Default Looking For Info 7-Eleven Magic Motion Cards

Hey Guys,
Can anyone shed some light on these obscure Magic Motion Cards.

They are lenticular and about 2 inches square. I think they are from 1978.

Does anyone know how these were issued or how many in the set.

There is a football OJ Simpson , Hockey Phil Esposito, the attached is Nolan Ryan.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

PSA has graded two Nolan Ryan's, and they're included in the Nolan Ryan Master Set. So it might be pretty valuable if only two have been graded, with how popular that set/player is.

There's a Rocky Marciano on eBay right now.

Neat set, I've never seen it before. Thanks for sharing it.

Thanks for posting and Yes, lots of followers of Ryan.

The OJ just sold a few months ago for $400 !!

There are more in the set such as football Steve O'Neal and as previously stated Rocky Marciano. So 1 hockey, 2 football, 1 boxing and 2 baseball.

The other baseball I have is Hank Aaron, talking on the back of the card about him breaking Babe Ruths record.

Still, no info on how these were issued, similar to the 7-11 Roto Cups type of design?

They were on the bottom of the cup, under a removeable cover.

Which seems unclear...

The cups were paper and had a taller than usual bottom section. There was a circular thing that pushed in there and held the card in.

I got one from a 7-11 near a cousins house. 77-78 sounds about right. In CT, they weren't in all the 7-11s, the one near my grandmother had players directly on the cups, when they had them.


I may have the cup somewhere, I don't know where the cup and card are at the moment. (I vaguely recall keeping the card in the cup, I'm odd like that)

Awesome Steve, it appears to be an under the cup type of promo, coke did hockey in 1978 under the cup with square cards in panels, and the bottom piece you would send away for an album. I see hard creasing in some of these, which being a small card, not easy to do unless your prying it out of somewhere. Please post if you can find the cup and card.

I picked up some of these recently and there were two undocumented ones in the lot. Anybody else collecting these? Any they want to sell? I'm trying to put the 'complete' set together.

Someone on Blowout asked about this set, so I put together the names I've seen plus the ones that person knew about.

1) Hank Aaron
2) Don Carter
3) Wilt Chamberlain
4) Ty Cobb
5) Tom Dempsey
6) Phil Esposito
7) AJ Foyt
8) Billie Jean King
9) Rocky Marciano
10) Larry Mahan
11) Steve O'Neal
12) Jesse Owens
13) Pele
14) Nolan Ryan - interesting that the two mentioned previously are no longer in the pop report, and the Nolan Ryan Master Set now says that this is not required for scoring, which means they think it's too rare to be required.
15) OJ Simpson
16) Roger Staubach
17) Sally Younger
18) Don Vesco

Yep, remember this also. It was the exact same way the 7-11 lenticular discs were issued as well. Those had an arrow pointing at the bottom to remove the cover as show below, I was young but I remember this issue being similar.

Thank you for this - I just got a Staubach and couldn't find anything about it. Any thoughts on value? Nothing on eBay that I could find.

This made me laugh.

Sorry to out this one, but if you were going to pay 55k for the Chamberlain it might be better spent on therapy, lol.

So many issues in the 70's and 80's, I think the greed of MLB and the union demands will make these just a memory going forward. It's just too cost prohibitive.

The Topps Utz cards are some of the few recent items, but I feel like food issues were previously everywhere and now it's a needle in a haystack.

That said the McDonalds Pokemon fiasco that had people buying the cards out the back door leans into just how hard it would be in today's society.

Well, it was an asking price with a Best Offer available. The way it was explained and I understood from a couple of the major auction houses, it's possible and not too far fetched. Extrapolate the only sale of that card (SGC 4) to a PSA 8 and it's not too far off.

You can get an Aaron for $30K....

I have a Staubach which I suppose I should get graded....the only Staubach that's been graded is a 4 and I know mine is nicer than that....

No matter how rare any item is, there are limits on demand for some of them. Those are so basic and generally unappealing to most, that I doubt too many people would be in the market for them.

If there were actual photo images of the players, and equally as scarce, the demand would be much higher.

I love oddball stuff, but even these are not something i'd want to pay much for and given the apparently scarcity, I doubt I'd be in a position to own any anyways.
