Basketball Lot Came My Way

In my continuing trade posting of my latest one with Shane, sorry I am stretching it out some as I need some posts to keep going with, we are tackling all kinds of my PC's.

Today we take a gander at a basketball lot that Shane snagged for me. I will say though, this isn't all of the lot. I pulled three cards from it to save for another day.

This lot hits the spot in my favorite era of collecting in the 90's which is between 1995-1999.

Chris Webber Cyber Metal

Freshly Forged Grant Hill

Front/Back of Class acts with Penny Hardaway and Wright

Total O with Jerry Stackhouse

This one looks super cool. I haven't seen one of these before in Future Champions of Tim Thomas

All Star Ultrabilities Antoine Walker. Once again, haven't seen one of these

I can somehow picture Arnold Schwarzenegger saying this, Towah Of Powah

Jason Kidd being a Wizard

Abdur-Rahim always found his way into my collection and here he is again

  

Damon Stoudamire Rock N Fire

I was impressed how many of these I haven't seen before. I collected quite a bit 90's basketball and from a variety of brands and thought I have seen it all til now. 

I really enjoyed this lot. What I haven't mentioned yet was that Shane also passed along some of his own basketball stuff to, which once again, I will save for a rainy day.

My Prize From Cardboard History

One of my favorite blogs, even though I don't comment as much as I should on it, is written by Billy over at Cardboard History.

Watching the way he works with his collection and how in-depth scans, keeps tracks everything from players, the total numbers and the overall, you guessed it, Cardboard History of his collection is phenomenal. There isn't another blogger like that in the 300+ of us out there. I wished I could do half of what he does with his collection.

In the past month or so, Cardboard History celebrated it's blog anniversary and Billy had promised a prize to a winner. What none of us didn't know was that he was handing prizes out to all of us who commented on that post. Pretty cool.

I didn't know what to expect as my prize and it showed up at my door not long ago and it was right up my alley.

Anfernee Hardaway 4-Sport. Nothing wrong with a little Penny.

Steph was a great player in the 90's, I never mind adding another Steph rookie to the collection from 1996-1997 Topps. A buddy of mine who used to collect went in hard on collecting Steph back then. I even was able to trade a small stack of Marbury in exchange for a Tom Brady Fleer Ultra rookie. That also had to do with the fact he hated Tom so much he just wanted him gone.

And the third card he sent was a rookie of Antonio McDyess. What I wouldn't do to have Collectors Choice back again. It was a solid product for it's price point.

Billy also knows my love of football and sent along this Absolute Memorabilia rack pack from 2018.

Let's take a look at some of the key finds. There were other good base cards in it as well, sadly no Giants.

David Williams rookie

Durham Smythe rookie

Austin Proehl rookie

Aaron Rodgers base. The base cards are bold to the eye for sure.

Bradley Chubb Introductions insert. Really liked the shine and design of it. Too bad it hadn't been Saquon or Lamar.

Finally another insert, Late Game Heroes. Nice card. I like the design, photography and shine.

Thanks for the mail day Billy and keep doing what you are doing over at Cardboard History. I always look forward to the next post. If any of you reading this haven't checked out his blog, do so and make yourself jealous of all of his wonderful work.
