Great video. Funny about Baylor and Worthy kinda being forgotten behind Wilt, West, Kareem and Magic, but just to show how great they were, all 6 were named to the NBA top 50 team of all time. That's some great talent.
Jerry Buss went and got the best centers over the years. Wilt Chamberlain, Kareem and Shaq in that order. Fun fact. I met Wilt at a tennis tournament in Miami. Huge man. Shook his hand (kinda)
Was looking forward to this one, great list, David. Looking at the just missed, I actually think you had the right exact 12 guys. Also, really great trivia and nuggets, as always! My collection is sorely lacking a lot of these guys, unfortunately. Now if I can just take a little of this budget and spend it on some singles instead of all the darn Wemby and Stroud retail, I might be able to remedy this, but don’t you hold your breath! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, this year has been tough on those wanting old stuff -- Elly, Wemby, Stroud, Connor Bedard -- we're burning up our budget! It's been a great year for rookies, for sure. Thanks for commenting, Scott!
Great video and awesome picks for the Dandy Dozen Mr David Gonos. I thought Star card company was producing cards from 81-82 Thu 85-86. I might be wrong about that. Have a good Tuesday and ✌️ Mr David Gonos.
Thanks Robert -- yesss, Star did produce cards, but they only distributed them in team packs, so it wasn't like you'd buy a pack and NOT know who you'd get out of it. They're just not considered the same as regular issued cards in regular packs IMO.
It's hard to imagine the Honus Wagner T206 card of basketball doesn't even get a mention 🤔 The 1948 Bowman George Mikan rookie card is THE card in vintage basketball 🏀
Yeah, that’s not what this is. This is a video about which players the average collector should collect. 99.9% of people can’t afford Wagner. Mikan had the one card - this is for collectable players that have several cards to choose from. Watch the video and it explains how I did the breakdown.
Could be the wrong term. The non-base cards. They have sayings like, "Oscar passes around the defense." They are more affordable. The Robertson one includes Bill Russell.
@@davidbrasfield6720 Ahhh yes, those are great deals -- that's the only Dr. J rookie card I own from that '72 set, his All-Star card! Can't afford the big boy. Gonna do the same with Bill Russell at some point!
Great video!
Thanks, Ben! Much appreciated!
great list of vintage basketball cards david.
Thanks for watching and commenting, Ray!
Keep up with the great videos
Thanks, will do!
Gail Goodrich was my favorite growing up

Oh wow, that’s a great point! Far fewer teams in the ‘60s, too. Altho, a lot more teams in Worthy’s day. Thanks, Mike!

Good point! He got the best centers! I wonder if he’d work on getting Jokic these days somehow!

awesome list for me i have to add Chocolate Thunder Darryl Dawkins
Hahaha good dunker, mediocre player, but I remember the posters back in the day!
I believe he said he was from LoveTron. Hahaha
@@DavidGonos but he was one of the 1st high schoolersto make the jump. yes he was crazy but so were the 70's he is iconic to his time
@@eddywil very true!

Now I know why the Knicks are cursed.
Hahaha why is that?
Baylor, west, robertson, etc have two cards in the '61 set. The inserts are more affordable.
Thanks for watching and commenting! The inserts?
