Right about Jordan being so valuable but packs could be $49.95??? Could never have imagined there being one pack “boxes” - what a scam lol
No speakers with players reciting their own stats or cards that update their stats in live time either. Interesting ideas to be fair.

Players don't want to sign a few autographs for money these days - can you imagine them reciting their stats from years worth of info!?!?! Never!

Players don't want to even play 82 games or go in the paint haha
 
Nice thread @GarnettFan4Life I have a stack of old Pro Basketball Today magazines lying aroudn for nsotalgia's sake. I'll try to take some happy snaps and post them up...

Would be more of a sale / trade thread though if anyone happend to be interested *nude nudge wink wink*
 
kids just don’t know how good they have it. Imagine having to go the newsagency every couple weeks to pick up the latest pro basketball just to keep up with what’s go going around the league.
 
I can see both ways - the benefit of instant access to news and game highlights on internet/social media but I used to love the weekly game and highlight program and scores in the newspaper and going to buy a Beckett mag with a few packs at the newsagent.

Sometimes I just don’t wanna know what the players are doing every hour of the day - I don’t wanna know what boat party James Harden is on lol - I wanna just see a game
 
I only ever bought PBT during the trade seasons and for the incoming rookie crop. I was more of a season preview magazine guy - fond memories of Hubie Brown's insights...learnt a lot just through reading.
