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.
