Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
Basketball · Los Angeles Lakers · Center
His key card is the 1969-70 Topps #25 rookie, printed as Lew Alcindor, which sells in a wide range depending on grade: low-grade copies trade in the hundreds, while only two PSA 10s are known, last auctioned near $240,000. Signed Alcindor-name rookies are the other big-money item, and the 1972 Topps #100 PSA 10 is the key later card. Market data is thin for most modern autos, and the newest sales for several cards are more than 90 days old.
