1990-1991 Skybox Basketball: Another break from that Amazon basketball pack lot purchase. I love this set. It screams 80s/early 90s but I dig it. Pulling The Admiral is icing on the cake. He looked so smooth on the court for a seven footer.
Orlando Woolridge is a guy I always liked. While defense wasn't the name of his game dude could score. I also liked Walter Davis and Kiki. Kiki was another score first/"what is defense?" guy. Walter Davis is a player that was very consistent and so good during his career. He was 2 X All-NBA, 6 X All-Star and Rookie of the Year so I wouldn't say he was underrated but he is a guy we should all appreciate more.
Gerald wasn't near as good as older brother Dominique Wilkins but still a solid player who was also good on the defensive end of the floor. Terry Porter was a huge part of those great Trail Blazer teams. He could shoot, dish and was an excellent overall floor general. This was a fun pack and trip down memory lane.
BREAKDOWN:
15 - Total Cards
Are you still looking for the team logo cards from this set? I found a stack of them in a random box. If so, which ones do you need?
ReplyDeleteThat Admiral is awesome. He was so popular collectors didn't just want his rookie card, they also bought his 2nd year cards like this one... and especially his 90-91 Fleer Rookie Sensations insert.
ReplyDeleteP.S. Kinda looks like Woolridge is dribbling with both hands.
