The card collector's view

1969-70 Topps #25 (as Lew Alcindor) is Kareem’s flagship rookie card and one of the most iconic vintage basketball pieces ever produced — a high-grade copy is the cornerstone of any vintage NBA collection. The 1970-71 Topps and 1972-73 Topps cards anchor his early Milwaukee championship-era pieces. For premium collectors, his Panini National Treasures patch-autographs and Showtime Lakers-era jersey relics offer the high-end memorabilia options.

About Kareem Abdul-Jabbar at FreshDCards

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar held the NBA career scoring record for 39 years — 38,387 points — until LeBron James broke it in February 2023. The skyhook never got blocked. Six NBA championships across 20 seasons (one with Milwaukee in 1971, five with the Magic Johnson Lakers in the 1980s), six MVPs (still the all-time record), 19 All-Star selections (also the record), and a 1995 first-ballot Hall of Fame induction. He led the NBA in scoring twice, in rebounding once, in blocks four times.
