This Kobe is quite the looker :





Also graded the Lebron in the same submission:





Kobe is #ed 50/50 but the 5 seemed a bit harsh.



MJ is super tough- highest graded:

Great collage.

And I love seeing Tempered Steel, we can still call designs underrated right?

1994-95 and 1995-96 Holoviews are two of my favorite insert sets ever made.

Here's a few....



Plus some other UD Fav's from the same era - the last I believe is a Euro CC release using their Holoview design...

1994 Magic's all rookie team was my favorite. Didn't like it when they changed them to Grant's all rookie team.

Can you imagine if some of the 90s BASE card designs were used as inserts today? Ppl would be going crazy for them.

1997 SPx - love the foil and hologram combo
1996 EX
1998 EX
1998 SPx Finite Spectrum - parallel I know, but very cool

Make any of those a case hit and they would be way more popular than Kaboom and any "town" inserts.

Thanks... I take them on my kitchen counter with an iPhone. We've got lots of LED's (set to 5000K) on a dimmer, so I can play with it to get best brightness... That's about it...



P.S. If you see a wood background, I probably took those in AM sunlight to get a better light angle for Holoviews, Atomic Refractors, etc..

Once you notice Shawn Kemp on the cards you can't unsee it. That's why I don't like the 1994.

Sadly... Like a basketball sat on by JB Pritzker... My collection has no Air

The 96-97 Molten Metal cards are overlooked IMO. Those are pretty sharp.
