Hi I’ve recently returned to collecting basketball cards and have a few questions I am hoping you can help me with. I’m putting together a Topps set from every year from 69-70 to 79-80 and am about half way there. The question is how do you store the tall boy 69-70 and 70-71 and the jumbo 76-77? Are there any sleeves for the 76-77?

Ultra Pro makes 6-pocket tall-boy pages. I use them for my 93/94 Power Play hockey. ------------------------------- ~Aaron~ Please check "My Finnish Flash Collection" to see which cards I am looking for with my PC - willing to trade or buy anything I need. 2,174 unique Teemu cards....and counting (Last updated 22 April 2024) 828+ different Brett cards....and counting

Yes, there are 6-pocket pages for the 69-70 and 70-71 sets and 4-pocket pages for the 76-77 set.

Ultra-Pro also makes "tall-boy" toploaders and penny sleeves for storing those cards. So I'm guessing there are also cardboard boxes made to fit a set of those cards (as well as 1993 Fleer GameDay NFL cards and Power Play NHL cards).

NO PWE's EVER!!! PLZ PM me 1st before sending any offer. ONLY selling cards as of March 2024. No trades or purchases right now.

I have my set of '69-'70 Topps basketball in top loaders. I'm not sure that I've ever seen a box that will store them upright though. Either way, there is a storage method for you to store all your different cards and card sizes.

I use the 4-pocket pages for the 1976-77 Topps basketball. The pages are intended for postcards but the cards fit nicely. They make penny sleeves and toploaders for postcards, also. ------------------------------- *Someday my cards may double in value and then be worth half of what I paid for them.*
