He's not a player I would associate with one team, having divided his career and accomplishments kind of evenly among the Warriors, 76ers, and Lakers. So the solution is this San Diego Conquistadors player-coach card. He was actually prevented from playing for them by a lawsuit filed by the Lakers.
I also received a bundle from Brian's Free Friday series (Highly Subjective and Completely Arbitrary).
Former Red Sox pitcher playing out his twilight years with the Yankees.

Clemente flirting with Jennifer Beals.
In 2003, Helton finished 2nd in one of the closest Batting Average races in NL history. I was in attendance for Game 162, against the Padres.

That's 1989 Topps Traded Rickey, to honor his return to Oakland after a stint in NYC. I got his autograph during his first A's tenure.
The Lakers have had some good players.
Phil Ford's rookie card strengthens my unofficial Relocated collection.
We close this out with an All-Pro from the Buddy Ryan era. The Eagles would go on to win Super Bowl LII by routing the Patriots.

Good stuff!! I LOVE that Wilt card!
