Random Wax: 1990-1991 Hoops Basketball (6 Packs)

1990-1991 Hoops:  Tons of basketball moves going on the last few weeks as free agency kicked off.  Karl Malone moved once as a free agent at the end of his career.  He played one year with the Lakers chasing a ring he was never able to get.  Still dude was nothing short of a stud in the NBA.
With six packs you'll have plenty of star power and these packs are no difference.  Zeke and McHale headline these three but don't sleep on how good Walter Davis was with Phoenix.  The man could shoot and score.
Mookie Blaylock rocking what I think is the greatest Nets jersey of all-time. 
All-Star cards are great especially when done this well.  Actual game photos are awesomeness.Good on you Hoops.  Good on you.  
A young Phil Jackson.  The Bulls would win the first of their Championships in 1991 starting a long run of dominance.
Good on Hoops for all the stats they'd give you including college stats.  And all-start game stats?  Win.  Buck is my #2 all-time favorite player while Larry Joe Bird and "Four Four Four" are also favorites of mine.
Sikma's mid-range jumper and passing skills would have played well today.  Great packs and even more fun. Love opening this old basketball wax.

BREAKDOWN:
90 – Total Cards (6 Packs)
8 – All-Star
6 – Rookie

  1. This is a great set! You used to be able to find full boxes for like $10 in the late 90s.

    1. You're so right and I love picking these up assuming they're "reasonable".

  2. As much as I disliked the Celtics back in the day... I was always excited to pull a Bird from a pack of cards. Pretty cool that they filled up space on some of the cards with college stats.

    1. I really didn't like the Celtics back then. They kicked Atlanta's butt way too much. But once Bird retired I did a 360 and I'm now a big fan.

    1. That's great. I didn't know Davis' nickname. Love it. I also had to lok up Never Nervous but I should have known that one.
