GOATS and Grails: A Personal Dream (Basketball Edition)
Jerry West 1971 Topps #50
Position: Guard
Team: Los Angeles Lakers (1960-1974)
Basketball Hall of Fame: 1980
West was a 14-time All-Star and won a championship in 1972 with Los Angeles. His silhouette is used on the NBA logo. Although not a rookie, I love his 1971 Topps card. With vibrant colors and stylized script, this edition captures the Hollywood glitz and glamour frequently associated with the Lakers.
