Featured here is an original 1969 Topps \"Tall Boy\" Rookie Card (#57) hand-signed by longtime Warriors forward Joe Ellis. Ellis beautifully executed his signature in rich, fluid blue ink right across the lower margin of his portrait on the card front. This classic rookie issue has been fully verified, certified, and encapsulated as an \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8\" data-index-in-node=\"500\"\u003eAuthentic Autograph\u003c\/b\u003e by the industry-leading experts at PSA\/DNA under certification number 112617318.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"9\"\u003eThe 1969 Topps basketball set holds a legendary, top-tier status in trading card history, famously marking Topps' grand return to the professional hardwood after an eleven-year production absence.
