    There are some solid shots in that set. I love the Dr. J and the Kareem. Good Luck!

    Crazy how many Bullets are in the backgrounds.

    52-90 All Sports, Mostly Topps, Mostly HOF, and some assorted wax.

    It’s 100% bullets in the background from what I can tell. All the non bullets are wearing away jerseys. Looks like Topps went with a DC area photographer.

    Great vintage box. Can't offer any input on the back gum residue. :(



    Thanks,

    I always look forward to your threads. The chance for fire, floods, etc...It's like reading stories from the Bible. Lol

    My understanding is that the Capital Centre in Landover MD had very good lighting and some kind of set up that made the photography look better. If you look at Topps hockey and basketball sets from that era they are dominated by pictures from the Cap Centre.

    Beautiful cards. It's a favorite set of mine. One of these days I would love to open up enough packs to put that set together pack fresh. Thanks for sharing!

    I don't collect basketball and don't know much about it in that era, but those are some nice looking cards. That being said I do recognize a nice looking Dr. J when I see one.
