Several months ago, I decided to try to collect one of every main stream Todd Lichti card. There was only 24 on the list, but some were semi-hard to find.

I have all but quit the hobby at the moment, but wanted to see if I could get all of these.

Matt (Shawn Bradley Fan) helped me out with buying these 2 from Beckett. Thanks heaps Matt, I couldn't have done it without your help!

So, here are the latest 2 additions........

91-92 Fleer Tony's Pizza

91-92 Hoops 100 Superstars

And with that, I have completed my mission!

I may now try to get the 5 Panini stickers made of Todd Lichti, but I am not 100% sure yet.

You can see scans of all 24 cards at the link below if you are interested.

Thanks for looking!

Sure mate.

6'4" SG drafted by Denver out of Stanford. Finished college career as the second-leading scorer in Pac-10 history (behind Sean Elliot, but ahead of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar).

Averaged 8ppg as a rookie and lifted that to 14.7ppg in the playoffs.

Averaged 14ppg in his second season, which was unfortunately cut short due to a car accident that killed his fiance.

Played 2 more injury-plagued seasons for Denver, before being traded to Orlando (for Brian Williams), who waived him after a few games. He then played a few games for Boston and Golden State.

A couple of years later, he was in Australia visiting his best friend from college, Andrew Vlahov, who convinced him to sign with the Perth Wildcats.

I already knew of him in the NBA and was pretty stoked when he signed with the Cats and I have been a big fan of him ever since.

There is some good links regarding his stats in the NBA and NBL here:

Thanks for that! Tragic about his fiance and NBA career... I really like little collection ideas like this! Stories behind them and out of basketball reasons. It's great Congrats on the achievement again and good luck with the Panini stickers!
