⚠ About Shop At Home Cards Star Shop At Home cards were produced and issued in 1997 by Star founder Robert Levin and sold on the Shop At Home Network. Collectors were informed that these cards were made in the mid-1980s while Star held an NBA license. This was false — the cards were newly printed in 1997 and backdated to appear as original issues. Shop At Home cards are considered unlicensed NBA issues and are worth a fraction of authentic Star cards. Do not purchase these as authentic Star cards.
