How is it not being honest? It's an opinion...just because you think it's ugly doesn't make your opinion fact

Huh? Isn’t liking the photo completely subjective? Even if you hate it, it’s still an action shot instead of posing with or just holding the ball.

I actually love the more off-kilter photos of MJ, it’s part of the reason why his Rave Review has always been my favorite insert of his.

Matter of fact, time to pick up the base /3999 version of this…

Cool, i'll message you if I find any other cards where MJ's butt or Kobe's crotch is the focal point.

You’re a strange fella. Stop making 1997 Fleer Ultra Shawn Kemp roll in his cardboard grave.

He's just a jerk troll who craps on everyone's personal stories or card pickups for fun

Its just an opinion. These photos are fine.

Ill say this though, Anyone that doesnt like the AI photo from his Topps/Chrome RC has issues.

I was mainly replying to the “why can’t people be honest?” part of this.

As if people can only praise the card because of the rarity of the parallel.

Kevin McHale/Bernard King was a "butt beast", then fade-away, splat!

Ah yes, the King. His Royal Buttness.

I think they picked out photos to fit the S look to the design. I know the KG photo fits it perfectly.



Kobe and MJ pretty much the same.

A truly awesome set and I wish I had a black version.

Exactly. Yet another reason why their photos work so well here.

I actually went through the checklist a while ago to see if this was the case with every card of the subset - it’s close enough.

The only thing ugly about that Jordan is the condition. You could look at almost any Panini insert and criticise it more than this deserves.

Yeah, condition isn’t the greatest but being /25 I can’t complain

I’m late to this thread but the OP’s cards are awesome.
Congratulations on the pick ups.

Within a few days you should be congratulating him on the sales.

I was able to sell a few other things so will likely just hold onto these

[TimBuckTwo]

How much? Car, house, yacht level?

[nabzy28]

Pics don't do these things justice. The rainbow foil / accents on the black background just pops. They did these to /10 in football and I was able to add a Brady a couple months ago, for well under the 'boom' sales, of which I think there were two that I could find. Was collecting back then and actually had no idea these versions existed. Great cards and am a fan of both the MJ and Kobe. I'd keep them, too.

They do pop in hand for sure! I've never seen the football version. Can you share a pic of the Brady? I just checked on ebay and couldn't find anyone.

EDIT - just found it. Those are sweet!

Ummm no, keep reaching. Looks like you don't hesitate to insult people though, look in the mirror first before trying to talk down to others.
