Text of the page (random words):
ographed rookie card designs for each player silhouettes crown royale die cuts and preferred all limited to 99 or less next level memorabilia cards showcasing never before seen player combinations on each booklet you can see the cards i pulled in the box of preferred i opened the walton is the gem for me i love collecting cards of legends like walton and it s a pretty limited at 04 15 the foiling on the panini s choice cards really shines and adds a level richness to the product also the on card auto s really pop off the cards against the white background where the signatures are located the jersey booklet is nice as well i love the themes of these booklet cards you really can t go wrong with a slam dunk theme in a basketball trading card especially when you have the likes of dr j dominique wilkins blake griffin and larry johnson featured the only gripe i have with my box break is the patrick paterson admittedly i don t collect patterson but my grip is less to do with the player and more to do with the design where it looks like the panini team nailed it with every other card in this product these preferred signatures just lack the effort or higher standard of the other lines in preferred it s almost like the preferred signatures don t even belong in the product i know some of the cards are on card autos for certain players like kevin durant and maybe that would make a difference but the preferred signatures just don t make the grade compared to an otherwise flawless product the verdict aside from the preferred signatures panini hit a home run on this one or should i say slam dunk the silhouettes and panini s choice are amazing the on card auto s are great and the list of current nba superstars and legends is more than extensive if you are a collector who is looking for hits than this is the product for you let me know what you think thanks for reading and enjoy every bounce of the ball posted by charles hoopography at 10 01 am 6 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels autograph basketball bill walton blake griffin dominique wilkins dr j jersey larry johnson nba panini review friday march 16 2012 i guess i have another player to collect welcome to buffalo super mario williams super mario williams at press conference all of you who read the hoopography blog know i have an infinite number of collecting interests i have recently limited what i buy and collect to a number of insert sets like the late 90 s sps promotion sets in football basketball hockey and baseball and the 96 jam session showstoppers 9 card set but i am definitely going to have to pick up a card or two of my buffalo bills newest free agent signing the bills offered the biggest defensive free agent on the market the biggest contract for a defensive player in league history at over 100 million i love the move as a season ticket holder trying to look at the move objectively which is difficult considering the excitement i hope the last two season ending injuries are a thing of the past posted by charles hoopography at 9 10 am 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels mario williams nfl saturday march 10 2012 so what do i do with this now 08 bowman chrome jesus montero blue refractor rc 2008 bowman chrome jesus montero rc blue refractor d 99 as an avid sports memorabilia collector and yankees fan i decided a few years back to start collecting a yankees prospect i wasn t sure who that prospect would be so i did a bit of research i talked to other collectors i read all the mlb prospect ratings and decided on jesus montero yeah i know big surprise there in truth i wanted to collect austin jackson but the yanks traded him just before i could pick up any of his cards that was a lucky break for me i guess since we all know it s no fun collecting a guy for your favorite team who ends up getting traded the next year so you can imagine my dismay when i heard about montero being traded a couple months back i do think my pinstripes made the right baseball decision but the front office brass obviously weren t keeping my trading card collection in mind when they made the trade so basically i have a card that looks great i love the blue refractors but i m not sure i m going to hold on to the rc the whole idea of buying this card for me was to follow montero as he came up through the minors and contributed to the big club i know montero is still one of the hottest young bats in baseball and he could become a big star but you may see this one in my trade bait album sometime soon happy collecting and enjoy the smell of that spring training grass actually scratch that have you ever seen a baseball field after professional

93 tsc beam team set there certainly were insert sets before 1993 but it really wasn t until that year that inserts really exploded many companies only had one or maybe two insert sets per product in the late 80 s and early 90 s like fleer with its stickers sets 87 90 and upper deck with its award winner holograms 92 however as the trading card industry took off in the early 90 s so did the size and scope of its products companies started producing smaller sets to insert into base product packs to entice the influx of new consumers that were flooding the hobby and market also known as the golden age of trading cards the 90 s helped spur on creativity and design in the hobby as far as the basketball trading card hobby was concerned a perfect storm was created to coincide with the insert revolution not only were trading cards being designed at a higher level to bring in the golden age but the nba was in the midst of an upswing of its own collectors wanted cards of players like michael jordan and shaquille o neal the sports card industry and nba could not have been hotter and one early 90 s insert set captured the essence of all that excitement new creativity in design and insert magic the 93 topps stadium club product was a premium product that showcased superb photography and a high gloss surface sure laugh now but take a look at a 91 hoops card and you ll appreciate what topps did with its 93 tsc release to go along with its awesome 400 card base set tsc also inserted a 21 card set into its series 2 boxes at a rate of 1 36 the tsc beam team insert set was truly a masterpiece of its time the beam team set features the great photography found in the base set and combines it with the best stars from a hugely popular nba and cool design some of the action shots topps came up with for this set are really tremendous just look at the dominique wilkins card simply awesome the list of players found in this set is really mind boggling from ewing robinson and olajuwon to barkley stockton and rodman this set has just about everyone in it unfortunately two glaring omissions are that of larry bird and magic johnson i know neither played during the 93 nba season but they are in the tsc base set otherwise a checklist for an early 90 s set doesn t get much better than this many collectors jumped on this set because of the shaq attack craze of the mid 90 s and jordan found in the set the jordan beam team is considered to be one of his must have cards for jordan collectors i ve seen varying prices for this set so be cautious if you re looking to build this one there currently are a number of buy now sets up on ebay with exorbitant prices from 199 to 350 that is way too much for this set that has a book value of 120 yes in 1993 the set did sell for well over 300 but the calendar reads 2012 today i ve seen this set sell for around 75 on the lower end and 150ish on the high end i stole mine at 55 00 the set is a nice buy if you can grab it for 100 click here or under as the jordan and o neal typically sell for around 35 and 40 respectively the jordan really is a 25 30 card but we all know those 90 s jordan inserts can get crazy it s not uncommon to see one of these go over the 50 mark i myself built the set the easy way and bought it completed about three years ago i know that s like cheating but i saved a lot on shipping charges by not having to pay 2 3 each to have all 21 cards shipped from different sellers the jordan clyde drexler and dominique wilkins are certainly favorites of mine but the shaq is where it s at for me easily one of my favorite cards in my collection from one of my favorite 90 s sets posted by charles hoopography at 10 52 pm 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to

deck spx promotion warrick dunn back it s true what they say it s all in the details check out this 1998 upper deck spx promotion card of warrick dunn the foiling hologram and die cut details are nice but look at the football helmet shaped upper deck hologram in the bottom right corner if you look closely you can even see an earhole there was some definite thought put into the detail of this card the detail of these spx promotion cards is why i am currently trying to put together four spx insert sets from the late 90 s that feature similar diecut and hologram designs here s a little more background on these upper deck spx inserts i m collecting as many of you know i currently have what seems like a thousand collections going i can t help it there re just so many great cards magazines kicks and posters out there to collect one of the first actions that got me back into the hobby several years back was the rediscovering of late 90 s spx inserts mainly the 98 spx duo view hockey cards 97 and 98 spx pro motion basketball cards the 97 spx cornerstones baseball cards and the 97 and 98 spx pro motion football cards with the exception of the 98 pro motion cards these sets are all very similar featuring cool die cut designs and crystal clear holograms because of those design attributes i ve always liked them so far i have a few cards in five out of the six spx sets listed above the first set i started building was the 97 spx pro motion basketball set in my humble opinion it s highlighted by one of the best looking michael jordan cards in the hobby click here ironically that s the only card i need to complete that five card set even without the jordan i m pretty excited to be 80 done with the set unfortunately i m not as far with the other five sets i have a few cards in each set and am slowly building each set i would like to complete two out of the six sets this year as they are my highest collecting priority if anyone has any spx insert cards from the six sets i m collecting let me know i d love to get these collections jump started with a few trades you can look at my want lists and trade album by clicking here there are a few jersey and auto d football baseball and basketball cards in there now i m always open to trades with fellow bloggers as well as anyone who is a member of collectors card world and sports card forum thanks for reading and enjoy

march 2 2012 do you think anyone can score 100 points again wilt chamberlin scores 100 points in honor of wilt the stilt s 50th anniversary 100 point game i thought it only fitting to ask will anyone accomplish this feat again i don t believe any player in the association will ever get to that magical 100 point plateau the talent is certainly there today there are a small handful of players currently in the association who i feel can score 100 points in a single nba game but i just don t think today s nba will allow it the game is just too complicated remember when david robinson needed to score 71 points to win the nba scoring title in 1994 his spurs teammates were feeding him the ball left and right and he still couldn t couldn t even come close this is just one example to show how great of an accomplishment chamberlin s feat was look at kobe s attempt or jordan s 63 agains the celtics in 86 for additional support the bottom line this is a much different nba with more complicated defenses and more talented players than the chamberlin s 1962 nba what do you think posted by charles hoopography at 7 16 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook
