1970 Topps #163 Tom Sanders PSA 8 - The "Satch" of the Celtics

A quiet cornerstone of the Boston Celtics dynasty, Tom “Satch” Sanders was the definition of a team-first player. Known for his defense, toughness, and unselfish play, Sanders was a key contributor during Boston’s unprecedented run of success in the 1960s—helping the team to an incredible eight NBA championships. His willingness to do the dirty work made him a favorite of coach Red Auerbach and a vital cog alongside stars like Bill Russell and John Havlicek.

Graded PSA 8, this example from the 1970 Topps set features bold colors, strong centering, and sharp corners, offering excellent eye appeal for a card that’s now over 50 years old. The 1970 Topps design, with its bold nameplate and classic portrait orientation, remains a staple of vintage basketball collecting—and this card honors one of the Celtics' most underappreciated contributors in top condition.

Perfect for collectors chasing Celtics legends, building a high-grade 1970 Topps set, or curating a collection of NBA champions and Hall of Famers, this card delivers clean presentation and historic significance.
