TAB1980’s MASSIVE Random Pack Break (Win Prizes)!

[TAB1980]

Time to move on from the negativity!

Very surprised that i'm already on the board with my first auto so early and i'm sure Kenny Anderson is not the worst player on the list either. On card is awesome too!

I think Autographics would be my 2023 goal if I actually could commit to a goal

I love the simple and clean design of them

Wonder what the DRob card is printed on? It doesn't seem like cardboard.

Does it have a peel off front layer? I vaguely remember something in UD3 like a plasticy card with peel that just didn’t have instructions to peel

Interesting... i'll check it out!

This is fast becoming the best part of my evenings. Thanks TAB!

You're right! There was a peel off plastic film!

Don’t know how I remembered that! What’s the diff though! Looks better with light behind it or something like stained glass?

Just the colour on the front of the card looks more vivid

Hi guys. About to get started shortly

 

[TAB1980]

1997-98 Fleer

 

[TAB1980]

1997-98 Fleer - Off to a flying start! Nice to have a Duncan on the board already as well as a McGrady. The two Soaring Stars are actually different. The Hardaway is 1:2 whereas the Mailman is an embossed "High Flying" Soaring Stars which is 1:24.

Interesting thing with this release is that Fleer has done away with the gloss. Great imagery on these cards and the way they have done the players names is fine. Not a bad low-end set.

Also, the packs are different with a paper pack on the outside of a plain white plastic pack on the inside. Seems a bit unnecessary.

1997-98 Skybox Hoops

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Nice! I didn’t know there was an embossed Soaring Stars

 

[TAB1980]

I think this is the first year of "Skybox" Hoops right?

It will be interesting to see how different they look.

 

[Hornso]

I can’t stand that NBA Hoops logo.

 

[TAB1980]

1997-98 Skybox Hoops - The are some very sort after inserts in this set like the serial numbered High Voltage 500 Volts, 10 9-1-1 and Autographics.

But as for the base set and the idea of the "Great Shots" Posters, it's a no for me.

The look on Barkley's face sums up this set perfectly!

1997-98 Skybox Premium

 

[Auscon]

1997-98 Fleer

This was the first set I purchased a box of - a couple of years removed from actually collecting as a kid and just wanting to see what it was like to have a whole box.

No idea where I got it from online as I don't think eBay was around in Au yet. I just remember being really disappointed - not the glossy cards I expected from Fleer and didn't get any of the fun inserts the earlier sets had.

 

[TAB1980]

1997-98 Skybox Premium - Don't mind the look of these. Similar idea to Hoops but without the busy backgrounds. Did Antonio Daniels ever amount to anything?
