Looking for some info on this Dennis Johnson MacGregor card. The top portion of the back is spanish and the card is #172. It measures about the same length of a normal card but is about a half inch more narrow. Thanks

    All I could find were 'Macgregor Sports Market' baseball card sets from the early 60's. There is no Macgregor basketball sets in the 2008 beckett catalog I have. No luck with any other search.

    It is a 1986 Merchante card that was issued in Spain. I have had many of these and I'm bought most of mine from overseas. These cards were made to be pasted into albums. In fact, I have a full album page with the cards still glued on. Most of the players in the set are international players, but there are a handful of US players.
    PSA labels these as hand cut, but I've never seen any evidence that they are hand cut. All the examples I've handled have had nice even cuts with corner wear.

    The notables in the set include Jordan, D. Robinson, Drazen Petrovic, Arvidas Sabonis, Bird, Abdul Jabaar . Here are some examples.

    The same issue was released in 1985 an the cards were smaller. They didn't include the small picture at the top. Here is an example of the 85 Jordan
