Hard to find a Tom Heinsohn, Boston Celtics Topps Basketball Card
December 2nd 2008
You all remember Tom Heinsohn, right? The 1956 regional draft pick of the Boston Celtics? Well, I’m pretty sure everyone could see the future of this young Basket ball player even before he was drafted. At Union Cross college during his Senior year, he scored a school record by dropping 51 points through the basket in a single game!
Needless to say, his professional career basically followed suit. He was part of the Boston Celtics team that won eight NBA title in nine years. Number 15 was, of course, immediately retired after Tom retired. Well, since now you remember Tom Heinsohn, I’ll bet you are also remembering just how hard it is to find the 1957-1958 Topps basketball card of him. You know, the one featuring him going up in his number 15 Boston Celtics jersey? Card number 19 in the series? Ah, now you remember, because more than likely it is a card you have been looking for!
Well, plan on looking some more, unless you are planning on spending a hundred dollars or more on it. It seems like this is indeed the going price for the Tom Heinsohn Boston Celtic number 19 Topps trading card. And is this for the near mint version? Maybe. If you look hard enough. But don’t expect to get a “very good” version any cheaper. Actually, expect to pay even more for a mint version.
You might find it for less if you are an incredibly gifted bargain shopper, or enjoy digging through flea market rubble. However, for those of you with more money than time on your hands, expect to dump at least the lowest triple digits on this one.
