Help ID'ing some McEnroe cards and stickers

Justus · September 18, 2016 10:01AM

First up...I'm guessing a Panini?

2nd...a Google search shows someone calling this a 1979 Super Sticker, but it's different than mine than actual says "1979" and "Super Sticker" right one it (the one with red letters).

3rd...small sticker. The curve is just a curve of the card but it is cut very askew.

4th...a little larger than a normal card.

5th...a little smaller than a normal card.

6th...about the size of a regular card.

Thanks for any help!

I don't know what they are, but they're freakin cool! Especially the second one.

Great cards! Thanks for sharing.

1. I haven't seen this before, it does look like something from panini. I think there was a bunch of panini issues around 1980, so that would be my best guess.
2. I have a few of these, and a few are different. I've seen them advertised as 79, 80, and 81. The ones I have are slightly oversized. I'm not sure how to tell the difference between the years.
3. I haven't seen anything like this one before. Based on the hair, my guess would be it's not quite as old as the others, maybe mid or later in the 80s?
4. This one I'm sure about, it's a 1983 Brugera Aces del Deporte. They're not super rare on some of the foreign auction sites, but not common either.
5. Think I've seen something like this before, I'll have to look around and see if I can pinpoint.
6. Haven't seen anything like this either. When you bought it were there others with numbers on it? I wonder if it's from 1984 or that's the number in the set?

Thanks for the info, A4A. I've had these for 10+ years, so can't remember if there were other numbers around the last one.

3. 1986 Idolos Dourados Portuguese Calendars 32 John McEnroe

Thanks A4A on #4. Any idea why PSA doesn't grade those?

Looks like PSA grades these.

Looks like they are now grading them.

That's not what he said. He said they don't grade #4. Why did you edit his original comment to change his question? Weird.

My bad, I was working on my ipad and got the numbers mixed up.

4. 1983 Brugera Aces del Deporte....

I think they might grade these. PSA calls them 1983 Editorial Bruguera and only one has been graded to date, #69 Jack Nicklaus.

Looking at this webpage, the #69 Nicklaus (as well as the others) looks like the same layout, etc as the McEnroe.

I'm going to send it in and see what happens.

For #2, it is from the 1981-82 Panini's Stickers set. The 1980 Panini's Stickers looked similar, only a bit different on back, but those do include the copyright 1980. The 1979 Panini Super Stickers set has a back design that is easier to differentiate. The 1981-82 set does not have a copyright. The guy who has the #1 Marilyn Monroe set has scans of the 1979 and 1980 set posted here. I have some items from the 1981-82 set myself, but I don't have scans available at the moment.

Yes, it will be graded instead of N9'd, and labeled as 1983 Ed. Bruguera

Good to know. Hopefully I'll have a couple to submit soon.

ETA: Just picked up a copy of the same sheet shown in your link.
