(Courtesy of BCSC) On Wednesday evening June 15, basketball legend and New Jersey native Rick Barry will be making a rare East Coast appearance, signing autographs for fans and collectors at New Jersey’s newest sports card and memorabilia store, Bergen County Sports Cards in Bergenfield.

Barry’s appearance coincides perfectly with this year’s NBA Finals. Barry led Golden State to the 1975 NBA championship, and now his Warriors, led by future Hall of Famer Steph Curry, will be entrenched in battle against the Boston Celtics. Barry, a native of Elizabeth, New Jersey, will be appearing the night after the planned game five of the NBA Finals.

Recently named to the vaunted Top 75 NBA Players of All Time list, Barry appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated four times throughout his career, and all five of his sons have played at the NBA level or in European leagues.

Barry is the answer to one of the great basketball trivia questions of all-time: Name the only player in history to lead the NCAA, the ABA and the NBA in scoring. That’s Barry—he of the fabled underhanded free throw.

“We’re going to have a blast meeting the fans, talking hoops and signing some great pictures, jerseys and basketballs. I’m thrilled to be coming back to New Jersey, especially to help my good friend Robert Katz celebrate the opening of his new store. It’ll be fun.”

For more information and to make reservations for the exclusive autograph event, fans can visit www.bergencountysportscards.com. Prices range from $40 for an autographed photo to $200 for a VIP meet and greet including a spectacular signed limited edition Barry career-stat basketball.

Located at 65 West Main Street in Bergenfield, BCSC buys and sells all sports cards and memorabilia, both present day and vintage, from Stephen Curry to Mickey Mantle.
