Jeffrey D. Mullen Presents Vintage Basketball Cards

BEST OF THE BEST BASKETBALL CARDS

MAIN

 

            I've been getting a lot of emails from mainstream collectors seeking an "All Time Greats" type l list.  Now, my opinion differs from the majority opinion so, for some categories, I will have two lists ... a "Jeff Mullen" all time list and a "Majority" all time list.  If you have been with me from the start of this website then you will realize that I've had a few polls directed to what the "Majority" thinks are the greatest cards of all time.  This is the information that I will use to construct the "Majority" all time list.

 

            These lists are constantly subject to change as new information, and public insights, surface and are considered.
