It's a legitimate, established certification company, but its population data and resale market are much thinner than the \"Big Three\" — worth knowing for buyers used to shopping PSA or BGS slabs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the card:\u003c\/strong\u003e Jerry Sichting was a 6'1\" guard out of Purdue who went undrafted in 1978 before carving out a long pro career, first with the Indiana Pacers and later the Boston Celtics, whom he joined in 1985. This card shows seven full NBA seasons on the back, making it a firmly veteran-era issue rather than a rookie card. Sichting was a member of the Celtics' 1986 championship team, playing alongside Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, and Robert Parish during one of the franchise's most dominant stretches, and was known as a steady, physical defender despite his smaller frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"auto\"\u003eShips same business day of cleared payment.
