This 1996-97 Topps Chrome Refractor Allen Iverson #171 rookie card is graded a BGS 10 Pristine, displaying subgrades of 9.5 Centering, 10 Corners, 10 Edges, and 10 Surface. As the inaugural release of Topps Chrome basketball, the 1996-97 set revolutionized the sports card market by introducing the chromium technology and highly sensitive refractor parallels. Pristine copies of this card are exceptionally scarce, as early refractor surfaces were prone to print lines, minor scratches, and centering inconsistencies during the manufacturing process. Selected first overall in the historic 1996 NBA Draft, Allen Iverson went on to win the 2001 NBA MVP award, earn 11 All-Star selections, and secure a place in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. His cultural and on-court impact redefined the sport, maintaining a permanent influence on fans and collectors alike. This BGS 10 Pristine example represents an extraordinary standard of preservation for one of modern basketball's foundational rookie assets.Show more
