Best 90s Basketball Insert Set?

[FleeryFlairy]

Ah, the decade of the insert. What was the best insert set in your opinion? I will probably go with 93-94 Skybox Showdown Series. It was one of the earlier inserts so the technology wasn't as good, but it was cool that you had the head-to-head stats on the back and the good photography. Also, the Magic vs. Bird card is a classic.

I'll go with 92 Stadium Club Beam Team followed by Skybox Autographics. Both are still collectible and the prices are within reach of most collectors. I know some people like refractors, but I always considered them parallels instead of inserts. A few collectors on here will disagree with me.

yeah, autographics was the hottest thing ever, I remember that Beckett ran all those stories on it, and they had a picture of stackhouse signing it, and it was like wow they really do sign them lol

beam team, that was a tough one to get as I recall (but I could be wrong)

[tarheelsnipe]

Yeah, to me Beam Team started it all in basketball. MJ was tearing through the league, and Shaq had an RC insert. They've cooled off a lot, though. The MJ goes for around $25-40 and the Shaq for a little more. Very attainable now. Hey, I think I just figured out what mini-set I'll put together next.

those 96 draft redemption inserts from topps were hard as **** to get too, the kobe was going for an insane amount there for a while

Well..I'm more of an 'Acetate' type of guy. I LOVE Clear acetate cards.
95-96 Fleer Metal 'Slick Silver'
98-99 EX 'Dunk N Go Nuts'

Then of course..I love ALL Fleer Metal inserts and parallels. Precious Metals are AWESOME!! Foil cards are SWEET!!

Yes, and they had Michael Finley interview.

Definitely autographics along with 97-98 game jersey and jambalaya.
