He led the ABA in scoring. He fought teammates, terrified opponents, and vanished without a trace.
This episode of Cardboard Credentials dives into the legend of John Brisker. A man too fierce for the league and too mysterious for history to explain. From Detroit grit to ABA chaos, NBA exile to a one-way trip to Uganda, Brisker’s story ends in silence but echoes louder than ever. And at the center of it all? A single card: 1971–72 Topps #180.

Every card has a story, and this one refuses to die.
