Description
BID PER WHAT YOU SEE IN THE PHOTO, NOT THE AI GENERATED TITLES AND DESCRIPTIONS! 1980-81 Topps Basketball Collection Featuring Team Leader Panels and Stars
This collection consists of a significant assortment of cards from the landmark 1980-81 Topps Basketball set. This set is historically significant for its unique three-card perforated panel format. The lot includes a mix of intact three-card Team Leader panels, individual "mini-cards" that have been separated along their original factory perforations, and standard-sized "Super Action" cards. Notable Hall of Famers and stars present in this collection include Artis Gilmore, Maurice Cheeks, Adrian Dantley, Jack Sikma, Jamaal Wilkes, Bobby Jones, and Cedric Maxwell. The collection features various team subsets, including Scoring, Rebounding, and Assist leaders for franchises such as the Lakers, Knicks, 76ers, Bulls, and Celtics. Please note that the Larry Bird/Magic Johnson/Julius Erving rookie panel is not present in this lot. All cards are in English and represent the standard base set and "Super Action" variants.
Condition report:
The cards are ungraded (raw) and currently stored in standard plastic binder pages. The majority of the mini-cards have been separated from their original panels; the resulting edges exhibit the characteristic \"fuzzy\" or jagged texture typical of this set. Centering is variable across the collection, with several examples showing significant shifts toward the edges (e.g., Scott Wedman). Corners generally appear square to slightly rounded. Visible edge whitening is present on several cards, particularly those with darker borders like the Knicks and Suns players. Surfaces appear generally well-preserved without major creasing or staining, though minor surface wear consistent with age and handling should be expected.
