Basketball Card Collection Appraisal

Collection of 1989-1990 NBA Hoops Basketball Cards in Binder

This item is a collection of 1989-1990 NBA Hoops basketball trading cards, visibly stored within clear, plastic nine-pocket sheets in a ring binder. The cards themselves are standard sports trading card size, approximately 2.5 by 3.5 inches, featuring full-color photographic images of NBA players from the era, set against a white border with a distinctive arched top design. Each card displays the player's name, team, and a designated card number on the front. Visible cards include players such as Harold Pressley (Kings), Dennis Hopson (Nets), Johnny Dawkins (Spurs), Reggie Lewis (Celtics), Rodney McCray (Kings), and Lenny Wilkens (Cavaliers, likely a coach card), along with others like David Robinson (Spurs, card number 138), John Stockton (Jazz), and Larry Nance (Suns). The cards appear to be in good to very good condition, with no overt creasing, significant corner wear, or surface abrasions immediately visible through the plastic sleeves. The plastic sheets themselves show no signs of yellowing or significant cloudiness, indicating reasonable care in storage. The binder, a standard blue three-ring type, is partially visible and appears solid, providing protection to the card collection. This specific series, 1989-1990 NBA Hoops, is notable for being the first licensed NBA set produced by Hoops, making it historically significant for collectors. This collection represents a snapshot of NBA talent from the late 1980s. The overall presentation suggests a well-maintained collection rather than individual loose cards.
