Will just launch straight into it......lest they get forgotten again!
So much low end stuff lying around - will kick off with the retired guys and move on to the current day. So let's take a trip down memory lane!
2008 Most Improved Player was..............Hedo Turkoglu! Hard to imagine, him, Rashard Lewis and Dwight Howard being the big 3 players vying for a title - but Stan Van Gundy certainly knows his stuff!
Classics with the really fitting Blast from the Past design and concept.
Boom Dizzle! Baron Davis Fleer Platinum with the really cool designs and colour schemes -not many aqua cards about these days!
Danny Manning Luxe /99 - Clippers mainstay with that big rubber mattress around his knee. #1 overall back in '88!
Bit of love for the glove...Gary Payton. Who didn't have a soft spot for those Sonics teams with him and the Reign Man - always good for an alley-oop or two!
Threads /199 and Luxe /99
Glenn 'Big Dog' Robinson - most known for being drafted #1 overall ahead of Kidd and Grant Hill. Love these cards because that's legit parquetry floor from THE BOSTON GARDEN.
Butler / Arenas / Jamison / Stevenson SPGU /35 - that crazy bunch of Wizards with the big 3 scoring duo
Fo, Fo, Fo - it's big Moses Malone. 3 x MVP and champion in 1983 with the 76ers and Dr J. RIP big fella.
The little white Canadian engine that could, M-V-Steve - powering those high octane, run n guns Suns squads with STAT and Matrix....
A belated Christmas Card....One on One with Tony Parker (vive le Skybox!), Limited (nice looking design) and Bowman Elevation out of something SP....hard to keep up with that set!
Grant Hill FOTG /49 - the Roger Federer of the NBA, except in Orlando, he's public enemy no. 1 over there! Got paid but never played! And when he was able to play............he left for greener pastures! Great all round talent! though!
The old Spurs regime is dead and buried - Manu and Timmy - undisputed champs of their day and helped set the standard for team oriented basketball in a 'me first' era.
SPX Winning Combos w/ Manu
And some cards of the Big Fundamental himself. SPX, Sweet Shot and Finest.
You all know the tune.....Yao Ming, Yao MIng, Yao Ming, Yao Ming, Yao Ming.......Yao Ming! Is it just me or has his stuff skyrocketed (pardon the pun) in price? Wished he stayed healthy - really enjoyed those Yao & T-Mac squads!
SPX Winning Combos w/ T-Mac
SPX, Classics, Finest x 2 (one of the best series of all time),
..and if there ever was a design which captured the er, 'essence' of a player surely it's Yao Ming and the Finest Far East Fabrics - in terms of design it's an absolute rip snorta imo!
Magic Johnson! Threads /199 Probably the only Magic Johnson card in history where he looks unhappy and doesn't have an ear to ear grin on his face! Why so serious? Like the clean cut look of this design too..
To another big man, with er, slightly less finesse and touch.... Shaqtus!
Didn't realise how hard these are to come by - but a rare sighting of some Pat Riley GU from UD GOTG. Legendary front office guy and coach too - basketball genius!
Some Black Mamba GU - Elite, Threads /199 and the Limited 'Spinaroo' - such er, innovation....
Will leave it here for now and resume with some retiree patches.... To be continued!
