First pack I ever ripped! I been hooked ever since . I love ripping now just like I did as a kid! I will rip any and all cards just for the thrill of collecting! Long live Trading Card Collectibles! | ||
Probably the ugliest looking set ever made ...EVER! I mean whoever came up with the 3 panel card should have been fired on the spot. Sad thing is, Magic and Bird's rookie cards are considered to come from this set. | ||
Very first pack of cards I ever opened... to this day I cant remember who was in it, but remember separating them all... stupid, stupid 9 year old!!! don't know what ever became of them, guessing chucked by Mom at some point..

I have the Bird, Magic rookie card. I collected 1 or 2 packs when I was a kid and got lucky. Found it in a shoe box years later.

The 1980-81 Topps basketball card set contains 264 different individual players (1 1/6" by 2 1/2") on 176 different panels of three (2 1/2" by 3 1/2").

Topps decided to add a new wrinkle to this set-- by making three mini cards instead of one card which were perforated --and hasn't ever been done since, the script used for the team's name was similar to that of the 78 baseball set with the cursive letters. Of course these cards are only truly valuable today if you have a card which is still together instead of torn up. I bought these cards as a kid but unfortunately wasn't bright enough to keep a card together and instead cut them up, like I think most kids did. the most valuable card from this set being the Larry Bird/Julius Erving/ Magic Johnson card. |
