It took me a while to come around, but I'm a big fan of the Sportscasters. Lots of HOF pre-rookies. Here are a few of my personal faves:

One of the greatest.

Were all of these cards issued over the 3 years or were they issued in series? I know nothing about them. Thanks!

I think some of each. There definitely are different series/releases and they were also issued separately in many countries. It may be, though, that some of the series continued to be released for more than one year. But the PSA dates mean little, as Magic and Bird would not have been issued in 1977 for example.

Are the copyright dates on the back the actual issue dates?

I think so but I also think for the earlier ones they may have continued to release them for more than that year.

The one with the women's basketball game is a great card. It has Uljana Semjonova (preferred spelling), Pattie Sue Head (Summit) #14 on the right. Lusia Harris trying to block Semjonova's shot. Nancy Dunkle #8 and Julienne Simpson #15. Harris died earlier this year and Semjonova turned 70 a few weeks ago. An acquaintance who lives in Latvia says she does not like publicity, but she is one of the countries most famous athletes. She competed for the Soviet Union since Latvia was a CSR (Communist Socialist Republic). The one of Ann Meyers is probably either the Pan Am Games or World Championships as she wore #6 at the 1976 Olympics.

And strictly speaking, since the card was no earlier than 1977, it isn't a playing days issue for Summitt. Her last playing days were the 1976 Olympics. In 1977 she was coaching at Tennessee in AIAW competition. |

I screwed up earlier. The Harris postcard was 1992, not 1972. Apologies.

AS far as I know they were - At least in the US- sold by subscription, so much a month for a certain number of cards.
I think - but am not sure- that each subscription began with set 1 and continued showing up as long as your money held out. The number at the lower right ends in the set and card number. The Astrodome card is set 20 card 2. A totally crazy set if you count all the different printing locations, languages, etc. |

I am not a card person so I would not even know if there are any cards of them. I have photos of both. In the thread about basketball photos and postcards I posted a photo of Pattie Sue Head in 1973 after she won a gold medal at the Universiade. I also have an Olympic game action photo of Harris.

"Pattie Sue"? She went by Trisha, or sometimes Trish, when she was young.

Here's one I consider extremely under-rated.

A documentary about Lusia Harris, titled "The Queen of Basketball", executive produced by Shaquille O'Neal and Stephen Curry, won an Oscar last night.
