I guess when we say low-mid ends parallel from the 90s, we are basically refering to the UD series









Lastly, I love the SPX Infinte, as much as I like the 1997 Star Rubies.

I don't have a ton of 90s stuff, but since you pictured this set, I'll add this Mullin to the thread

I don't know if I'd call these low end, but I do love this thread already!!!

Loving the SPx Finite parallels! Those are some of my favorites.

Here’s my 98-99 McDyess binder section with a few of those among some other nice UD parallels.

I always wonder how do people define low/mid/high ends.

The photo is insane, so many HOF in one card.

It looks sick together.

I’ve tried buying the McDyess Prime Twine a couple times before. Guess my offers weren’t quite robust enough. Love that card.

I’m just glad I noticed it was numbered at the time. Pulled it as a kid.

On a related note, I’ve been dying for both his F/X version /125 and SPx Finite Spectrum /50 (card #185).

I got the 185 in my collection. I think I have not kept anything more than 100 copies. Is it really hard to find?

Nice. I’ve come across a few copies but most weren’t for sale. Also missed out on an auction or two.
But I’m a budget collector so I can’t exactly pounce on stuff I want whenever it comes up.

Just picked this one up.

This is a very beautiful set. I think I quit when this set was out. It is limited to 100 and like UD bronze set but the fame is shinny?

Those are the F/X parallels /125 out of UD Encore, weren’t in standard UD.

Also, please trade me your Penny Spectrum #185.

Great photo on the Duncan, congrats on the pickup. I'm a big fan of landscape orientation cards!

Yea I figured as much, had to take my shot

Not sure it gets much more "low end" than Press Pass, but the reflectors parallel has an insane shine!




Also a big fan of the class of 99-00 Topps Gallery, this is the Private Issue parallel





I really wish IG just shared the photo and not the whole embedded post . I guess I need a flickr account.

I can't even see the IG embeds. For people who don't have IG, or who are not logged in, it doesn't show up. Same with twitter.

I just added the option to upload photos directly from your phone!



If you can, watch that video in the YT app or else it will probably be too small to see what’s going on.

Book thanks!

This is stunning. I never see this set before.

I think this is my favourite low-mid end parallel from the 90s. Hand written number, cool die cut and shinny. I like it so much when my cards were graded by BGS and I saw a Duncan 9.5 on Ebay, I tried bidding it. Just to see how BGS defined a 9.5 SP authentic profiles 3.

Thanks . Press Pass did a few things really right over the years and the reflector/refractor was definitely one of them!!

The 1990s was when I started collecting and now that prices have returned to resemblance of normality, I have found myself of late reliving back into that part of my collection. I am currently plugging the gaps in insert sets that I never fully completed; but have also started to re-visit releases I have not looked at in an age. I even picked up a few old Beckett Basketball magazines to referees my memory on things a little!

I need to post some more cards & sets on my Instagram page, but below is a small insert set I completed back in the day. It the 1995-96 Skybox Premium 'Standouts' six card insert set that was released in Hobby packs at a ratio of 1:18; so not especially hard to track down. The Jordan costs around $30 to $40, but the rest can be picked up for a few dollars each. This post has reminded me that there is also separate 12 card 'Standouts' set that was available in both Hobby & Retail packs that I need to hunt down!

It is a great looking low end insert set!
