I've got 197 David Robinson Cards w/ no duplicates, but my favorite is an unopened pack of HOOPS back when you could see the top and bottom cards in each pack, this one has Robinsons Rookie on the front and Jordans card for that year on the back. Though I still pick up some David Robinsons & Tim Duncans occasionally, I think that the Card companies have ruined the market, at least for basketball. Their used to be about 4 Major Companies that would put out a regular set for each year & a High End set. You would pay 2.95 for 15 cards on the regulars (Topps, Skybox, Upperdeck) &
4.00 for 10 cards (Topps Finest, Skybox Emotions, etc). Now there are twice as many companies, they each have 5 different sets, the price of a pack is like 8.00 for 4 cards for a one in a million chance at an autograph of somebody other than Elden Cambell.
When I was a kid I would get ten bucks and run up to the card shop and leave with a handfull of cards. Now it barely gets you one pack. Thats why kids are resorting to pokemon & yugio cards.
