90's On The 9th:1995-95 Fleer Metal Maximum Metal Hakeem Olajuwon

*sits down, coffee is ready and card is in hand, time for a new post on Cards Over Coffee*

Yes, I know, I know. If you looked at the calendar today and wondered if you took the DeLorean back in time, you did not. I am a day late and many dollars short on today's post.

*takes a sip*

Today's card for 90's On The 9th, or technically 90's on the 10th, I acquired this summer and never took a picture of it or shared it even on Twitter. So, it's fresh to your eyes if you are reading this today. 

The choice for today is a basketball one and is from 1995-96. It comes from one of my favorite 90's products in Fleer Metal. Not that Upper Deck hasn't done a great job reviving the brand, but there is nothing like an original.

Maximum Metal was a 10-card insert set that fell 1:36 packs. Which is roughly one-per-more than one box.

It features a cool die-cut cut design of a silver basketball going through a silver rim with a colorful player in the forefront. Hakeem Olajuwon is my only copy of this insert in the set even though I have had my eyes on a Patrick Ewing for months and dream of the Michael Jordan one.

 

Card back has a write up on the player featured with a new picture of the player as well.

This was probably one of my cooler pickups for my 90's insert PC this year.

I know this segment doesn't get a lot of views and that I am a day late, but I enjoy going back and taking a look at these cards from my favorite era of collecting. I am also hoping some of you will post your own #90sOnThe9th on Social Media and your blogs. Let's make this a thing. Use the hashtag too!

Hope everyone has a great Friday!
