67. 1960 Kahn’s Wieners Jerry West (HOF RC) – PSA EX-MT 6
This 1960 Kahn’s Wieners card features rookie guard Jerry West in high contrast against a darkened court. This Lakers uniform would go on to define West’s career as a Hall of Fame player and executive, spurring great demand for this first-year card from his fans and collectors. This composed, confident look and the reverse’s enthusiastic biography set the table for West’s achievements as a key part of the Lakers franchise. PSA’s EX-MT 6 shows a sharp image with great contrast and near-perfect edges. Light corner marks show where it once lived in an album, protected by angled tabs. The deep black ink on its front proved vulnerable to print variations like the small fuzzy mark left of his dribble, an artifact seen on some West singles from this set. Its reverse remains clean and evenly toned, with an almost gushing biography of his All-American accolades and expectations for immediate NBA impact. Centering lies eastward on an otherwise clean surface. Jerry West’s rookie sits among the most significant of all Kahn’s cards, thanks to its strong image and star power. PSA’s population report contains 32 total across all grades and just three higher, with none scoring better than NM-MT 8.
