Graded MINT 9 by PSA. Of the 634 examples of this card that have been graded by the astute graders at PSA a mere 2% of all graded examples have graded MINT 9 with just a sole example having been graded at a higher level! KC Jones, Al Attles and West were Oscar’s only opponents who could dream of handling him physically. Oscar used his size with scorching results, backing smaller players down, finding his favorite spots 15 feet from the hoop, then turning around and shooting over whomever. The Big O mastered a deadly high-post game that hadn’t even been invented yet — like watching a Wild West duel where one guy pulls out a revolver and the other guy pulls out an Uzi. The offered card appears as if it was just pulled from it's wax pack confinement! Perfectly centered with deep bold emblazoned colors that seemingly illuminate the surface of this regal rookie card of the Big O! Each of the four corners appears like a perfect ninety degree angle that has acted like a repellant to any potential conflicts upon the offered cards integrity. The reverse is splendidly printed with no appearances of the wax that so commonly effects this card. A tremendous copy offered in superlative MINT 9 condition bordering on GEM MINT!
