Since the NBA all-star is just days ahead, I've decided to share this with you guys.. Before I was into toys, I was into music and these stuffs!  Remember skipping classes just to watch the finals way back the 90's when Michael Jordan was basketball and everyone else is just his audience?  When a rookie named Grant Hill was once thought to be the heir apparent?  When Jason Kidd was with the Mavs, David Robinson was the Spur's franchise player, and Anfernee Hardaway wore the Nike Uptempos?  When the USA Basketball Dream Team is all that matters in the Olympics?  I used to have a booklet of these, though I don't play the game! Thanks for viewing!  |

LOL! Special edition cards are called "INSERTS"! And if you ever have a mint "Scoring King" labeled "Hot Packs" like the leftmost MJ Card, you can be considered "cool" with your collection(though the most expensive MJ card(if I'm not mistaken since I'm not updated na) was his "regular rookie card" priced around P20k during the 90's I think?)! In my case, I have to skip snacks just to buy a pack of either the Upper Deck, Fleer, or Skybox NBA Collectible Cards and take chances of finding inserts. And "Beckett" was the bible for the hobby btw! |

Hehehe, i used to collect Alonzo Morning, but i started to lose interest in it coz a little damage on the side of the cards means that it will either lose its value or something like that... After that i started to collect Magic the gathering , since any damage on the card can be disregarded and two, you can play w/ them |

Mine was New York Knicks.
I still remember the "Hot Packs" that you can get from Fleer. And of course the 1 card per pack Upper Decks.

@ quattro: The "salat" system? Who wouldn't do that? And I know you used to have a photocopy of "beckett"! LOL! ;D BTW, I still have 1 KG left, an upper deck holo! The glossy type. I don't know if it's the 1 card per pack? Want a memento? @ X-31: D**n right! A lil' damaged depreciates the card value! Either you keep 'em in some sturdy plastic cases or time wears 'em out!  @ hiroki1998: The entire Knicks team? Now where have all your NBA cards have gone? Thanks for viewing! |

Just like you finding your childhood stuffs. I've long stopped collecting sir. These few cards I just managed to keep for good! Some memoirs of college life! |
