Today's venture into cards from the lot, take us into basketball mostly, and a familiar look...
Classic Collector's Choice design, and a nice start with David Robinson and end with Dee Brown. I had a friend in high school who loved Dee Brown and always wanted to play like him - only reason I know the name Dee Brown. Then we turn over some of the cards...
As you can see, multiple languages so okay...I'm no language major so off to TCDB we go. My first guess was German, and lo and behold, it is.
Definitely unusual, and cool at the same time. Not cards I ever would have come across otherwise.
Next set up...
Again, classic 1995-96 Upper Deck design - it is really nice in some ways, when the company uses the same design across products.
Sweet - we even get a cameo from the reason I watched NBA Inside Stuff through the 90s - the only time I really kept up with it much at all - sorry Ahmad, it was Willow I watched for!
Oh...and we end with...
I remember Dee Brown from his dunk contest win. He covered his eyes with one arm while dunking with the other, the first contestant to try a "no-look" slam. He was one-upped the next year by Cedric Ceballos, who nearly ran the length of the court to dunk while wearing a blindfold.
ReplyDeleteNBA Inside Stuff was a great show. Loved Willow Bay.
ReplyDeletePancake blocks. Ha.
ReplyDeleteMy foreign language card stash is kind of weak, though I have a few.
The two David Robinsons win this round. Both are a bit unusual for a center. Driving from the outside like a guard and shooting a baseline jumper like a forward.
