Part of a 22-card set that was, according to conventional wisdom, never intended to be released by Topps, the 1968 Test basketball issue is quite rare and highly desirable today.  In 1968, Topps had no license to produce NBA cards, though the existence of this issue serves as evidence that they were at least considering it.  In the early 1990s, cards from the issue began to surface in the hobby, and just over 200 cards have been graded by PSA. 

Extraordinary high-grade card of Hall of Famer Jerry Sloan,a "true" rookie card that predates his 1970 Topps Card by two seasons.  Graded NM-MT 8, this is the highest-graded of just 13 assessed by PSA, with just two others at this grade level.  Sharp and well-centered, an absolutely outstanding specimen.
