....starting now
Box 1 1997-98 Topps Looks like the best card I can get is a Generations Refractor, 1:144

3 Kobe Base
1 MJ Base RC's 3 Duncan 4 Queef Van Horn 2 Chauncey 3 TMac Minted in Springfield Parallel 1:9 Kelvin Cato RC Danny Fortson RC Brevin Knight RC Bobby Jackson RC Top 40 1:12 Shawn Kemp (the fat Cavaliers version) Stockton Barkley New School 1:36 Antonio Daniels Inside Stuff 1:36 Kobe Clutch Time 1:36 Fat Kemp Generations Kobe And mostly importantly, 1 iconic RC of NBA legend Adonal Foyle. STRICTLY NFT, FOLKS Hard to do much better from this box, with two 1 per box Kobes and 4 of the parallel RC's. Hopefully I didn't use up all my Kobe luck with this one! ![]()

Box 2 is 1993-94 Stadium Club. I'm skipping that one for now.

Box 3, 2000-01 Topps Series 2
there's something called "MVP" that is 1:179, looks like an autograph or finals relic every 5 or so boxes.

3 Kobe Base
3 Kobe/Reggie Miller "Second Coming" Subset Rookies 1:5 Eddie House Eduardo Najera Lavor Postell Hanno Mottola Chris Carawell Michael Redd No Limit 1:6 Payton Darius Miles Truth Kidd Stromile Swift Shareef Abdur-Rahim Topps Combos 1:12 This Here Karl Malone Reggie Miller Marcus Fizer/Stromile Swift/Kenyon Martin Flight Club 1:18 Stackhouse TMac Cards that Never Were 1:18 82-82 Magic Johnson 91-92 Magic Johnson Rise to Stardom 1:36 Webber Topps MVP Promotion 1:179 Roshown McLeod Apparently the MVP promotion was a deal where they slapped a gold foil stamp on 100 base cards for each player. If the player you pulled won "MVP of the week", they sent you and MVP set. So apparently this is my first hit of the evening, even though I'm doubting McLeod ever racked up an "MVP of the week" honor. Last but not least, 1 beautiful RC of the electric Olumide Oyedeji. Jay Bilas says he's got big time upside, so I'll be hanging onto it for now. Topps probably doesn't look back on this set as its greatest effort - the base cards are boring, the RC's are SP'd, and the inserts are ugly ![]()

Box 4
1998-99 Topps Series 2 Looks like I could get an East/West Refractor 1:96, a Black Label 1:62, or a 1 per 100 boxes Red Label /100

This product was markedly better than 00-01 topps, even though it was released 2 years earlier.
RC's 4 Bibby 1 Antawn 2 Vince Carter 2 Larry Hughes 4 JWill (not the one who shot his limo driver in the face with a shotgun, not the one who crashed his motorcycle and is now a crappy college color guy, the white chocolate one) 4 Dirk 2 Truth 4 Peja 2 Al Harrington Kick Start 1:8 Kittles Vince Carter Kobe Bryant Classic Collection 1:8 Magic Bird Elgin Baylor Gold Label 1:10 Stephon Marbury Kobe East/West 1:24 Kemp/Vin Baker, call it the substance abuse connection Chrome 1:24 Sean Elliott Michael Jordan Last but not least, I found 3 copies of "aspiring christian music artist" Brent Price - easily my favorite card of the box. Even thought I was shafted a "coast to coast" insert, the inserts here are gorgeous. It is easy to see why Topps went for an entire "gold label" product the next year, and the "Kick Start" cards have a silver/metalic finish that would have today's old school collectors freaking out if they were limited in any sort of way. Does anybody know if the topps chrome are just the regular base from the chrome product itself, or is there a special version in regular topps? ![]()

Box 5
2005-06 Topps jumbo. Looks like I have a decent chance at an auto or GU, also some numbered parallels, one I've never heard of called "overtime border" that is 1:384

RC]s
Bogut Marvin Williams Deron Williams cp3 2 Felton 2 Bynum Granger Nate Robinson 2 David Lee All-Star Attitude 1:3 Grant Hill Manu Jermaine O'Neal Gilbert Arenas Versatile Velocity 1:5 KG Stephon Marbury (they'll win a championship together someday, you'll see) Critical Component 1:5 Steve Nash Tim Duncan Black Border /500 Elton Brand Lamar Odom Fran Vasquez RC Gold Border /99 Shaun Livingston The highlight of the break was definitely not my 2 Jenny McCarthy rookies, in which Topps must have forced her to put on more clothing than she's ever been photographed in before. Hopefully things will improve from here... ![]()

Base MJ
RC's Iverson Marbury Shareef Camby 2 Ray Allen Antoine Walker Derek Fisher Steve Nash Jermaine O'neal Kobe 2 Big Z ![]() Best shots 1:12 2 Big Penny Refractors 1:12 Jerry Stackhouse Retro Allen Iverson Retro Best Cuts 1:24 John Wallace Damon Stoudamire Atomic Refractors 1:24 Vin Baker Honor Roll 1:48 MJ/Hakeem ![]() Best Cuts Refractors 1:96 Ray Allen Best Cuts Atomic Refractors 1:192 Anfernee "Big Penny" Hardaway! ![]() Of course, the night would have been complete with out an appearance from the great Smackme Walker, of whom I now own my very own rookie card. This might just be the top of the mountain as far as old school collecting achievement.

yikes on the break, as long as you're happy though.
The only two other breaks on the forum so far had only Topps boxes as well.
