This thread is literally a walk down memory lane !! So good !!
I recall one frosty winters morning at the Rocklea Markets in Brisbane where Dad had a stall. This place was a Mecca for loose NBA packets in the mid 90’s (probably all searched but a kid doesn’t know these things). Anyways, 94/95 Skybox, Robinson and Pippen Revolution in the one packet. I think these were one of the major hits for the release, the stall holder offered me $50 on the spot for the GR, so cool !!

Amazing set - shame about the green
1993-94 Topps Finest - What a game changing set this was when it came out! The first chrome cards! Great looking set and @Lippo @GarnettFan4Life ... greening straight out of the pack! Either that, or Zo has some pretty funky looking sunscreen or something going on!

Just loving the photos and designs. Such a good era
Off to a great start with a Grant Hill insert with only just 1 pack!
The base cards in this set have that distinctly Fleer look at the time. Similar to the previous year with a different font and much sharper looking colours behind the names. Hard to do this set much justice though with just one pack. The Grant Hill insert design is ok without being anything outstanding.
1994-95 Upper Deck SP - Very different set for its time this one with the use of foil, die cuts and holograms which would become fairly iconic for a lot of SP and SPx sets.
I think this set is a little underrated. The only thing i don't really like is the team names at the bottom rather than team logo's... looks a little odd to me.
One thing i'm really enjoying about opening these 90's packs is that it's not all about how much value i'm getting in return. It's nice feeling excited about hitting a cool card like that Hill insert even though it might only be worth a few dollars.

Chased this card so hard at the time - it was like Jordan, Penny, Shaq, Kemp and Hill and Kidd - MUST GET THEIR CARDS lol
Lol, and then i just go and pull it out of 1 pack!
1994-95 Fleer Flair - This was our first introduction to thicker, premium card stock and Fleer did an awesome job with this and all of their Flair sets at the time! Tim Hardaway gets in the pic because i'm a Warriors fan and he was one of my favourite players at the time!

Is @GarnettFan4Life going to declare this as his favourite set design ...
