Elgin had a 3 year stretch where he averaged 35 points 18 rebounds and 5 assists. One of the most underrated hall of famers ever. RIP

RIP Elgin. It's a shame he got hurt before the Lakers won a title

Thank you! It has a little wear on the surface and maybe a small wrinkle. I was very happy when I found it.

I feel like I met him when I was chasing ‘graphs at the 94 AS game—auto is on a Hoops checklist with random others

Default RIP Elgin....

One of the faves in my set!

RIP Elgin, still can't fathom his 1960-61 stats 19.8 RPG with 34.8 PPG!

Peace, Mike

PS Sorry for the huge photo, I'm still learning how to size them! ugh

Just saw the Sportscenter story on him. I am embarrassed I did not know much about him or how absolutely dominant/amazing he was.

If he were playing today his Prizm 10s would be thousands and thousands of bucks.
