Lot # 1629: 1984-1985 Star Basketball Court Kings Near Complete Set (45/50) with (38) Signed Examples

Tremendous foresight was employed by our Texas-based consignor by not only purchasing a 1984-1985 Star Court Kings Basketball set at the time of its release (purportedly, only 5,000 sets were issued), but then using determined legwork in chasing down 1980s NBA teams at Dallas-area hotels and then securing high-end autographs! Winner takes all of this extraordinary 1984-1985 Star Court Kings Basketball near complete set of (45/50) cards with (38) signed examples. These dynamic 5x7 action shots with average (EX to EX-MT) surfaces are boldly penned in blue or black ink and project beautifully from the oversized foundations. Includes:
