3 Duncan
4 Queef Van Horn
2 Chauncey
3 TMac

Minted in Springfield Parallel 1:9
Kelvin Cato RC
Danny Fortson RC

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 is part of Blowouts old school mix? Any Upper Deck? 03-04 product?

Im taking them out 1 at a time, but so far and from what I have seen elsewhere, it is all topps.

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

Stephon Marbury (they'll win a championship together someday, you'll see)

Critical Component 1:5
Steve Nash

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...

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.
