Thomas “Satch” Sanders was one of the great defensive forwards in basketball. A First Team All-America at NYU Satch adapted to his new surroundings with the Boston Celtics by sacrificing his offensive skill set to contribute on the defensive end. Night after night Celtics coach Red Auerbach assigned Sanders the unenviable task of stopping the opponent’s top offensive threat. Satch handled the dirty work guarding the likes of Pettit DeBusschere and Baylor. The eight-time world champion finished his playing career in 1973 after 13 professional seasons all with the Boston Celtics. Sanders was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame as part of the 2011 class.
This example of Tom “Satch” Sanders’s 1969 Topps #72 card is one of only 12 examples graded MINT 9 by PSA with none graded higher. It features exceptional quality including four razor sharp corners near perfect centering and problem free surfaces all of which are to be expected for a card at this grade level.
