Are these basically the size of a third of a normal card, or were the unperforated cards bigger?

They were attached together in a standard size three-card panel. Each single is about the size of the current Minis in Topps products. The 1996-97 Collector's Choice Mini-Cards are the same dimensions.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Hmm. I don't really like minis so I guess the 80-81 Rockets team set won't be on my list to collect. Thanks, Billy.

I'm not a fan of minis or oversized cards either. If they aren't standard size to fit in my boxes, they go somewhere else as decoration and don't get counted in my collection.

My brother told me he actually almost got me a John Havlicek RC for my birthday, but I happened to mention to him before he bought it that I only collect standard size cards. Got a Bernard King and Tom Chambers instead.
