Interesting and fun concept.

My brain must be asleep because it took me a long time to figure out why there were two Kobes...

[Dodgydave]

Langford RC is a cool change of pace. Hopefully, he has a breakout second season.

A&G do some interesting and quirky cards. I like the Fairy Bee, perhaps I should get one for my brother — he is a beekeeper.

 

[Hornso]

Fairy Bee > Wem-bee

 

[Dodgydave]

Fairy Bee > Wem-bee

Ironically this brother I'd a Spurs fan so he is partial to some Wem-Bee as well!

 

[0401Specialk]

Fairy Bee > Wem-bee

Fairy bee is so small you can’t see it, bit different to Wemby

Day 7 - Carmelo

1 x pack 96-97 Collectors Choice Series 2 chasing my first Kobe RC

I traditional Upper Deck fashion the first 2 cards were a Jerome Williams base

Arvydas Sabonis Super Action Sticker

No Kobes but I got 1 more chance at some point this month

 

[Dodgydave]

1996-97 Collector's Choice brings back some memories.

I hope you have 1993-94 Topps as well - I opened way too much of that as a kid.

Not in this round, I did smash 6 boxes of 93-94 Upper Deck last year though definitely brought back memories of high school
