Tiny Mailday

48 Topps Magic photo

Murray Wier # 2 of 6B

Card Size 7/8"x1 7/8" They where developed my licking or placing them in water then put into the sunlight for 30 mins.

Because people varied the amount of saliva or water that they put on the cards and the amount of time left in sunlight its hard to find a nicely developed one. Most cards where overdeveloped or underdeveloped.


This is the pic of the box they would of come out of, I found this pic on the net.

I took a scan of the magic photo next to my wilt to give you an idea on size.

Chad I have a question for ya

I know that there are 11 basketball cards in this set.

The magic photos have 6 cards which I know the # and card names but what I would like to know is there a 48 Magic thrills which have 5 basketball cards.St Louis University/Long Island University/Norte Dame/Kentucky & Depaul
Is there 2 series?

I picked this up for a bargain price,there are bargains on ebay for everyone even us vintage collectors you just got to hunt.
It helps when Al is a good sniper too


Thanks everyone for your comments

Pretty sure there were two series Trace. You have the college ones and player cards like the one you have there. Its a pretty big set too.

Not a lot of info on these out there even from other vintage experts. Seeing there is only a few basketball its maybe better asked in a baseball forum or other forum about movie and US celebrity vintage collectables.

I like the history in those Photo cards. Thanks for the additional info too, interesting read. Very cool indeed!

I haven't came across any that haven't been developed.

I would say they are out there somewhere, it is possible someone has one thats not been developed.

It would be cool to snag one of them or a box

Very interesting mailday Tracy, never that type of card before (i think it is a card), it just so small. I imagine it wouldn't be any easy card to find (no pun intended).
