It's Day 12 of NBA week and I've got one more post for you before the basketball content comes to a close. In case you missed it I discussed the Phoenix Suns, Gheorghe Mureșan, and Reggie Lewis over at The 1993.
Here at the flagship, NBA week tipped off with an All-Star squad of recent Second Round draft picks (Including Khris Middleton.) We discussed the card-less 1982-83 NBA season and reviewed Fleer and Hoops offerings from 1989-90.
The seventh post of the series will focus on my favorite active basketball player. You may be familiar with my favorite retired stars since they are popping up frequently in the PWEs I've received so far. Two more arrived this week, one from Dennis (Too Many Verlanders) which was heavy on 1999-00 Ultra and players I collect:
...and one from AJ (the Lost Collector), which was a lot more random.
I'm always happy to increase my player PC count but I do love a good potpourri PWE. Thank you Dennis and AJ!
These arrived from Sportlots. I've mentioned all of them except the Sean Elliott in previous NBA Week posts.
Now that you've seen what I've received so far in this PWE Swap Meet, it's time to discuss what I'll be sending. I'm preparing up to 40 12-card PWE strips for claiming, but I have a question: should I group some PWEs by team, by set, by year, or by brand? Or would you prefer random samplings of various sets? Most of the 3-pocket pages will be one-sport, so if you want baseball you'll get 12 baseball cards - not some hidden hockey from 1991 lol.
Let me know what you think. I will probably scan and post the PWEs for you to claim on Saturday at noon. Hopefully that works for everyone involved.
Thanks for reading, and Gooo Suns! ;P

My demands are as follows:
ReplyDelete1. Verticals only. No ho cards.
2. No fake autos.
3. Player name readable on the front.
4. No sucky players. (So no Cowboys or Celtics. Or Dodgers.)
5. A freshly-fueled plane with a pilot who will fly me to a country that doesn't have an extradition treaty with the U.S.
lol. I'll have that plane ready to go at midnight.
DeleteI definitely missed the players you collect part. Sorry for the randomness!
ReplyDeleteDon't be, it was just what I had in mind when I started the swap meet :)
DeleteI just finished sorting my basketball (mostly 90's stuff)... so I'll be sending some Rockets and Pacers your way (maybe this weekend?).
ReplyDeleteI've got a big box of basketball cards (and some baseball) headed your way soon!
ReplyDeleteI always enjoy a random mix of baseball.
ReplyDeleteI think a mix of teams and randoms would work
ReplyDeleteGlad you could use what I sent. I know comparatively little about basketball but still have a bit left of what my brother and I collected in the late 90s/early 2000s, plus a bit of recent stuff, and now I have a list of guys you collect that I can look for at shows!
