@@Al-ImprovEd2022 I back in the 90 many poeple did collect basketball cards. I was like 7 or 8 years old and all my friends did collect. That was a great time. I collected Pippen and Vince when he came into the league but the hype went down when MJ Retired. I think 2002 was the time i wasnt collecting anymore. Nowaday i cant even buy cards here in my local store.. they sell Magic cards and stuff but they said Basketball cards are too expensive so kids cant afford them anymore..
I have busted about 10 or more hobby ebay boxes of this product ! No autos and they are very hard to pull ! I did pull two or three Atomic Refractors Mourning, Starks ( like your one ) and I forget the other ? I did pull the refractor version of Fusion insert to 50 of Shaq and big country and had it graded by Beckett at 9.5 ! You did briefly show off the to 25 version in your video. Cards do have a nice glossy coat but a lot of my packs were a bit curled up and not all were flatly sharp so maybe heat or sunlight plays a part in that ?
@@90sbballcards Hi mate, I just busted four packs of Flair showtime 98 99 and found a legacy collection Jason Williams vertical (55) showcase 70 of 99 insert ! It had came from a sealed box I had bought 6 plus years ago and I saved the a few packs thinking that I had pulled all the best ones as I did pull a Legacy to 99 Damon Stoudamire and a few inserts numbered to 6000 and 3000 etc ! I know that the legacies were not published on how many boxes they were inserted etc but iv'e herd averages of one in 3 boxes or so ! To get two legacies in one box was pretty good luck ! I dug throw all my old cards and found sealed topps finest 93 94 and flair 97 98 as well as 98 99. I sold packs online of finest but decided to open the flairs as they might have Jordan and Kobe commons etc !
I'm a Topps Chrome guy first but I love Bowman's Best too because of the variety of interesting things that can be pulled. The early years of Chrome didn't really have that.
Raleigh Al I’m enjoying Project 2020. I bought 1 of the Frank Thomas cards and May grab some others if they catch my eye. I’d would be ALL IN for a 🏀 project!
@@90sbballcards damb my first pack had 1 Refractor i could see it throuhg the foil lol.. gary payton though. I had 1 franchise best of Keith, 2 Best Performers (TD and Grant Hill) and 2 of the die cuts (Iverson/Penny).. and The VC rookie.. nothing special
How do you think Bowman’s Best stacks up against Topps Chrome from the 90s?
Those atomics are gorgeous. The Hakeem is on my wishlist. This cracked type of desig reminds of the Z-force Rave Review inserts.
Yup. Just like the Rave Reviews. So sweet!
Man..i still remember pulling vince carter auto from that set(regular version)..sold it for 200$ then...was a crazy pull then
WHOA! That was a HUGE card early in his career.
In Germany Karstadt :), was the Retail Packs in my childhood for 23 DM :) for 3 Cards in a Pack.
Sven Rost ya. These weren’t cheap back in the day. Not the most expensive but not a bargain brand.
Do people collect a lot in Germany Sven? And which sports ? I would think b-ball is more popular than US football.

Sly Germany interesting. If you want me to send a few cards you’re way let me know.
I love that Vince Carter. He is the only player I PC. Unfortunately, I cant afford to buy rookies.
His RC have seen a long overdue uptick
Would you be interested in trading? i have a lot of older stuff. I have been bummed this year about not being able to find or afford packs.
Great stuff man! You should run for president!
Connor Kasler hahah thank you. I’m a few years away from eligibility
Eligibility/Sanity is no longer a factor!😄
Loved the 1 in Good Luck for the Veteran Atomic autos 😂
Francisco Gonzalez hahaha I’m glad you got a chuckle out of it. The odds are INSANE. Prices don’t reflect it unless it’s Kobe or Duncan tho 🤷♂️

tosen stardom wow. Those are some nice pulls. Yes the autos are SO SO rare! The hobby packs I had were a bit curved as well

Cool video man! Keep 'em coming!
Thank you very much
Good to see you pull a nice rookie!
I was happy to see that one too!
I love this product. The Vince and Duncan Atomic Refractors Autos are Grails for me.
those Atomic Refractors are incredible!
Your videos can't be good for my health. Extremely high levels of nostalgia every time haha.
Flick It Cards Hahahaha nostalgia overload. It’s ok if we get a little misty eyed thinking about days gone by 😉

I agree. The refractors in Bowman make it!
I personally like Bowman better. Just picked up refractors. Looking for atomics as well.
Yes. The Atomic refractors make it!
@@90sbballcards Ya base wise Chrome is king. Those atomic refractors though!!!
I’ve never seen these. What do you think of topps 2020 Jake? And if they did it for b-ball, what would that be like!

Nice insert atleast you have malone..more to go
Next time we will get more 🔥!
I like the Topps Chrome cards, but the chrome finish is known to turn green over time.
Michael Webb yes. It is interesting that Bowman cards seem to turn green less than the chrome and finest cards 🤔
Is there anything one can do to avoid the topps chrome cards from turning green?
Not that I know of. but maybe one day we will figure out that secret!
ah Bowman... the select of the 90's...
Haha I think that’s a great comparison!
Isn't he 2nd on the all time leaderboards for scoring..., not good but not bad with ya card packs
simon wilson yeah. I think he may get bumped down on that scoring list sooner than later
I personally like Bowman's Best better.
Oooo. I feel like it’s becoming a trend!
I wanna buy a box but it costs 350$ u think its worth it?
Honestly. the current price of a box is a bit steep to me. I thought $200 was too much a year ago.
@@90sbballcards i couldnt hold back myself and orderen a box.. maybe i get a VC Autograph or Redractor or both.. thise inserts are crazy tbh
