🏀1978-79 Tops Basketball Card Set. 1-132 Cards. Look at how crisp each card is especially on each corner. These are the Sports Cards you want to own especially THIS full completed set. Vintage and prior to over printing and getting very scarce. Cards are in protective professional sleeves in a three ring binder. 

🏀Back in the day, I was fortunate enough to be able to buy 1978-79 boxes of these cards and put together what I think is one of the most impressive clean mint to near mint sets available today. Cards went immediately from packs right into protective sleeves just made for sports cards. That is why the condition is superb.  The ink on each card is vibrant and perfect I would say.  

🏀Cards back then were so acceptable to nicks, bent corners, scratches etc. The ink on the cards is very fragile and thin. It does not take much to mare or scratch these cards. These cards were never shuffled through like you are accustomed to maybe doing when you are looking for a specific card in the so called deck. By doing this it would definitely create mares and scratches. And then there is the card stock. It was kind of layered and also very fragile. Did not take hardly anything to nick or bend a corner. Also the card stock can even delaminate I have seen. Unlike cards today you will not find every one perfectly centered and even the professional graders take that into account when grading. But they will look at the other negative attributes that I have listed, which not one of these cards have. Good Luck trying to put together this set right now in this condition. The cards are becoming non-existent especially in this condition. 

🏀Why should you purchase this set. Because these cards I personally opened and went from the packs right into the protective sleeves. It does not getting any better than that. Keep in mind that cards back then had real loose textured card stock. Most cards in this era will have nicks, bent corners, scrapes what have you. These cards are all in pristine condition. And condition is everything. Just try to find another set as clean as this one. Cards were never handled by children or being shuffled together, in and out of boxes etc. Each card looks like the day I took it out of the pack. Keep in mind that these cards were never stored in a humid or unregulated temperature environment such as attics, basements or garages. The cards were always stored in a perfect temperature closet in my home. When you see them for the first time you will be impressed. 

🏀THESE 1978-79 SETS ARE GETTING VERY SCARCE AND HARD TO COME BY ESPECIALLY IN THIS CONDITION. I assume prices will be going higher and higher. Over 45 years old now. 

🏀Lots of huge stars from Julius Erving, Bill Walton, Paul Westphal, Bob Lanier, Wes Unseld, Marques Johnson, and Kareem Abdul Jabbar as a Laker. Jabbar was traded from Milwaukee in 1975. Many more stars. What a set!

🏀The cards look so much better in person than the pictures. You can purchase cards or sets in many different condition grades. And by far this is one of the best I saw or seen. You are receiving what you are paying for. Its rather simple in the sports card collection arena. The better the condition grade, the more you have to pay. I highly recommend for you to always purchase the best grade your budget allows. It will pay huge dividends in future years.  

🏀I personally bought these packs and opened them to complete this set over 30 years ago. So much fun. I was the only person to every touch these cards out of the packs. Bear in mind because of this, there are no bent corners and all cards are in mint shape. And you know as a sports card collector, condition is everything. Now it is time for someone else to enjoy. Please store correctly as I have done so over all these years. Cards look as good as the day I opened the packs. What found memories. What fantastic players. Makes me want to go throw a basketball around right now. Unfortunately I shuffle medical bills now instead of cards. I only hope they are going to a good home. I know they will.
