In each pack of 1998-1999 Finest basketball is 6 cards. Packs run roughly around $3. There were some key rookies, not in this series however but in Series 2 such as Paul Pierce, Vince Carter and Dirk. Refractor parallels to find in both series .
The base cards were simple. A chrome approach with some action photos and a name written down the side. I liked that they left the card open for photography. Just check out the Charles Outlaw below.
There was also a covering on the cards that was a peelable protector that I always left on.I think for me it wasn't to protect the cards as much as it was my hobby OCD.
Best two cards from my pack. Can't go wrong with The Admiral and Barkley.
There were no rookies in series 1 packs. Pretty sure they did two series that year. I have not opened any packs since probably 2000, though, so I can't remember for sure.
ReplyDeleteI never really liked this year's set. I don't know why...it's just not a favorite Finest set. The coverless parallels were a one year only issue. Unfortunately there were printed on plastic and have gotten kind of sticky.
