Description: 1961 Fleer Basketball Wax Pack Oscar Robertson Top PSA 7 NM Featuring #36 Oscar Robertson rookie card on top, this pack of 1961 Fleer basketball is one of the finest examples encased in a PSA slab. Free of poke holes and stains and rich with bold color, crisp folds, and a perfect seal, the pack has been awarded a Near Mint 7 in the modern, PSA pack-grading era and stands head and shoulders above its equivalent and higher-grade counterparts. The 3rd best 1961 Fleer Basketball PSA graded pack in existence. (There are no PSA graded packs with Jerry West on the top or back. There are two packs with a Wilt base card on back with grades of PSA 6 & 7, respectively.)1 of only 66 PSA authenticated and graded 1961 Fleer Basketball packs. (Many believe the population to be significantly less than 66 due to pack-opening and box-filling.) Twenty-five years before its acclaimed 1986 basketball set with the iconic Michael Jordan Rookie card, Fleer produced its inaugural1961-62 Basketball series. The set is jam-packed with Hall of Famers and NBA legends. Of the 66 cards in the set, 45 contain players in the Hall of Fame and 19 are Rookie Cards. Should you be so bold as to open this rare treasure, it's difficult to overstate its potential. Only 103 cards of over 30,000 in the PSA registry have attained GEM MT 10 status. As difficult as it can be to find cards from the 1961 Fleer Basketball set in high grade, it is truly rare to find such a gorgeous unopened pack. At the time of this posting, PSA's Population Report showed a total of only 66 PSA Graded Packs. Many packs have been opened in recent years and it is likely that there are far fewer than 66 graded packs in existence. Given the prime condition of this pack, it is particularly thrilling to consider the high odds of discovering the Rookie Cards & Key Cards of iconic names such as: Wilt Chamberlain (R) (HOF) (PSA 9: $350,000+)Jerry West (R) (HOF) (PSA 9: $83,000+)Oscar Robertson (R) (HOF) (PSA 9: $75,000+)Elgin Baylor (R) (HOF) (PSA 9: $31,500+)Bill Russell (HOF) (PSA 9: $18,600+)Wilt Chamberlain In Action (HOF) (PSA 9: $15,000+)Bill Russell In Action (HOF) (PSA 9: $13,700+)Walt Bellamy (R) (HOF) (PSA 9: $6,500+)Elgin Baylor In Action (HOF) (PSA 9: $5,500+)Jerry West In Action (HOF) (PSA 9: $5,500+)Oscar Robertson In Action (HOF) (PSA 9: $4,700+) Will Consider Reasonable Offers.

We’ll be listing from a large and carefully curated collection of Vintage & Modern Baseball, Basketball, Football, Hockey, Garbage Pail Kids, Magic: The Gathering, Marvel, Pokémon, and Disney cards, etc. CONTENTS OF UNOPENED PACKS: - With the exception of the players visible on the front and/or back of a pack, there are no guarantees about the contents of any unopened material. Higher value packs have been authenticated and/or graded by the foremost industry experts from PSA & BBCE. Packs that have not been wrapped or graded by BBCE or PSA are being SOLD AS FACTORY SEALED. If you have any questions about the authenticity of any product being sold, please feel free to ask for additional photographs and/or information. ITEM(S) IN IMAGES:- Unless otherwise noted, the item(s) in the images are of the exact product that you will receive. Please be sure to review the high-resolution images. CARD CONDITION OF RAW/UNGRADED CARDS:- When assigning the condition of a card, we use the eBay card condition guidelines, which include i) Poor, ii) Very Good, iii) Excellent, and iv) Near Mint or Better. Please note, these four conditions (and standards) do not necessarily correspond directly with professional grading services. - When estimated grades are provided, they are being provided for evaluation purposes only. While the best efforts have been made to provide an accurate assessment of the condition of the cards, these estimates are not a guarantee of grades. Actual grades assigned by a professional grading service (PSA, SGC, etc.) may be lower or higher than the estimates that have been provided. - If there is an issue with the card that does not seem to show up in the scan, best efforts will be made to call them out in the 'Condition description' section of the listing. When the word 'Mint' is used in the listing title and/or description, it means that, in my opinion, the card has a very good chance on receiving a grade of 8 NM-MT, 9 Mint, or 10 Gem Mint from a reputable professional grading service like PSA. Again, this description is no guarantee of the actual grade that a card may receive and should be used for evaluation purposes only. SHIPPING & COMBINED SHIPPING:- We take great care to ensure that our collectibles arrive in the same condition that you purchase them. All of our shipments are insured, and we photograph/record the packaging of our high-end products. - When requested, we will do our combine shipping when multiple items are purchased. There is a $1.99 handling fee built into the shipping cost you see listed on each item. When shipping is combined, the total shipping cost will be equal to a) the actual cost of shipping the combined items via your preferred method; plus, b) a handling fee ($1.99 on the first item and $0.99 for each additional item). Typically, you will have the option to select eBay's Standard Envelope Shipping or USPS First Class Mail. - Please note, when we ship raw/ungraded cards via eBay's Standard Envelope Shipping Program, the cards will be placed in a new penny sleeve inside a new Card Saver I. The card(s) are then placed into a cardboard mail stiffener secured by painter's tape. Due to the weight and size requirements of the Standard Envelope program, we cannot combine more than three (3) cards into a Standard Envelope. We will not combine shipping using eBay's Standard Envelope Program when the combined value of the cards exceeds $25. You will have the option to have the cards shipped individually using the Standard Envelope or combine up to fifty (50) cards with a combined value of up to $500 via USPS First Class Mail.
