90-91 Fleer Basketball: I'm surprised I've never done a pack of these before. No better place to start than Larry Legend on this All-Star card which fell 1:5 packs. It's a nice set but only 12 cards though all but one player are in the Hall of Fame.
Always a great pull when my all-time favorite player (Nique) is in the pack. Oakley and Parish aren't scrubs either.
My bad. I screwed up this scan but the cards are scattered now in different boxes so I'll just roll with it. We still get to see that great write-up on the back of Birds All-Star card.
These three were all solid players in their day though Curry's claim to fame is probably being Steph's father though he shot 40% from 3 for his career. Nothing to sneeze at. Detlef Schrempf is listed as a guard but not sure he ever played as one. Dude was a great shooter and would be a really good stretch four or wing in today's game. Another all-time favorite of mine. Fun pack and good pull. Can't beat that.
BREAKDOWN:
15 – Total Cards
1 – Fleer All-Stars
This was my favorite set as a kid. It's appeal has waned slightly over the years, but I still like it quite a bit though.
ReplyDeleteI like it too. could be better but very solid and one I won't shy away from.
DeleteThat pack would have been a winner for me. I collect the Celtics big three of the 1980s and early 90s. Great looking Bird and Parrish cards.
ReplyDeleteI can throw Parrish in your stack.
DeleteI've never been a big fan of 90/91 Fleer... but I built the set back in the day (b/c I worked at a card shop and had access to set fillers). On the other hand, I love the All-Star inserts. Love the bright blue and yellow borders.
ReplyDeleteNot a design I'd say is great but I know I picked up quite a bit of it back in the day as well. I really like what they did with the All-Star design as well.
DeleteHuman Highlight Film wins it.
ReplyDelete(At the top it says 12 cards, but at the bottom it says 15.)
I meant 12 cards in the All-Star set. I should have clarified. You can never go wrong with Nique!
