1970 Pete Maravich Rookie Card, Atlanta Hawks - Pete Maravich's 1970-71 Topps rookie card, card #123, showcasing the legendary ”Pistol Pete” in his Atlanta Hawks uniform as a forward. The card captures Maravich at age 21, fresh from Louisiana State University where he had just become the first player to break the 3,000-point mark in college basketball history. The reverse documents his remarkable college career statistics and includes a cartoon panel referencing his coach at LSU. This is an ungraded raw card showing the expected wear consistent with a 55-year-old card that has circulated among collectors. The front displays a vibrant green background with yellow borders intact, though with visible aging and some surface wear, such as rounded corners and light creasing. Maravich went on to average 31.1 points per game over his NBA career and was inducted into the Basketball Hall of Fame in 1986, making this rookie card an essential piece for vintage NBA collectors and those building complete 1968-69 Topps sets.
