anyone remember these basketball cards from the early 80's?

Luckily i didn't have this particular one but i did have one with Kareem on it and being a young kid I of course ripped them at the seam to make them three individual ones

I think I'm going to start searching on Ebay, do a little homework, and maybe start buying some of my favorite 50s and 60s cards.
Maybe start with Ernie Banks, Billy Williams, and Roberto Clemente. Maybe buy some psa 4 or 5's. Nice cards, but not too expensive.
Then maybe move on to Aaron. 

I haven't used my ebay account in YEARS. Does it still work the same? 
What are the payment options? I think I used to use paypal? 
Does paypal still exist? 
What are other payment options? 

Aprreciate if anyone here could give me some direction?

Oscar worthy performance from my childhood!

example of why you don't try to mail a graded card with just an envelope. I won this BCCG Dak Prescott for .01 and $5 shipping. Which at best the buyer will make a couple of dollars if shipped in bubble mailer.. They tried to cheap out and send in envelope with absolutely no padding or sandwiched between cardboard. 




The card isn't really a big deal...  was going into a stack for a birthday present. It was literally broken in half and damaged the card, so its going in the trash now... good example of how not to mail a card..

If I sell a graded card it goes in a box.  I never mail them in a padded envelope.

Oh yeah, Fanatics will be making Hockey Jerseys for the next ten years too.

Hey are getting really big.  This from a company that sold wall mounted images got this far is amazing.

If you live on Long Island and reading this I’ll be at the Babylon show.

That seller used the eBay standard envelope postage to ship your card.  eBay came up with that method of shipping to make it cheaper to ship small flat items.  But they specifically say it’s not supposed to be used for graded cards.  One of the requirements of using the standard envelope is that it has to be thin enough to go through a postage reader.  I’m guessing your card lost the battle with the postage reader. 😂

Need a little help here.

I have some nice 58 and 59 baseball and football cards that are not PSA graded. And I have no plans on getting them graded. I just want to 
put them in some decent card holders. 

What are my best options? Right now they are sitting in top loaders, that are probably 20 years old.
I am looking at the one screw holders. Are those good? Is there a certain thickness I should be looking for? 
Like I said most of the cards are from the late 50s and early 60s. 

If not the one screw holders, then what should I purchase? 
And if you can attach a picture here, so I can see EXACTLY what I should purchase, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

I’m sure you’ll get lots of great suggestions, but I’ve been using these holders lately and love them.  No more screws - they have a magnetic closure and they make for a nice presentation of cards that you’re not going to be getting graded.  I included an eBay link - not my auction - for some of the holders.
