January 28th, 2009Posted by Joey

 
I was shocked to say the least that Panini was able to seal the deal with the NBA and become the only licensed distributor of NBA Basketball cards beginning with the 2009/2010 season.

I was in the post office the other day mailing off some cards I had sold on Sportlots and the clerk asked me about the NBA Playoffs. I explained that I don’t really follow the NBA that closely anymore. I haven’t seen a complete game all year and probably won’t unless I happen to be [...]

First Impressions 2006/2007 Upper Deck Basketball

May 15th, 2007Posted by Joey

I don’t buy a lot of basketball cards but I decided to buy a box last week. I was going to buy a box of Topps but they were sold out. I decided to get a box of Upper Deck instead. I also ordered another baseball card box I’ll have more on it later. The [...]
