Help on pricing - Bird/Magic RCs?

[redzfan11]

A little help here please all. I haven't bought Basketball in over 25 years (only do baseball now) and I have some cards from the late 70's and early 80's to include the infamous "3-card" perforated cards of the 80-81 season (I think). Any idea what the values (if any?) of the cards that are ripped apart. I'm sure this has been some discussion here or elsewhere before. Thanks!!!

If you can provide all the specific details of the card(s) I can look up the BVs for you.

When you get a chance, just lmk the brand, year, card #, and the players featured on the card(s).

Hopefully I can help you out.

Here's a pic. I wish I knew then what I know now...I've got a whole box of these - at least 2 or 3 each of Magic & Bird - probably worth the cardboard their printed on...

The 1980-81 Topps #6 34 Bird/Erving/Magic has a BV of $250.

[redzfan11]

That would be nice - but mine are ripped apart...If I could only go back and smack myself upside the head...

Any idea what the separated cards would be worth? I'm guessing 1/10th the value...

[wildboyz_211]

The BV for the Bird/Erving/Johnson is $250...but thats intact...you can make assumptions yourself...

[kobe080]

its a bummer that they are ripped apart...
but im pretty sure there will be some people who wants those ripped cards...
best way to test is list on ebay.

[gatorboymike]

I've seen those go for single-digit dollar values.

I have the whole set of 80-81s...the way I keep them in order is to put them all in penny sleeves, then write their actual numbers in Sharpie marker on the sleeves. Thanks for making it easy for us, eh Topps?
