Like shit he doesnt know! You could almost bet its a reprint - im pretty sure there was a set of reprints in the mid 90's with that card in it ? Correct me if im wrong ..
Here we go. The STAR cards. They had a topic about this on beckett. Let me see if I can remember it. Correct me anybody if I am wrong.
Back when they released the product it was really popular and what not and prices went through the roof, as is noted on beckett right now. So a few years later the company went back and produced even more of the same cards trying to pass them off as the originals. The big problem to collectors is that STAR used the same everything (pressplates, ink, etc) to make those reprint cards. Needless to say, now nobody can tell the originals from the reprints.
This is not the real star XRC. Just the topps reprint. Star is one of the most miss understood companies of all time. Some sets had fakes, some had reprints etc.
If anyone wants to know about particular star co cards pm me about them.
I've been collecting them for decades and talk to people like Steve Taft etc a fair bit so I have the knowlege to answer your questions.
forgot to add in the small print on the back of the card under the stats it will say its a certified reprint from topps 1996. it matches up right with my copy
I love the question someone has asked and his response.
For someone who doesn't know much about basketball he certainly buys a lot of it!

This confirms that Becky52 guy has no brains. Like Ive said before he pays a shitload for really common stuff and in bad condition too. Its been said he would be a great member here but what knowlege would these bidders bring to the board?? Especially with bids of $110 for a topps reprint! How could someone that collects cards so much be so ignorant??? :shock:
