If you have $5,000 to spend, what vintage basketball cards are you buying in the latest Collector Connection Auction?
To me, it seems a better investment to buy early '70s Topps stuff, even if...

I will say, in answering this question, it's kind of unnecessary for us to say "PSA 10" because...obviously we wouldn't think the most valuable card would be a '61 Fleer Wilt Chamberlain, PSA 5

What are "qualifiers"?

Also, I don't think they got 10s because of the condition, as much as the photo not being centered. Apparently that's the part of grading I was unaware of.
