Bob Pettit’s rookie card is in the 1957 Topps along with Bill Russell, Bob Cousy and Cliff Hagan. Bob Pettit is very fan friendly and still responds to TTM requests. I purchased a PSA 4 card and cracked it open and sent it in a bubble mailer with a blue sharpie and $10 in hopes that he would add a couple inscriptions but no luck and he used a different sharpie.
There are currently only 39 autographed Bob Pettit 1957 Topps cards in the PSA database.
