Just acquired a lot of 10 of the 1976-77 Topps Basketball cards, that measure 3 1/8" x 5 1/4". I love these cards, and bought the lot as they were the first basketball cards purchased at the neighborhood 7-11 when I was a kid. Does Ultra-Pro or another company sell sheets that will fit these cards? My local card dealer has the sheets that fit the 1971 Topps Basketball, but I don't think he carries anything for these. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!

I think the closest will be the four pocket. Maybe the two pocket if the fours are a bit less than 8 1/2x 11.

Thanks for the input. You mean the four pocket UltraPro brand?

Looks like these fit up to 3 1/2" x 5", yet the 1976-77 Topps basketball cards are 3 1/8" x 5 1/4", so would 1/4" of the card stick out above the pocket?

Does BWC still make sheets of all sizes like this?

Yeah, they'd stick out of the Ultra Pro. I wonder what ones I have? it's been a long time since I've bought four pocket.

BCW does make ones that would fit

3 1/2 x 5 1/4, and they say the pocket is actually 3 15/16 x 5 1/2 so not a great fit. But better than Ultra -Pro.

I've been slowly migrating out of pages, I had loads of vinyl ones.

I have my set in 4 pocket Ultra-Pros. Regardless of posted dimensions, mine have an extra 1/4" of pocket, so you don't have to worry about cards sticking out.

Thanks for all the input. I purchased a few sheets of the Ultra-Pro 4 pockets, and they work great! Some room on each side of the card, but the cards are completely protected.

Thanks again! :)
