An Unopened Box of 1980 Topps Basketball Cards (36 Packs) BBCE Authenticated (Possible Magic Johnson/Larry Bird Rookie Cards)

The 1979 NBA campaign ushered in a era of basketball that changed the game — literally. Following a historic NCAA Championship matchup, the rivalry between Larry Bird and Magic Johnson renewed in the Association and by many accounts saved professional basketball. The following year, Topps issued a unique three-panel series of basketball cards that featured the first appearance of Bird and Magic along with established legend Julius “Dr. J” Erving. Offered is an unopened box of 36 wax packs untouched for over four decades with potential Bird/Magic rookies inside. This box has been certfied authentic and encased by Baseball Card Exchange, the leading authority of unopened sports card material. This lot is located in Chicago.

$15,000 - 25,000

$80,000 - 120,000

The Grail Amongst Grails.

Presented is an unopened box of 1986-87 Fleer Basketball Cards that is one of the finest examples of this storied issue to ever come to market. It has remained untouched since its original factory issue over three decades ago. Remarkably preserved in the box of 36 packs is one exceptional pack featuring the most important basketball card in the hobby – card No. 57 featuring Michael Jordan in an iconic moment soaring to the basket, arm extended for a beautiful slam dunk.

Authenticated and reviewed by Baseball Card Exchange, the leading authority in the authentication of unopened sports card material. This lot features a letter of authentication as follows:

To Whom It May Concern:

This letter is being written for the 1986/87 Fleer basketball wax box thatis labeled #X1298.

It is in my best opinion that this wax box is in its original form as issued by Fleer. All the packs have similiar wrapper centering and colors. The packs themselves are all clean and mostly NM-MT.

In addition, the collation of stickers is proper for a Fleer issued box. There are 3 stickers showing of each player and a 4th sticker showing for 3 additional players. The additional players with a 4th sticker are: Jordan, Olajuwon and Thomas. There is also 1 pack with a #57 Michael Jordan RC showing on top of the pack.

Sincerely Yours,

Steve Hart Owner, Baseball Card Exchange, Inc.
