1990s Basketball Card Inserts Highly Sought by Collectors Today 

I loved 93-94 ultra as a kid and love it even more as an adult. I really miss some of the inserts from that era. The insert game of today could learn something from then.

Glad the video was helpful for you! You have any favorite insert sets as you've been looking into them more?

Hey Sam, glad you're enjoying content! I'm enjoying making it too. Yes, those Rubies are real nice too for sure.

Welcome to the community! Glad you found your way here.

Love these inserts. Modern day inserts just rarely ever are as cool.

Appreciate that Jeremy!

Glad you enjoyed the video!

I absolutely agree with you. The 90's may have overdone it with inserts a bit, but when it hit that sweet spot, the cards were just phenomenal. I am actually super annoyed by the color parallel explosion nowadays. I even find myself missing out on good card flipping opportunities here and there just because I really don't want to look at another obscure random color parallel. I have a few Beam Teams too, but I think only one or two from 92-93, most are from 93-94 (I think! But they are in a box in my parent's attic at the moment). I used to aim a lot for those die cut all-stars, they were one of my favorites. My very favorite card I owned for a long time was my Nick Van Exel card in that set, as I had a pretty good collection of his cards and always aimed for him. By the time the Autographics and Game Jersey cards came about, I had already begun my couple decade absence from the hobby.

@@scoa Two decades is a long time to miss out on! The proliferation of jersey cards, UD losing its license and going college only, the rise of hobby packs (and when they stopped printing congratulations on the back of cards!) and the last printing of many well known brands like Fleer, Topps and co.

@@dwayneskinner7315 It absolutely was a long time to leave the hobby. Definitely was a pretty big learning curve when I first got back in again. And I definitely missed out on some really cool goings on over the years. But in some ways, I'm glad I lost touch with the hobby for awhile, I think it made me love it even more once I got back to it again. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, as they say.

Word

You're right. My bad on that. Thanks for the catch.

For many of them, definitely. The timing of this comment is kinda funny because tomorrow I actually will be dropping a video with 10 of my favorite cheap 90s inserts, I think you'll like that one.

95 topps power booster, 93 living legends, 95 finest mystery borderless, 97 metal universe base and titanium, 96 topps class acts atomic refractor

That video I mentioned just dropped: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-3wDqTWmr4kw.html Living legends is on there.

I just went and double-checked. It actually is 1:288 packs like I said in the video. Your number is the odds of any one specific player from in that set- there were 10 cards in the set, so the odds of pulling any specific one of them would be 1:2880 packs.
