Description:

This Dick Snyder basketball card is number 86 in a series of 264 that by the Topps Company Inc. for the 1973-1974 NBA season. The front of the card features an in-game action photo of the Seattle SuperSonics guard. The card’s reverse features a small cartoon image illustrating the factoid that “Dick’s nickname is ‘The Duck’,” as well as a short biographical sketch and career statistics.

Snyder played in the NBA from 1966-1979, playing for the St. Louis Hawks, Phoenix Suns, Seattle SuperSonics, and Cleveland Cavaliers. A highly effective shooting guard, Snyder made 49% of his field goals and 82% of his free throws during his lengthy career, which ended with a championship in 1979 with the SuperSonics.
