WTB 80-81 Basketball Cards to finish a set

Arsenal83 · August 1, 2015 5:01AM

I just picked up a nice lot of 80-81 basketball from a fellow board member, but I'm still about halfway from a set. I was wondering if anyone had any minty commons/semi-stars for sale cheap, I also have about 80 or so NMMT-Mint ones to trade. Please PM and I can send you my want list.

Brian

Need these two:
6 34 Larry Bird / 174 Julius Erving TL / 139 Magic Johnson

91 12 Gus Williams / Mark Olberding / James Bailey SD

Hey Brian, I do. Shoot me your needs list. Thanks. -Ken

I have about 50 pack fresh singles. Let me know what you need and perhaps I can help as well.

Arsenal83 · August 3, 2015 9:18AM

Here's what I need. I know the numbering on this set is weird, so I included the players as well.

Thank you again.

Have a great weekend.

Wow Brian ... Looks like you got quite a few of the ones you needed. Good luck with the last three.

Arsenal83 · November 18, 2015 11:28AM

Thanks Doug. Had to resort to ebay on the last group but would really like to keep my tradition of finishing sets with the help of fellow board members. It's more satisfying than ebay.

Arsenal83 · December 13, 2015 3:51AM

Nice work on a difficult to catalog set Arsenal83

Ain't that the truth. Check out the Set Composition vs. the Pop Report! Yikes! Must have been someone's first day on the job and they have never fixed it. Cue the PSA apologists -- "Perhaps if someone could call and ask PSA to fix this, I'm sure they would be happy to...."

1980 Set Composition

1980 Pop Report HAHAHA....

This Pop Report is an embarrassment.

cards651 · January 9, 2016 1:05AM

I love that the first cards are A.Adams and A.English because after all A is the first letter of the alphabet and it's the first letter of the player's first name. Makes perfect sense...to a first grader. But then Roh-Roh, the first grader loses their concentration and card four is deemed to be Abdul-Jabbar. Shouldn't that be under K.? Then, we abandon names and determine that 'Assist Leader' is somehow the name of the next few cards. Ugh....Fix this, please!!

cards651 · January 9, 2016 1:14AM

While on the topic -- I previously asked PSA to list the James Silas variation. They refused, which is essentially the opposite of 'helpful'...

The first card was spelled JAMS in purple ink. The corrected card is spelled JAMES in black ink. It's the only name printed in black ink. But I'm just a complainer...

cards651 · January 9, 2016 4:10AM

One of my favorites -- some days it's CRISS/REID/TAYLOR, other days it's TAYLOR, REID, CRISS. Here's my $6.50 plus postage. Thanks...

Criss/Reid/Taylor

Taylor, Reid, Criss

Was just able to dig out a shoebox of 80 vending

Didnt realize how many Gus Williams' there are in the set wow

Cross it off and PM where to send it my friend

Arsenal83 · January 11, 2016 4:58AM

PM sent. Thank you so much!!

Arsenal83 · January 16, 2016 2:23AM

Thank you to all the great guys here for help finally finishing this pain in the a$$ set. Between the great deals I was given to the sheer generosity of a few freebies, you guys truly made it fun. I'm know it's not a monster set, but it is one I've always wanted to put together. As it finished up, I ended up with a pretty Mint raw set and a PSA 7 Bird/Magic/Erving with minimal PD.

I still have about 100 minty dupes left so please let me know if any of you guys need help with your sets.

natetrook · January 16, 2016 6:44AM

Now that is what collecting should be about…

Great job finishing an epic set. Congrats.

Nate

Arsenal83 · January 16, 2016 7:40AM

Thanks Nate. It was extremely fun. I got a lot of help and was able to help a few guys along the way. Now i have to find my next project.
