1989-90 NBA Hoops
Ok, so this will be the last time (probably) that I mention basketball cards on a baseball card blog. This set is like a bad penny. It just keeps turning up in my collection. I remember in 1989 when this set was all the rage due to the David Robinson rookie cards. I wanted to purchase packs of this stuff but when the card stores where charging anywhere from $1-$3 dollars a pack, I just couldn't bite. As time went on thought, and these cards became MUCH more affordable I had to add this set to my collection. This is probably the third time I've had this set in my collection after getting rid of it twice because I felt like it just didn't belong. This time it's here to stay for good. Coupled with the fact that I was able to track down the special promotional binder that was released with these cards in 1989, I'm glad to have this bad penny turn up once more.

1989-90 NBA Hoops
Here's the other basketball card set that I have in my collection. I remember vividly of collecting this set back in the day strictly for this one particular card. The Admiral's rookie card commanded a lot of money back then (around $30 if I remember correctly) as well as the Piston Championship card. I love the simple design of this set. The white border and photography are complemented with the player portrait photo on the back of the card. The all-star game cards are a nice addition to the set as well. With a set size of 354 cards, it was definitely one of the larger basketball sets to put together at the time.
