A Larry Bird card I always wanted, Boston Celtics Garnett rookie card, gold, pizza.

[Brett Szabo]

Here are some cards that just arrived. The Larry Bird NBA Hoops card was an insert with his VHS tape about his career. I think it is really good, a very good design. The other Bird is the Fleer Tony's Pizza, instead of finding it in the tape case this one was found by people inside the frozen pizza box.

Marlon Garnett was someone I didn't really remember, or maybe people wanted to forget because of his FG%. So there is his rookie card. The other, more recent, Garnett has been better for the team.

A bit too shiney in the scan, the Radja and Brown cards are the gold parallel ones. There is also a Dee Brown Rookie Standout. A nice uniform card is there, for Adrian Griffin. The Raef LaFrentz card now goes beside the parallel versions of it.

Oooohhhh I like the Tony's Pizza one...love oddball stuff!!! Great pick-up...the 91/92 ones are tough to find.....pretty sure I've only got about 3-4 from that set. I do have the entire 92/93 Fleer/Tony's Pizza set and the 92/93 Fleer/Drakes set though.

Edit - Just checked my wantlist....I've got 7 of the 91/92 set...better than i thought!!

I have never ever heard of 'that' Garnett... and I'm sure I've busted at least one box of that stuff...
Good ol' Gold Signature too. Loving it.

The 91/92's have an "s" prefix.....the 92/93 Tony's aren't numbered at all and the Drakes feature different numbers to the main set (and they may have 1992 Fleer on the front instead of 92/93 Fleer)....otherwise there's no other way to distinguish them.
I haven't got my Beckett Annual with me.....but there are full checklists and ways to identify the cards in there.

Most of your question has been answered, but I think I have the right Pippen card numbers.

For the Bird pizza card above, I showed the back with the S - 58 number, which means it is 1991-92 Fleer Tony's Pizza. So Pippen for that set is S - 116.

There may not be a 1992-93 Tony's Pizza Pippen for the normal cards, which would not have a number on the back, but there could be a Pippen in that pizza set with a Slam Dunk mention on the card, a subset. For the Fleer Drake's 1992-93 cards, Pippen is number 8.

I think that is right, but someone can correct it if any of the information is moxed up.

Thank you to all who looked at the cards. I should have some more interesting Celtics soon, a 6-10 power forward who could score a lot of points at a high percentage.

I have been looking for that damn Tony's Pizza Ewing card for years now and I just can't find it, congratulations on scoring that card because it's a tough find.

I see Marlon Garnett shot 29.4% in his rookie / final year - can't be too many of his cards around. Nice work on the parallels and the old gold parallels rock!
