Investing in Basketball Cards

Investing in Basketball Cards

While there are millions of people who collect for fun, trading cards can also be a valuable asset and some do make money by investing in basketball cards. Graded cards are where the money is.  While card companies today create the idea of scarcity by numbering them,  the numbers of old basketball cards in top grade are limited […]

Best Old Basketball Cards to Buy

Best Old Basketball Cards to Buy

Unlike football and baseball, we didn’t really see a full set of hoops cardboard until 1948, had only one set in the 50s and nothing again until the late 1960s.  It’s a relatively new collecting genre and while identifying the best old basketball cards to buy is a little subjective, there are some cards that […]

1980s Basketball Rookie Cards: 10 of the Best

1980s Basketball Rookie Cards:  10 of the Best

It’s a study in contrast.  While it gave us Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan rookie cards (as well as other members of the famous 1992 Dream Team), it was also a near wasteland for mainstream issues.  A list of the top 10 basketball rookie cards of the 1980s relies primarily on just a […]

1970s Knicks Featured Dave Stallworth, Phil Jackson Rookie Cards

1970s Knicks Featured Dave Stallworth, Phil Jackson Rookie Cards

The 1969-70 New York Knicks team holds a special place in the memory banks of fans who grew up in the era.  Red Holzman’s guys were the first New York “winter” team to win a championship since 1940 and there were a raft of books written both immediately after that year as well as in […]

1976-77 Topps Basketball

1976-77 Topps Basketball

There is no set that compares to the bigger than a postcard sized 1976-77 Topps basketball issue.  With dimensions of 3 1/8 inches by 5 1/4 inches, each is nothing short of gigantic compared to most trading cards.

1986-87 Fleer Basketball

1986-87 Fleer Basketball

The ultra popular 1986-87 Fleer basketball set has some of the greatest players of all time in it, like Larry Bird and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, but most collectors are primarily after Michael Jordan’s rookie card. Jordan was famous for his highlight dunks, ten NBA scoring titles, six NBA championships, a couple of Olympic gold medals and […]

1980-81 Topps Basketball

1980-81 Topps Basketball

The 1980-81 Topps basketball set is known primarily for just one card, the dual Larry Bird-Magic Johnson rookie card. Three small cards joined together to form one standard card, Bird is on the left with the Johnson rookie card on the right, and in the middle was Julius Erving’s 76ers Scoring Leader card. Topps opted for a new […]

1979-80 Topps Basketball

1979-80 Topps Basketball

One that is overlooked by collectors, the 1979-80 Topps basketball set is affordable and has plenty of cards of Hall of Famers.  At just 132 cards and with a rather uninspiring design, it’s not one of Topps’ best efforts, but there’s no denying the quality of the players. The front of the card uses a basketball with […]
