A ELVIN HAYES from the 1971 TOPPS set, card #120. This is a great addition to any HOUSTON ROCKETS collection.
Graded by Mint Condition: 7
This vintage card is in superb physical condition, featuring sharp corners and clean surfaces that are rarely seen for this set. However, the overall grade is primarily limited by the significant vertical centering shift toward the top edge on both the front and back.

Surface: 10 / 10
