Back in the day of youth and innocence when we looked forward to the weekends in order to wake up early and watch rage / video hits (well I did that shit anyway) my life was all about basketball, basketball hoop in the back yard, was sure to always be fresh in the latest Penny Hardaway sneakers (actually gotta give my pops love for that) I even got detention in like 5th grade for refusing to play soccer in my sports class, if I remember correctly, I basically just hated soccer and it wasnt basketball.
Needless to say I was all for collecting basketball cards as well it kinda just went hand in hand with ballin all the time. Anyways time went on, all that stuff faded in to black…im pretty sure I sold all my cards to like cash converters or some collector place.
But its funny I been ballin pretty hard as of late and a few weeks ago I was at Berkeley flee market just lazin, lookin at shit And what did I see…this og nigga was sellin unopened packs of nba trading cards from the 1990-91 season, 91-92 season and 92-93 season. Shit was bananas and to top off the amazing find, his deal was 4 packs for $5. Dude was weird as hell so no questions just got em and I was out.
Opening those 4 packs was more exciting then my last 5 birthdays and Christmas’s put together. If you know some shit, you would know a Muggsy Bogues, a Grant Hill Rookie and James Worthy All-Star card is a major come-up.

haha Dope!
I remember I found a box full of unopened cards at an op shop a while back. Needless to say I bought them all, and sat in the store opening them all rekindling that feeling I got as a kid.
Nostalgia is the best drug.
This post got me really psyched. If you had a grant hill rookie card back in 94, best believe you were getting robbed at lunchtime by the year 7's.
Or at least the equivalent of a grant hill anything.
