TAB1980’s MASSIVE Random Pack Break (Win Prizes)!

[Brendan_B]

Hitting that Power in the Key would have been pretty sweet!

It was amazing. I can’t recall what I did with my NBA cards as I only collected for a few years. Rugby League and Cricket were always my favourites so I assume I traded what I had for NRL. I had a sweet little Isaiah Rider PC for a time, the East Bay Funk Dunk was epic !!

 

[Brendan_B]

Are you sure you don't want to be in the prize draw?

I felt a bit bad going in as I don’t collect NBA anymore. Didn’t want to be that guy who goes in for free cards !!

Not at all mate. You've made a great contribution to this thread already! I'm throwing you in!

I've got a $3 Isaiah Rider auto due back in my next shipment from SMC. How the mighty have fallen.

i just can’t do the green - seeing Kobe and now even KG Finest turning green just breaks my heart - zero urge to have one

Unopened packs might be the way to go to get a non-greeny

Unopened packs might be the way to go to get a non-greeny

but once they get oxygen or light they go green anyway?
thees been some theories on the process they were made by and why they go green but no definitive answers
Sucks so hard

I'm sure i've seen them come out of packs green...

 

[Billyhoyle]

those early 90 packs are so good. So many memories and such great photos.
Also the memories of the stats and stories on the backs of them!

Yeah, noone really knows, so I just bought them green

yep! And get graded not green and turn green - so brutal! That’s why I haven’t got a KG Finest RC anymore
I might have to get a non green graded one and keep it out of sunlight or something - I dunno!

Starting the Shaq rc hunt soon....

 

[TAB1980]

1992-93 Fleer Ultra

One of these is a series 1 pack

 

[TAB1980]

1992-93 Fleer Ultra - Always loved the look of this design even though i guess green is a pretty odd choice of colour. The backs of the cards are almost just as cool as the front. No Shaq here unfortunately!

 

[TAB1980]

1992-93 Fleer

 

[TAB1980]

1992-93 Fleer - I'm on the board with the first Shaq rc! I actually like this set... more specifically the player's names in their teams colours.

1992-93 Hoops

 

[TAB1980]

1992-93 Hoops - Nice set. I like the base card design with the players name in team colours and running vertically down the side of the card. Also a fan of the gold rookie card design. That said, i think i prefer the 1991-92 set.

1992-93 Topps

(2 of these packs are series 1)
