I recently submitted this at a local show. Knowing the age, and the card having foil board, a strong grade is tough.

I do believe I grabbed this out of a $5.00 box about 3-4 years ago or so. Many will know I'm not a grader, but I passed it along with a few other cards I felt could potentially slab in a high grade. I was pleased there also, and will share that info in a later thread.

As for now, this one really puts a smile in my face not because of the money potentially gained, but because the odds were stacked against me I felt. When I discovered the population report for this, its that much more impressive. Pleased I am with this Balck Mamba, a very tough condition sensitive card criminally overlooked for two decades now.

Thanks for looking!

Grats on the nice grade! I've always liked those NBA 50th cards myself.

My buddy pulled this same card back in 1996. I always liked it and thought it was pretty undervalued. Yours likely won't be undervalued.

Thanks guys, it was a nice surprise when slabbed. The pop report shows in 20 years, only x117 gem mint from BGS.
