The 1971-72 Topps Basketball checklist saw a big expansion over previous years. The reason? The ABA joined the NBA for the set. It may lack a marquee rookie or two, but the memorable design stands out as one of Topps’ best of the decade for any sport.
1971-72 Topps Basketball Checklist Details
A total of 233 cards make up 1971-72 Topps Basketball. While the rival leagues are both present, they are neatly divided. NBA players make up the majority of the set, covering the first 144 cards. The remaining 88 are ABA cards.
While there are several notable rookie cards, they aren’t at quite the same level of notoriety as those from the previous couple of years. Still, when the likes of Ricky Barry, Nate Archibald and Bob Lanier make up a weaker crop, it speaks to the era. These simply don’t carry the same level of value. Legends Wilt Chamberlain and Lew Alcindor (Kareem Abdul-Jabbar) rank as the most valuable 1971-72 Topps Basketball cards. The set also has the second-year Pete Maravich. However, it’s a double print, which makes it more plentiful and brings its price down.
There’s little questioning what era 1971-72 Topps Basketball cards are from, even if you don’t know the exact year. They bring lots of colors (often clashing), playful lettering and just enough white space on the front. Players are cut out and cast in front of a single-colored box. It makes for little action but plenty of personality.
For the second year in a row, packs also include an insert. This time it is one of 26 different Trios Stickers cards. Those depicting players have three mini stickers. The remaining stickers cover NBA and ABA logos. If you get 1980-81 Topps Basketball vibes from these, you’re not alone.
