA. The set is also PSA registered. This is one of the strongest high-grade sets of this popular 1950's basketball issue we have ever offered.

The assembly of this complete set is impressive given the condition issues that so often plague cards from this series which are notoriously off-center and marred by print snow. This is a carefully assembled and very attractive complete set. It would be a superb addition to any world-class basketball-card collection. The total SMR value in the assigned grades is approximately $12500+.
