Most Iconic 1990s Basketball Rookie Card?

[WilyWestbrook0]

Either Shaq's short-printed Upper Deck or Kobe's Chrome. Shaq-mania was huge for the basketball hobby, and that was/is the RC card to get, although it's much cheaper and easier to find these days (I got one for a huge discount last week myself). Kobe's Chrome wasn't huge at first, but that is the one to get now.

I totally forgot about Kevin Garnett. His Finest rookie card was hot for a long time so I definitely should have mentioned that one at least.

do you mean KEVIN GARNETT?

Yeah, I'll blame that on the auto-correct on the iPad. Post revised.

I'm going with the Kobe Chrome rookie as well. Stunning card!!!

Though the Kobe chrome was the best in the second half of the 90's, I would say the Hoops shaq redemption would be in the first half of the 90's. Still have most of my shaq rcs, shame I traded most of my kobes.

I remember the Kobe finest being looked at as being holy grail when I was in school and I also remember the Kevin Garnett being looked at it in the same way.

While the Shaq craze was awesome, and the KG, Hill, Penny Finest's and Vince's SPA were hot cards, I still have to go with the Mamba Chrome.

kobe topps chrome refractor rc will be the no 1. 2nd best maybe o'neal 92-93 UD RC, 3rd best maybe Duncan topps chrome ref rc

Did everyone forget about Allen Iverson topps chrome. I know that the price of that card has dwindled down to $20 or less,but when Iverson was the man that was my favorite card. Mid 90's anyway.

As far as the early 90's, Beam Team Shaq!!! I was the foolish kid that kept trading his vintage baseball cards for packs of Stadium Club. MISTAKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I got the Shawn Bradley though!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL
