1984-85 Star Boston Celtics Arena Set – Summary
These cards were sold at local arenas during the 1984-85 season and were produced at a slightly lower level than base Star sets, with estimates running at around 3000 sets.
The Erving from the set is the most sought-after, but it is also the first card in the bag so that the condition can be a concern.
Here’s a full poly bag for the 1984-85 Star Arena Boston Celtics set. The first card features a classic post of Larry Bird posting up against Lakers star Michael Cooper.
As with other Star Arena sets, the backs of the cards are a bit plainer than typical Star fashion, with no stat line and a very simplified biography. Here’s the back of the team bag, which shows the #9 card and features a team photo.
Here’s the last card in the set, which features the Celtic’s three main stars at their All-Star appearance.
