Here’s another great IP on-card vintage Star Co. autographed of the Captain, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Kids these days forget about how dominant of a force he was in the 70’s and 80’s!

Man, I love the early Star Company cards! They’re simple in design but aesthetically very pretty. I love how they used the border color to color-match with the players jersey color. This is an incredible Kareem Abdul-Jabbar autograph copy in beautiful condition. I love how it captures him in the middle of the sky hook, his signature move. Kareem is a prolific signer, so you can pick up signed items from him very easily. But this one memorializes him and the 1980s Lakers teams.

Yes, the Star Co. card number #101 featuring Michael Jordan in a Bulls uniform is the star of the set. Still, there are plenty of other amazing rookies, stars, and Hall of Famer included in these early Star company sets. Case in point, here is a beautiful John Stockton XRC that has been graded as a PSA 8.

Dominic Wilkins was one of the most pure scorers the NBA has ever seen. In the annals of NBA history, he is still somewhat disregarded for some reason. I mean, “The Human Highlight Reel” - what a bad-ass nickname! He’s in the top 50 players of all-time and was like watching lightning on the court. He had an insane, raw power and was an offensive genius. Yes, he never won a championship, but peaking during the Larry bird, Magic Johnson, and Michael Jordan era will do that sometimes. As you’ve seen, I really do love these early Star Co. XRC rookies. This one has been signed, in person, And now that PSA is actually grading Star Co. cards, I’ll likely submit this for dual grading at some point.

This Isiah Thomas Star Co. rookie autograph checks off a lot of boxes for me. He is a Hall of Fame player with both an NCAA in NBA championship. He went to my alma mater, in Indiana University, and I love these early Star cards. A beautiful, bold in-person blue autograph really seals the deal on this one. Early Star Co. rookies are pretty hard to get, and this one as a stunner!
