If I had to put a ranking of my favorite base set designs of the 90's, someday I really hope to do that, 1997 Spx is EASY Top 5.
The die-cut design. The touch of foil and color. The hologram that smiles at you with a single turn. There isn't anything to hate about it.
That's why I have finished the football, NASCAR, baseball and almost hockey sets of it.
I am also ever so-so close to finishing up the basketball one after I was RAK'd a Kobe which is the hardest card in the set. I promised the person who sent that I would finally finish this up.
All that remains is,
19,24,29.30,32,34,37,38,42,43,and 47.
That's 11 cards out of 50. This one has been a slow build but being this close, I have to do this!!
Do you have any of my remaining needs? Comment below or hit me up at sportcardcollectors@hotmail.com . Thanks in advance!
Well, this makes three posts in three days and this is just the beginning. I have packed a lot of posts coming up and some new ones on Sport Card Collectors and Big Blue Cardboard too so make sure you are following those as well. There is a reason I am doing this and that will be revealed at some point.
Hope everyone has a great end of April! Hopefully all of those showers bring on May flowers!

A. Great set. Don't see singles from this set very often. Best of luck tracking down the final ones for your set. It looks like you can grab a few of these on COMC for a few bucks each.
ReplyDeleteB. Suppose to have more showers here on Saturday. Hope the forecast is wrong, because I really want to hit the flea market.
I have quite a few of this style of SPx, but unfortunately not from this year. I follow all three so I hope to keep up. Coffee in the morning. Bring on the flowers.
