1997/98 Metal Universe # 21 Mason, Anthony Precious Metal Gems Green '010 of 100'
A must have card for any collection, a Precious Metal Gems Green. Hope to have one day this card of Dell Curry...

1992/93 Fleer Team Night Sheet # NNO Hugo Regular Card
A rare card of the Hornets mascot Hugo, I really love to see him perform. Unfortunately he wasn't featured in Topps Total...

1998/99 Stadium Club # 2 Geiger, Matt One of a Kind '052/150'
What's up with this card, why Top 10? Yes it is jersey numbered, but what makes it even better: I pulled it for myself!

2004/05 Fleer Showcase # 9 of 15HH Davis, Baron Hot Hands
One of only a handful of simply rare none Game Used and Autographed Hornets inserts with a great die cut design.

2000/01 Fleer Mystique # 93 Mason, Anthony Masterpiece '1 of 1'
This one was the first Masterpiece I ever had in my Hornets collection. Special thanks to a French collector, who made this possible.

1998/99 E-X Century # 74 Davis, Ricky Essential Credential Future '15/17'
Really like the E-X Credentials, especially the older ones. Back in the days I traded a big lot of JaWill RCs for this beauty, I think it was a great deal...

Finally after 9 Years Upper Deck made the impossible possible, they created the first Hornets Jambalaya insert. Unfortunately they weren't able to feature Peja in his Hornets Uni (like on all of his other cards in the 06/07 E-X series). Anyway, I finally was able to add a Jambalaya to my Hornets collection.

I was a big fan of Delk in his Rookie Year but it took me about 10 years to pick this one up. Really like the "Atomic Refractor"-like foil in the background. Paired with the fact that these were only available through redemption, that makes a really nice collectible!

http://lilhornet.cwsurf.de/SCF/hornets/09.jpg
One of only a few Exquisite Cards in my collection and out of the first ever release! Was able to pick this one up for a bargain (paired with the David West RC) when there was no Exquisite hype yet.

Really liked the Silas coaching style. Since this is his only Hornets card (and even autographed), this one must be featured in the Top 10.
