Interested to hear- Does anyone think they WEREN’T the days? Like today’s prices and magazines are better than late 90’s or even early 00’s. Curious!

How about this little nugget of info in there!?!?

For context, any idea of most recent sale? I tried 130 but no luck. I guess they rarely move these days…

4 or 5 years ago - $900k usd and one higher private sale last year I believe but I can’t remember how much

Edit - it might have actually been $400k usd 4 or 5 years ago then the more recent one was 900k - either way - $$$$$$$$$$$$

Basketball card fanatic has far more content. It's tough to beat these days.

The hot list from 90s Becketts though and the excitement of seeing who was on the cover is 2nd to none. It was lacking content at times.

Ah the good old days. Anyone from then remember the unannounced parallels for 1994-95 skybox premium slammin' universe? There were three versions - standard blue, green and then a black. Black was the hardest to find.

I don't think I remember this! Was this really a thing?

Just had a quick look on COMC and ebay - either no Greens or it's too hard to tell the diff

PSA doesn't seem to differentiate on the labels either

Most people weren't aware of them. And still aren't. I guess people think each player had a different colour background. I'll post up pics later. I've got Patrick blue and green and detlef black.

As promised, the pics of the 1994-95 skybox premium slammin universe colour variations.

There is also - allegedly - a silver version of this insert. Having only seen gold foil, I don't know....

 

[taffster74]

With gold versions of this now confirmed, who knows what else there are variants of from skybox.

And of course, this unannounced duo from 1995-96 skybox premium....

That’s awesome mate - has to be not widely known or appreciated I reckon!
