1991-1992 Upper Deck Basketball High Series

91-92 Upper Deck:  1991-1992 would be the start of a successful run for Mitch Richmond with the Kings after three seasons in Golden State as a member of Run TMC.  Man, could this guy shoot.  He hit 38% of his 3's in his 14-year career.
I've always liked Alvin Robertson and Walter Davis.  Davis is a Hall of Famer and 2X All-NBA who averaged 18.9 points per game across 14 seasons.  Alvin Robertson was a 1X All-NBA, 3X steals champ, Defensive Player of the Year and 6X All-Defensive team selectee in 10 years.  He is also the all-time leader for career steals per game with 2.7.
The High Series backs are the same as the low series 91-92 Upper Deck cards.  The packs contain cards from both series and Jerry West autographs are possible though rare.  I'm a big fan of this set. 
Draft Pick cards are solid, but John Turner only played one season in the NBA.
I like the horizontal cards but I'm not sure Upper Deck did Scott Brooks any favors with this photo.  He looks to be out of control.  Brooks went on to win 521 games as a head coach, most notably with OKC from '08 - '15.
Hersey Hawkins does not look happy by Kevin Johnson's defense in the All-Star Game.  I love All-Star Game cards with actual in game photos.  Hawkins was another amazing shooter who hit 39% of his threes across 13 seasons.

BREAKDOWN:
15 – Total Cards
1 – NBA Draft
1 – All-Star Team

1991-1992 Upper Deck Basketball Locker

1991-1992 Upper Deck Basketball Locker:  I've seen these lockers at card shows in the past but I decided to grab one at last months card show in St. Louis.  There were six lockers in the series with mine being #6.  Each had a different photo of Michael Jordan on the side.  This is a great set with Upper Deck nailing it with their first basketball set.  This Drexler has a great photo of Drexler about to lay it in in after what I'd think was him stealing the ball.  Karl Malone is flat footed in the back ground on the other end of the court.
These team checklists are a big highlight of the set for me.  I love the art Upper Deck put on these cards across the different Upper Deck sets.  There were more than one per pack in my pull which seemed out of the norm but I'm OK with that.
A few of the stars I pulled.  Drexler makes another appearance in the Karl Malone card.
A few good rookies in this pack.  Would have liked to have seen Dee Brown doing a dunk.
A few of the NBA Draft cards.  The clothing styles takes me back!
A few personal collection guys.

This is what the lockers look like (not my photo).  I busted an entire box in the past and would probably do it again if given the chance.  I really like this set.
This is the only hologram I pulled but it is of a great player and PC guy.  I was really happy with how this card scanned.  This locker was fun and brought back a lot of fun memories.

BREAKDOWN:
