Early Jordan UNC issue question?

I had a call from a guy over the weekend that I could not answer. He said he had "a good amount" of what may be a regional issue of early 80's UNC Basketball cards. They were isssued by Coca Cola and contain some Worthy cards as well. Anyone ever heard of these?

He also has an old "Little League" bat issued by Adarondak with Larry Dobys signature. Plus another 'Little League" issue of Babe Ruth from Louisville Slugger that is hand painted. He said Ruths face is painted on the barrell of the bat. They sound pretty cool and any help would be appreciated. I will get some pics up when he brings them in.

Thanks- Mike

    The odds are very high that the basketball cards he mentions are from this set or the set that came out the year after.

    They are abundant in supply and I myself have multiple sets and tons of extra singles. Some of the cards were distributed without the copyright line on the back--so he may have gotten some of those--which I would guess as to why he says they may from the 80's.
    I collect Vintage Cards, Commemorative Sets, and way too many vintage and modern player collections in Baseball (180 players), Football (175 players), and Basketball (87 players). Also have a Dallas Cowboy team collection.

    If it's the cards from the above link, they certainly aren't rare.

    It sounds like they are but why isnt Jordan mentioned in the eBay listing? If there wasnt an earlier issue by Coke then it must be the same thing.

    THANKS!

    It isn't listed in the ebay listing because the seller probably noticed that all the Jordan's have already been pulled (or he pulled them himself). That listing is for a 740-card random lot--they are not selling a complete set--Jordan would surely be mentioned if it was a complete set for sale.
