You should be able to pick up cards of the lesser knowns for fairly cheap. Seen a few ebay auctions in the past with lots of various players which I don't imagine would be worth faking. I know a few collectors are going for PSA9+ of the whole set so there's a bit of competition for the higher...

So they basically want a volunteer to run and maintain a website, but they must see a photo of you first?

The fact that D.Rob and Ewing make multiple appearances show just how many great battles they had against each other. Could've included at least one fadeaway in this though. I'm sure a D.Rob highlights reel would have Hakeem coming off second best a few times too.

Anything post-97 Skybox and Fleer usually have some really nice hits, unfortunately though the odds are really long on most of them. Can't go wrong with Chrome, nice inserts, decent odds.

Yeah it looks great, should be out on DVD / blu some time soon I think since it was at Sundance January 2012. Once Brothers is a good doco to watch in the mean time, as well as this on the USA dreamteam from the same olympics.

Thanks for the support, looking back on completed ebay auctions, unfortunately most don't show the card number. What I was able to find is below, although none are particularly coveted. 1997-98 Finest Refractors #131 Hakeem Olajuwon S 0296 / 1090 1999-00 Finest Team Finest Blue Refractors #TF6...

Yeah it just seems a really weird thing to take, I'm guessing them all being in toploaders made them look expensive? A bag of that many basketball cards is pretty heavy too so it would have inhibited their ability to carry smaller more expensive items (ps3 + games + blurays untouched). I...

The thieves appear to either be junkies or kids so I expect they'll just try and move it as a bulk lot, there were no super expensive cards so I didn't record any edition numbers nor do I have any photos. Going to check out some local pawn stores over the week to see if anything turns up.

Hello OZCT members and potential sleuths. Unfortunately while away visiting family over the holidays I was victim to a break-in of my home. I wasn't surprised to find computers and cameras missing (I had backups and they're all replaceable luckily). What wasn't so replaceable was my only...

Vince Carter was probably the best in-gamer dunker, love me some good Barkley power slam though.

You're never going to be able to pick up those iconic inserts for cheap. So much competition for them not just from the PC guys but also with the set collectors. For me, I always have a max price in mind and that I won't go over. Mainly because I'm stubborn though but I'd rather not have the...

Nice choice, are you going to go for all his cards, or just limit yourself to the nicer inserts?

no, they are from the same source. Online prices are occasionally updated so the printed price won't necessarily be correct this time next year.

Hakeem leading the Rockets back-2-back for the 94-95 Championship with a finals MVP performance. Especially good because he monstered Robinson after he was given the regular season MVP.

Even if it was legit, it's damn ugly. Looks like they used the text effects from Word 97, just need to spruce it up with some clipart.
