2007 McDonald's All American Topps Rookie BGS 9.5 Set James Harden Griffin Rose
1 OF ONLY 8 SETS IN EXISTENCE! Could go down as the greatest basketball set ever - even better than'86 Fleer as these are all TRUE rookies and there are not that many out there.
DO NOT CONFUSE YOURSELF WITH THE "ACTION" CARDS THAT TOPPS RELEASED. THOSE WERE MASS PRODUCED WHERE ONLY A HUNDRED OF EACH OF THESE PORTRAIT CARDS WERE PRODUCED AND HANDED OUT IN 2 CARD PACKS (1 BOY/1 GIRL) AT THE ACTUAL GAME; I THINK MOST WERE MISHANDLED OR DAMAGED AS A RESULT. A TOTAL OF 2000 PACKS WERE HANDED OUT TO FIRST 2000 FANS TO THE GAME. 1 GIRL/1 BOY WITH 24 BOYS AND 24 GIRLS ON EACH ROSTER MEANS IF YOU DO THE MATH, THERE WERE ONLY 81 CARDS MADE OF EACH PLAYER. I THINK THE POPULATION REPORT EASILY CONFIRMS THAT AS SOME WERE GRADED BY PSA BUT NOT MANY.
I can only imagine the interest level once its posted in Beckett Basketball Magazine as someday they will showcase this set that is currently going under the rader. You get 24 players (that's all of them) and the subgrades (Centering, Corners, Edges, and Surface)/serial numbers/breakdown of each player is as follows: 1 MICHAEL BEASLEY (9.5/9/9.5/9.5 # 0005722455) and was named MVP at the 2007 All-American Game; 2 DERRICK ROSE (9.5/9/9.5/9.5 # 0005446359) from Simeon went first overall to his hometown Bulls and won League MVP... Still a very popular player in the NBA; 3 OJ MAYO (9.5/9/9.5/9.5 # 0005196579); 4 JERRYD BAYLESS (9.5/9/9.5/9.5 # 0005617365); 5 ERIC GORDON (9/9.5/9.5/9.5 # 0005617363) star guard with the Houston Rockets; 6 KEVIN LOVE (9.5/9/9.5/9.5 # 0005253153) led UCLA to the Final Four, has become multiple season NBA All Star and won the NBA Championship with the Cleveland Cavaliers; 7 JJ HICKSON (9.5/9.5/9.5/9 # 0005253154) ; 8 DONTE GREENE (9.5/9/9.5/9.5 # 0005072744) ; 9 KOSTA KOUFOS (9.5/9.5/9.5/9 # 0005253159) ; 10 BLAKE GRIFFIN (9/9.5/9.5/9.5 #0005215533) multi-time NBA All Star with the Detroit Pistons and was NBA Rookie of the Year; 11 JAMES HARDEN (9.5/9.5/9/9.5 # 0005072762) League MVP and multi-time NBA All Star for Houston Rockets; 12 PATRICK PATTERSON (10/9/9.5/9.5 # 0005505772) power forward for the OKC Thunder; 13 KYLE SINGLER (9.5/9.5/9.5/9.5 # 0005446443) won a National Championship with Duke as their best player; 14 COREY STOKES (9.5/9.5/9/9.5 # 0005253167) ; 15 JAMES ANDERSON (9.5/9/9.5/9.5 # 0005215561) ; 16 AUSTIN FREEMAN (9.5/9.5/9.5/9.5 # 0005446329) is the rariest card in this set as only (3) 9s and (8) 9.5s exist; 17 NICK CALATHES (9.5/9/9.5/9.5 # 0005446457); 18 JOHNNY FLYNN (9.5/9.5/9.5/9 # 0005157477) ; 19 NOLAN SMITH (9.5/9.5/9.5/9 # 0005072738) ; 20 COLE ALDRICH (10/9/9.5/9.5 # 0005253151) won National Championship with the Kansas Jayhawks; 21 JAI LUCAS (9.5/9/9.5/9.5 # 0005215581) ; 22 GANI LAWAL (9.5/9/9.5/9.5 # 0005800227); 23 CHRIS WRIGHT (9/9.5/9.5/9.5 # 0005215547); and 24 TAYLOR KING (9.5/9/9.5/9.5 # 0005361587).
