The timing of finding this pack of NBA cards feels really ironic...don't 'cha think? Topps Treasure, a money themed set at a time when millionaires are complaining about money and revenue sharing. I'm still not sure why I picked this pack up out of the discount bin @ Target, but I did so I might as well share the packs contents.
The first card out of the pack was right off the front of the pack...Larry Bird. OK, not off to a bad start here.
I know this is an unorthodox design to use for a trading card set, but I like it for some reason. Not a bad 3 players. I remember seeing Ben Gordon light up the Bobcats in the past.
The last card of the pack was a surprise. A Gold Refractor of Vince Carter, numbered 13/50. I think the pack odds listed this as 1:900 something packs. I like shiny cards and Vince did play @ Carolina so I'm tempted to just keep the card. Are Vince Carter cards even in demand anymore?
This was the only pack of this set in the $1.59 box and I haven't seen anymore...although I haven't really looked very hard since I'm not a huge NBA fan...especially at the moment with the lockout going on. That said I may have to eventually look for some of the Bobcats players and their Refractor versions as this gold version is really nice looking.

Sweet Carter. I picked up a pack at Target a couple weeks ago, only mine was terrible.
ReplyDeleteThat was a nice pack for the money.
ReplyDeleteNow if I can only find someone that will take the Carter Refractor off my hands.
ReplyDeleteYou need a stack of Vince Carters? I have some. Hope you like the Raptors.
ReplyDeleteNah, don't need to start collecting (more) basketball cards Josh.
