50¢ Drexler

Man, I have been so out of it lately. I’ve meaning to post some Drexlers for the last week and a half, but have been avoiding it because even a five card post can take forever whilst mobile blogging. I’ve been dreading it! I don’t want to dread blogging, so I’m going to try more little blog bursts, like this one! Here. Have a card..

2008-09 Upper Deck Lineage #14 Clyde Drexler

This Lineage set brings back so many good memories of ripping foil when I was 10 years old. The 1991-92 Upper Deck basketball debut cards really seemed extra special when compared to the hoops and skybox sets out at the time.

I picked this one up with some others from sportlots.com for 50¢.

1992-93 Topps Archives Basketball

You remember these right? Topps had this idea for a set to go back in time and make some rookie cards that they would have made if they were doing basketball in the 80’s and early 90’s. I loved it. It was the first time I saw an older set’s design reused for a different sport and it peaked my interest in retro style cards which I continue to love today w/ Allen & Ginter and Heritage and such. The first retro set I remember was when in 1991, Topps reprinted 1953’s set and I pulled my first Hank Aaron.. I was stoked!

So I found a seller on eBay with a bunch of these and I picked up 4 of them, mostly hoping for the Drexler and Jordan. This was the best pack of the 4 and I got both those cards and another Trail Blazer in this one pack! Yes!

Card of the Day: 1992 Franz Bread Trail Blazers #6 Clyde Drexler All-Star Season

These Franz Bread cards were about the only reason I got excited about buying bread when I was growing up. I wish they’d start making these again.
