The short-printed rookie card of Bill Russell is the key in the celebrated 1957 Topps production and it is one of the most important basketball cards ever made. Cards from this issue are typically affected by frustrating production faults including woeful print quality and obtrusive "snow" that disrupts aesthetics. None of those unfortunate generalities are seen on the offered specimen. While the offered card presents a NM-MT pack-fresh appearance we presume it is without a numerical grade due to trimming at top and bottom. Nonetheless it is the perfect medium for the addition of the subjects autograph and notation. Russell added his signature to the card in silver sharpie with his notation “11x NBA Champ” rating 8/10. A special collectible that celebrates the most successful career in basketball history. Encapsulated as “AUTHENTIC” by PSA/DNA.
