DESCRIPTION

1969 Topps "Tall Boy" Henry Finkel #34 Dual-Graded PSA EX+ 5.5 / GEM MINT AUTO 10 — Crisp Bold Signature on a Historic Celtics Legacy Issue!

This is an exceptional, highly coveted addition for vintage basketball collectors, autographed set registry builders, and Boston Celtics franchise historians. Featured here is a beautifully preserved 1969 Topps "Tall Boy" issue (#34) hand-signed by former Celtics big man Henry "Hank" Finkel. Finkel boldly penned his name in rich, permanent blue felt-tip ink directly across the lower center of his oval portrait on the card front. The signature is immaculate, receiving a perfect Gem Mint AUTO 10 grade paired with an excellent-plus PSA 5.5 card grade assessment under certification number 111281491.

The 1969 Topps basketball set holds a legendary, top-tier status in trading card history, famously marking Topps' grand return to the hardwood after an eleven-year production absence. The release is globally celebrated for its unique oversized 2-1/2" × 4-11/16" Tallboy layout that perfectly framed the hardcourt giants of the era. This specific card catches Finkel precisely as he arrived in Boston to navigate one of the most high-pressure roster vacancies in sports history. Finding a cleanly dual-graded mid-century survivor with a flawless 10 signature on original 1960s card stock is an uncommon hobby find.

Card Highlights:

  • Player: Hank Finkel (Longtime Celtics Center & 1974 NBA Champion)

  • Team Subject: Boston Celtics

  • Set Format: Iconic Oversized "Tall Boy" Layout

  • Card Number: #34

  • Autograph Grade: PSA/DNA GEM MINT 10

  • Card Grade: PSA EX+ 5.5 (Cert # 111281491)

Condition: Housed safely in an oversized clear PSA custom holder designed specifically to shield and preserve the unique dimensions of the Tallboy era. The card presents with great facial clarity, excellent color registration, vibrant background oranges, and honest, uniform corner/edge wear standard for a well-preserved mid-century survivor. The blue ink signature is incredibly sharp, clear, and stands out with elite visual contrast against his green jersey profile.
