A set by Topps that is viewed by most as one that helps connect the era NBA/ABA merger era to the company's monumental 1980-81 release that featured the first-year examples of players such as Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, the company's 1978-79 hoops release featured a checklist of 132-cards and featured the rookie offerings of Jack Sikma, Dennis Johnson, Marques Johnson, Bernard King, Norm Nixon and Walter Davis while the bevy of stars include the likes of Bill Walton, Julius Erving, Pete Maravich, Walt Frazier, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Rick Barry, Artis Gilmore, Moses Malone, Earl Monroe, Wes Unseld, George Gervin, Elvin Hayes, Calvin Murphy, Nate Archibald, and many more. Offered here, we present this complete set of Topps' 1978-79 basketball release. Found to be in the overall high-grade condition state of EX-MT to NM throughout its entirety, the key cards of 1-Walton (small amount of wear to bottom right corner), 20-Gervin (slightly off-center), 67-Checklist (unmarked), 75-King RC, 80-Maravich, 83-Frazier, 86-Parrish, 110-Abdul-Jabbar and 130-Erving are all found to be in the range of EX-MT to NM for their efforts, helping this set stand as one to be desired by all looking to add some vintage hoops cardboard to their collections. Of note, card #69 of Dan Roundfield has a tiny dent at the top border to make you aware of for accuracy.
