The card collector's view

1972-73 Topps #195 is Erving’s flagship rookie — the iconic Nets ABA vintage card is the cornerstone of any 1970s basketball collection. The 1976-77 Topps and 1977-78 Topps cards from his early Sixers years anchor the vintage flagship pieces. For premium collectors, his Panini National Treasures patch-autographs and 1983 championship-era jersey relics anchor any Dr. J collection.

About Julius Erving at FreshDCards

Dr. J carried basketball into the air and into the future. Three professional championships (two ABA with the New York Nets, one NBA in 1983 with Philadelphia), the 1981 NBA MVP, four MVPs across both leagues, and the most influential dunking style in basketball history. Erving played five ABA seasons and 11 more in the NBA, made 16 straight All-Star teams across both leagues, and was a first-ballot Hall of Famer in 1993.
