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

90-91 Hoops:  Another six packs of this classic set.  And this time we have the GOAT kicking it off.  Not starting an argument but Michael Jordan is the greatest of all-time in my opinion.  I got to watch him so much and dude was an assassin on the court.  I think he and Larry Bird had some of the same mentality/makeup that allowed him to be amazing on the court and take their game to another level when need be.  This is a great shot on the card.
Opening six packs at a time you'll never get cheated.  These three Hall of Famers are greatness personified in their own ways.  So many amazing players in this set and the good design make for a winner in my book.
Love these All-Star cards.  In game photos take it to another level. Love the All-Star weekend logo as well.
All three of these guys had solid careers.  Elliott and Robinson went on to be all-stars while Robinson also received two all-defensive nods and was named the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year one season.  He unfortunately passed away in 2020.
Great coaches in this set.  Jone's tenure in Seattle was short at 118 games.  
The backs were just as fun as the front.  College stats, NBA stats, and a really good write-up.  Thank you Hoops.
Some of my favorite players.  I'll say it again Dale Ellis would have been really good today.  He was not only a great shooter but was also a scorer at heart.  I think he would have filled up the stats sheet.  Might not play any defense but still.  Detlef Schrempf's range would also play really well today but he isn't the scorer that Ellis was.
Three outstanding guards from back in the day.  And The Admiral showing off that signature style of his jumper.  Love these great players and cards.

  2. Nothing like seeing some early 1990s basketball cards. This is definitely a very well recognized set of that time frame.
