Star Basketball sets to avoid master list

[Econteachert205]

From what I have read the type II’s associated with this set tend to be off register. So if the card picture Is clear that is a good sign. I would also say if the seller is reliable it is likely good.

I don’t want to come off as an expert. I am learning more as I add information. I just really like the era and the cards.


My best advise is to read basketball gold top to bottom. Then look at as many auction results on the cards as possible. That is what I did.

I would also say to buy a handful of low priced singles raw to examine closely. They are distinct cards and once you know what to look for, if a seller has good scans it will add confidence to your buying.

I just wanted a thread where star collectors could help each other navigate these cards and enjoy them.

Well this has been a useful thread for me Dennis. Thanks for starting it.

basketballGold only lists 1 crunch and munch set:
1985 Star Crunch 'N' Munch All-Stars

What is the 1986 Crunch & munch ? is this different? sometime the Star years get interchanged (85 gets called 86 etc), so I want to confirm whether there are 2 different crunch and munch sets or not...

Yes there are two sets. One is original one is not. The original 1985 set uses the same Jordan photo as the lite All stars set. The fantasy “1986” set uses the same Jordan photo as the red 5x7 dunk set.
