his is the only recognized rookie card of the NBA's biggest winner. This is also the key to the 1957 Topps set, one of the toughest and most important basketball issues ever produced. In 13 seasons with the Boston Celtics, Bill Russell won 11 championships. Russell's focus on defense changed the way fans defined star players, making defensive play an art. While Russell did lead the league in rebounding four times, averaged 22.5 rebounds per game during his career and 15.1 points per game, his impact cannot be measured by statistics alone. This 12-time All-Star was awarded the MVP five times and was one of the finest shot blockers in NBA history. As an amateur, Russell won two NCAA titles and even won a Gold Medal during the 1956 Olympics. This legendary big man was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1975.

Offered here is an ultra rare offering in the form of Russell's coveted rookie card, handsomely signed by the legendary big man on front side in blue felt tip pen. The signature is so well executed that Russell's autograph has received the coveted grade of GEM MINT 10! Fully authenticated, graded and encapsulated by PSA/DNA.
