This is a substantial collection of 89 vintage basketball cards from the 1977-78 Topps NBA set.

This lot includes several key All-Star subset cards, notably Maurice Lucas (1st Team All-Star), Paul Westphal (2nd Team All-Star), and Leonard Truck Robinson (2nd Team All-Star). The collection features a deep roster of stars and semi-stars from the era, including Bobby Jones, Calvin Murphy, Doug Collins, Jamaal Wilkes, Lou Hudson, Quinn Buckner, Don Buse, Gus Williams, Charlie Scott, Rudy Tomjanovich, Alvan Adams, Brian Winters, George McGinnis, and Randy Smith. A broad cross-section of NBA franchises is represented, including the Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers, New York Knicks, Seattle SuperSonics, and Boston Celtics. The cards are printed on traditional gray/tan cardstock and are housed in protective 9-pocket sleeves within a binder.
