Nice page everyone!

Starting to get into the Black Diamond parallels [anything early foil in general]

and saw this highly in-demand 'players' coach' for a steal

Thanks! Still new to looking so not totally sure on that, but guessing the stars will mostly be locked away, yeah.

Sorry, they aren't super high quality but a couple of '99-00 Paul Pierce Inserts: Metal Scoring Magnets and Hoops Decade Up Tempo (much more reflective/nicer in person).

I am loving the Shaq and Kobe cards on the last 2 pages. Let me hop on that train with a Christmas special. Thou they are not as rare as the recent RR54 monsters.

I am not sure if POG is used on these boards, but POG those masterpieces, and Fleer Metal? Man, that was my favorite set growing up. Props.

I dont really collect much basketball, but have been grabbing Topps Chrome RCs of late 90s and early 00s studs and having a blast doing it. The designs were so clean back then, its a real shame Topps is out of the game. I also have a couple raw copies that are going to PSA.

Had it for years. Came across it in a bargain bin at a card shop and immediately knew it was pretty unique. Shop owner thought it was from a European release.

Wow, that's really interesting and cool! Does it have one of Upper Deck's signature shiny holographic dots on the back, like the regular silver and gold versions?

I have a similarly interesting specimen in my collection, ironically from the same year of Upper Deck (albeit the Collector's Choice line), where I'm not sure about the origins of this radically shiny card (which does not have a shiny holographic dot on the back, so causes me to wonder if it might be some kind of aftermarket release):

nothing crazy, but got this a few months ago for $15 sight unseen and it was actually nearly perfect and I was happy with the grade.

This was one of my first match ups I remember from when I really started getting in to basketball.

I picked these up a long time ago. Name:  IMG_20200616_213916_105.jpg

Yeah, I believe it was the single insert for an International release. I may be wrong, but if memory serves me correctly it was actually not 94/95 but a 95/96 Collectors Choice Int. release!

Interesting! Does each player in the set have a holographic version?
