This set chase has definitely been my primary collecting focus since I started. No comment on how many times a day I check my eBay saved search.

It's been a blast though and I've found the hobby becomes a lot simpler when you identify a project you're truly passionate about.

I've actually been able to get all my copies at reasonable prices, i.e. market value. Nobody has tried to gouge me and in fact it's been quite the opposite as fellow collectors have been incredibly supportive of my chase. The only exception is the Dirk Nowitzki Rookie, which I still need. I have come across many copies and there are a number on marketplaces right now. The problem is they have all been either 2X or 3X overpriced or have such bad condition issues they just aren't "The One" for me. So I'm still trying to find the right copy and the search goes on.

Love the Stat Lines set, you didn't want to go for the booklets?
Another similar set is Courts Kings Performance art, nicely designed and memorabilia pieces have and exact worn date.

Here’s the 94-95 Jam Session Slam Dunk Hero set I put together years back with the help of Abra and Charly41 from BO (@charlyriceforever on IG). Abra traded me every card except Kemp because I heard he likes him or something. Then a bit later on charly sent me the Kemp for free.

Excuse the old, shitty group pic.

Ugly, super weak design and terribly incomplete player selection, but 16 years in and I'm down to 4 cards. Any help tracking them down would be greatly appreciated.

None of the 4 I'm listing are the '57 Variants/50

#5 Jason Kidd/50
#31 Shawn Marion/50
#70 Luke Walton/50
#84 Chris Webber/50

I have tons of doubles of these Copper for trade, and would go heavy in your favor for any of the above 4. Also, I don't expect this set to start getting love, but If anyone ever does consider putting this one together, please contact me.

Currently have 405/500 possible and 33 completed player rainbows.

Just finished the Bird today, the cards look like this:


It's a 100 card set and the base set and parallels are broken down like this:
1st quarter (blue/base)
2nd quarter (red/36)
3rd quarter (purple/24)
4th quarter (green/12)
Overtime (black/5)

Nice! Love that set. I've picked a few of those rainbow parallels (I think they're called correct?) over the years. Might have one or two of those for you.
