1972 Icee Bear Project -- # 6: Jerry Sloan, Slabbed A PSA 8

Here's the sixth addition to my 1972 Icee Bear PSA 8 project. This one was listed as a straight buy-it-now and after unsuccessfully attempting to get a couple bucks knocked off with an offer to the seller I went ahead and clicked the BIN button as it was still not much over half a blaster.


Jerry Sloan is one of the semi-star guys I was looking at in the $10-20 range whenever I ended up picking him up and thankfully he fell closer to the lower end of that spectrum. Sloan of course ended up in the Hall as a coach but his playing career was pretty darn impressive as well. I'm making much quicker progress towards the 20-card set than I thought I would by this time but I expect it will slow down considerably at some point in the near future.

    Dang. He looks so young there. I remember watching him coach in the 80's and 90's. He looked like a grandpa.

    P.S. Cool card.

      Thanks! And he's definitely fresh-faced in that photo.

    Apparently it's Jerry Slaon Day!! I got my copy today AND I got his 1970 Topps card in my COMC package. That card is an eyesore. Check it out (I haven't had a chance to scan mine)

      Haha great minds! I've been staring at that exact Sloan card for weeks at work as my boss has left one sitting out for some reason.
