Lil Hornet - Dell Curry

[WilyWestbrook0]

Lil Hornet has earned the Super Collectors title for his player collection of Dell Curry. Mario has over 95% of Curry's 273 cards! He needs just 12 more of Curry's cards to own every single Curry card ever documented!

Status: 261/273 Cards
Autographs - 6/6
Rookie Cards - 1/1
1/1 - 1
#ed - 18

Here are his Top Ten cards!

1)

1996/97 SkyBox Premium # NNO Autographics Blue
It was the first autograph I ever had. Bought it as a black one, but it is definitely blue ... :o)

2)

1998/99 Upper Deck # 192 Gold '1/1'
My one and only Dell Curry Masterpiece (there are not that many produced until now) and one of only a few cards featuring Dell in the latest Charlotte Jersey (I like it most of all jerseys).

3)

1997/98 SkyBox Premium # 67SR Star Ruby '042 of 50'
The first Star Ruby in my entire collection. The Design is amazing, no need to say more...!!

4)

1996/97 Upper Deck # 167 Regular Card
I think the best pic of Dell Curry on a basketball card in one of the best subsets ever released (regarding the photos).

5)

1991 Classic Best # 27 Regular Card (Baseball)
The only Curry Baseball card, very unique piece of my collection.

6)

1996/97 Topps # NNO Super Teams
I really like that team pic!

7)

1988/89 Fleer # 14 Regular Card RC
His one and only RC. Must be a Top 10 card...

8)

1998/99 SkyBox Premium # 172 Star Ruby '07 of 50'
Another really nice looking card, simply Star Ruby!

9)

1999/00 Fleer Force # 86 Forcefield
Another nice off court picture. Really like those cards..

10)

1992 The Playmakers Collection # 514 Regular Card
The biggest card I have in my collection. Very strange item, but I like it...

Wow. GREAT collection of a great shooter. I shot around with him at a basketball clinic at the Charlotte Coliseum in 1992. SUPER nice guy. Stephen was there - he could barely talk. I should have gotten his auto in crayon back then.

wow, nice hornet's collection u have there, who is next..lol...Mugsy??? LJ?? or ZO??

[Lil Hornet]

thanks a lot guys.

all of the stuff that is missing, was before i was looking for cards around the world, so i don't know if they ever appeared... In my long time collecting cards, i wasn't able to even see a pic of those cards missing... may be one day

I am very busy with my collections (esp. the Hornets collection). There is so much stuff out there, that i am not able to collect another player. If i ever do so, it would be a role player who has finished playing before 2000, just to avoid the big amount of parallels today ;o)
