1969-70 Topps Dave Bing RC #55

The first widely available card of the Detroit Pistons legend. Bing won Rookie of the Year in 1967 and led the NBA in scoring in 1968 with 27.1 points per game. His silky-smooth game and elite court vision made him one of the premier guards of the late 1960s and 1970s.
