Great read. Love the idea of getting us into the season that just began with all the NBA lists!
I’m with you on ‘72 basketball possibly being the best all time Topps design. I really like your other 4 selections as well, although ‘88 Fleer would probably edge out ‘90 Fleer on my list. And great point about the ‘92 Topps design just looking great with basketball, but not so much with others.
Have a lot of affinity for that sweet ‘88 Jordan AS. After a neighborhood kid claimed my ‘87 Jordan, a well loved copy of the ‘88 Jordan remained my prized basketball card for most of the remainder of my card collecting youth. Well done, as always. Thanks!
Haha, it did/does. Sorry to always mention it, but it was the only thing negative about the hobby that I remember from the first episode of my youth. I actually did replace it, unfortunately during the pandemic prices! Oh well, happy to have it back. That card and the ‘88 Jordan AS are 1 and 2 for my favorite Jordan cards.
Well this was excellent i read it twice and now I’m going to have to find my favorite designs. This rookie class i think will provide at least 1 guy who becomes valuable in the hobby but just so much unknown following what looks to be a great class from 2023.

Dang, man, that '87 Jordan loss is going to haunt you. We gotta get you a replacement!
