George Mikan's Bowman rookie can be called the most valuable basketball card of all, with midgrade examples reaching upwards of $5,000. For those seeking key rookie cards at a different level, a far more affordable solution is the 1948-49 Exhibits issue. This postcard-sized card featuring a full body image of the Minneapolis center, leaping well above the competition, as he did year after year. Graded SGC VG 3 with touches of corner wear, all consistent with the grade, and clean surfaces. An accessible and affordable alternative to its Bowman cousin.
