Ha! I have a set as well but i just got this picture off google images, as i did with all of the other pictures. I think i have most of those actual cards (but not complete sets, yet)

Ok quality is not the best, need to take them during the day - but here are the Noyz Boyz and some others which were grouped together and near the top of my box (i have a horrible storage system at the moment)
Ultra Stars
Big men on court
Hot Shots (incomplete, need the admiral - amongst other sets i am chasing)

Yup that comes up first when searching for large images. Just realised the link is to ozcardtrader as well!

If you use the search tools and select large images only (as in the screenshot above) it should be the first for everyone. Google shouldn't selectively filter like that!

I'm impressed!
I didn't believe you had them.lol
I might have to do some set chasing myself as I have all the MJ's already...
Have you started on the Platinum Portrait set yet?
I'm going after that set first I think...

In most cases, once you have the MJ you already have over half the set.
Although MJ is often the easier card to source of any set but takes the biggest bite out of the bank. Some of the less popular players rarely turn up anywhere. eg i have been waiting for a stoudamire 96 thrill seekers to pop up for 6 months, never seen one!
Even trying to find a picture is difficult
I am currently putting together the platinum portraits. I have about half at the moment, still chasing them though.
I think i have a duplicate Abdur-rahim as well.

93/94 Finest Refractors
Even the base set of these, for the time, were awesome visual candy. For the refractors though (in my limited experience) i was annoyed that other than the subtle oily coating on the card, the numbering was still the same. When i got one i really needed to compare it to another base card to notice any particular difference. It would've been great if they could add R to the numbering (like they started doing for other parallels later on).
I wonder how many could've gone unnoticed because the effect was too subtle (or maybe my eyesight is just shitty)

Sorry but I have more to add, there's too many awesome sets to have a top 10.
Some GU sets
I'm probably a little biased with this one
I really like those metal fusion cards. Are they numbered at all? I've seen some numbered, not really sure what the deal is with those.
Also Payton looks really strange in Lakers uniform...
Here's what Beckett have written about them.
Fusion (silver)
SET INFORMATION
This 50-card set is a semi-parallel of the base set. The set only parallels cards 101-150, the Heavy Metal and Supernatural subsets. The cards feature die cut technology. Card 1-30 were inserted at one in 16 packs, while cards 31-50 were randomly inserted and serially numbered to 250. Due to a production problem, 15 of the 20 Supernatural cards were produced with an incorrect front logo. Thus, these cards were serially numbered to 40, rather than the 250. Five players remain correct, they are Jordan, Stephon Marbury, Shawn Kemp, Allen Iverson and Grant Hill.
Fusion Titanium (gold)
SET INFORMATION
This 50-card set parallels the fusion insert using an enhanced design on gold card stock. Cards 1-30, the Heavy Metal subset, are inserted at one in 96 packs, while cards 31-50, the Supernatural subset, are randomly inserted in packs and serially numbered to 40. Due to a production error, 15 of the 20 Supernatural cards were incorrectly serially numbered to 250, rather than to 40.
And yes I'm still trying to come to grips with seeing Payton in anything other than Supersonics uni
93-94 scoring kings!
Ive had numerous conversations with people who think the MJ scoring kings is the best card of all time, for differing reasons. But I do agree, they were beautiful cards and MJ was the best card going round during the peak of sportscard collecting in Australia.
I also love Jambalaya's too
@drobfan8 ive been tossing up the idea of a Kobe playmakers theatre for a long time, and wondered what the big deal was. Your pic, is the first Ive seen that did them justice. Ive only seen scans which look nothing like your pic. Im gonna be hunting for it now!
