1996 NBA Hoops Series 1
I have never collected older cards, but when I saw some dust covered sealed boxes of this 96-97 NBA hoops, it made me wonder. So, I asked the shopowner, and he said he would sell it for 59 cents a pack. Extremely cheap, and Kobe's RC year. My question revolves around possible insert cards. Looking through BEckett, there is a Kobe Bryant "Grant's All Rookies" that books for $160. Is this card in series 1? I can buy 4 boxes of this stuff, for less than $50. Is it worth the chase? Or shuld I leave it alone?

Yeah, the Kobe " "Grant's All Rookies" is VERY RARE RC card of Kobe, and you could easily sell it for $120-$130 during the playoffs, if you can find it. For $50, I say why not, at the very least you'll complete a base set the features vintage 90's players like Jordan, Pippen, Barkley, Ewing, etc. So why not.

If you don't know how the card looks like, here's a pic, it looks a lot better in person: http://i41.photobucket.com/albums/e259/jeebus_86/Card%20Collection/Kobe%20PC/RCs/DSC02383.jpg

i would def buy 4 of those boxes for 50 bucks..it's definitely worth it....i would try to get the best kobe possible and send it in to get graded.....besides that you also have shots at getting the first autographics every produced......as i kid, the fist ever auto i pulled was a byron scott autographics from a pack of this stuff.....it would be a great buy :)

You know what, I double checked, and these cards were actually inserted in the Series 2 box.

Here are the set notes:
Randomly inserted in all series two packs at a rate of one in 360, this 11-card set features the SkyView technology as Grant Hill selects his picks for the best rookies from the 1996-97 class. Despite no serial numbering, the stated print run for the set was 996 of each card.

Well, I bought two packs, just to get a feel for what these cards were like. They were all stuck together. (Not sticky...just pressed) So, I just slightly bent them and they all seperated. They are pretty plain looking cards, but I can't complain.
Thanks for the heads up on those cards being in Series 2. Im glad i didnt buy them now. I left before your response. But, I feel like i did pretty good with these 2 packs. Theyre old...but I pulled a "Hoops Head to Head" Jordan/Pippen card that is #'d HH2. Pretty cool insert. Not bad for $1.70

Not to bad. Yeah, back when I was kid, pulling any Jordan card from a pack felt like pulling his auto now. LOL! Man, have times changed...

Heck, I'd buy a box of it even thought the Grants All Rookies aren't in there - there are a few nice subsets still! Hoops Head to Head (which is what you pulled the MJ/Pippen of), Hoops HIPnotized, Hoops Rookie Headliners and Hoops Superfeats are all in there, and each set not counting HIPnotized has at least one card with a minimum value of $15 or so. So, if you can get a whole box for $12.50, I'd grab it!
