This was the first official release for Star and showcased thirty players from the 1983 NBA All-Star game in Los Angeles—a thrilling game in which the East All-Stars pulled off a 132-123 victory.  

The set is recognized for featuring the first official basketball card for Isiah Thomas, although collectors more highly desire his card from the 1983-84 Star base set. 

The cards feature the trademark Star design. All cards in the set have dark blue borders and a dark blue background on the back.

Note that Dr. J has three cards in the set #1 (checklist ), #4 (regular card) and #26 – this one, all tend to have the same rough value, although #1 was on the front of the cellophane pack and is hard to find in great shape.
