A while back I made a trade with Abra and received 7 of the 8 cards from this set. I still wonder why Kemp was the only player missing, does he collect him or something?

Anyway, I made a trade thread requesting the Kemp, and charly41 replied saying he located one. But you see, he ain't got no time for trades, because this fine gentleman mailed it out to me free of charge from Austria.

Behold, one of the coolest etched foil sets ever released...

Awesome! I haven’t seen those in a long time, but they definitely take me back. I love those colorful foil inserts that Fleer did in the mid-90s.

Dude! One of the BEST sets ever released, seriously. The foil on those cards is UNREAL.

The colors are so vibrant and really difficult to capture in photos, but damn you lit the Kemp card up good. Charly is awesome, one of the best out there. Congratulations on the set. I would've sent you the Kemp I have...but uh...I couldn't find it at the time.

yeah...that's what it was.

charly41 is a good guy. That's a sweet looking card/set. I had a few Jam Session cards back in the day but none of those.

Beautiful card! I wish David Robinson had been included in that year's set, as he was included in the previous iteration's non-foil issue. He could dunk a little bit too.

Round Mound that is SICK. Where did you find it??

Thanks everybody, cool to see so many others with an appreciation for these, even cooler to see people discovering them. Grab a few, you won't be disappointed.

I actually found some packs of these in my local supermarket's VENDING MACHINE last year, lol. Can read about how I struck out on hitting a Dunk Hero here...

Right? And still alive and kicking in 2018. Usually it's like this with zero basketball...

I know lol. Even further back, before I found the Jam Session packs, it had 99-00 Topps. One of the packs I bought took the dive in just the right spot because every card was dinged on the same corner.
