Nobody could dip like Wilt.

Too bad Wilt played his best years in an era where no one was producing Basketball cards nationally. He had two cards in the 1961 set by the time his next cards were issued, he was a Laker.

Here are 1961 (action shot), 1969, and 1973 (his last card.)

Wilt actually had a card in the 74 set as well.

True, and although the Conquistadors list him as player/coach I don't think he ever actually played for them, did he?

No, he wasn't able to actually play in the ABA because of NBA legalities or some such stuff.

The 61 I/A is a fascinating card, most all have the linear scratch in the green of the top part. Mine has the exact same line. Plus my 61 RC, which has border issues on the reverse.
