The 1957 Topps Bill Russell rookie card is one of the most sought-after issues of the basketball genre, but finding presentable specimens at the mid-grade level can be challenging with most exhibiting either woefully centering or an overload of unsightly stray print, or both. The featured card is not dead-centered but it's pretty impressive for the grade and the surface dust is relatively minimal, allowing the majesty of Russell's hug frame to take center stage. A very respectable mid-grade example of arguably the most popular basketball card amongst vintage collectors.
