@ljandkg
Good one!! And your KG #1 is indeed THE sickest one!!

To me- i had actually too many in my mind when i read that topic...but top 3 is top 3.
Kobe has so many crazy front pics, but the backs are great too!

Thats actually the very first Kobe card i have ever pulled and that pic on the front is awesome of him flyiing through the zone but i always liked the back pic much more.
So easy, smiling at a interview at the locker room with positive vibes

This was tough. He has some really nice in action shots on 90s cards of driving, dishing, dunking... But I picked m favorite in action shot, a celebration shot, and one reason I loved Harp was because he was the perfect teammate... Not sure if this was a happy hug or a "I'm gonna prevent you from getting a suspension" hug, lol.

I will start with my Paul George player personal collection.
(sorry for the double pictures, I don't have these scanned individually)


Being a big time chrome refractor fan from the 90's, I was really glad Panini came out with something to fill in that emptiness of what once was a refractor, especially with these gold prizms.

#1

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4624/25077545457_ee7c8a71a9_c.jpg[


These here are what I consider Panini's second best chase inserts to obtain into one's player collection.


#2

https://farm5.staticflickr.com/4231/35460591580_98bee5b78e_c.jpg


last, It was nice to see UD bring back these back. I would had preferred them in their NBA uniforms, but I'm just glad PG was included in this retro iconic set.

OP, Great thread idea! The Garnett Flight Team gold's photo is absolutely crazy man, wow. What a card!

croatiantwins, awesome choices! The lower end stuff is actually some of the best stuff available for players from that era.

Harper, love that Panini card with Rodman on there, a unique photo can always enhance a card and make it stand out.

ChrisAC, the Select is easily my favorite, it would've been the auto, because that card on its own is gorgeous, but the sticker kills it for me, so I'm going with that Select. What a sleek card, very nice!

watashiwa, I love that Lebron photo, it's one of the best and if I ever had extra dough to throw around, I'd have grabbed every version of that card that I could find.

sotex, those golds man, so jealous. I don't own a single Kemp gold from any of the years he was included, those are outstanding cards and the fact that they match with the team's colors set them off big time.

-------------------------------------------

I don't know if I have a top 3, so I just went through picked the first three that stood out. These are in no particular order.

This is probably my favorite year of Ultra as far as base design goes and it's followed closely by 96/97. The 98/99 cards have beautiful font / lettering design overall and feature some of the best photography in any basketball product from that era. The overwhelming majority of Shawn Kemp's cards do not have very good photography, but this is one of a few that qualify as an exception to the rule. A dynamic photograph conveying frantic energy, the beautiful colors of the Cavs jersey from that era and Kemp's signature shoes make this one to have for any Kemp fan. I also chose to use the Platinum because it's my favorite one out of all of them, due to its background color, Kemp's player cutout is further emphasized, even more so than the gold and the base.
https://c1.staticflickr.com/2/1916/44796200772_e31a445436_b.jpg

Next is from 92/93 Upper Deck showing off the Reignman's awesome, uncontested power culminating in a dynamic finishing dunk captured at just the right moment. Classic Sonics jersey at Key Arena, before it was known as Key Arena.
https://c1.staticflickr.com/5/4452/37585296930_d0f6bb6efb_z.jpg


Finally, we have 93/94 Topps Stadium Club. This card right here, from this particular era, takes me back down memory lane. I remember Stadium Club was absolutely huge among the kids in the playground as it was one of, if not the most high end product any of the kids could get their change together for and buy packs of. The 1st Day Issue parallels were the (collectively) the thing of LEGEND. I was a little late to the game as I got into basketball in 94/95, but even then all the kids worshiped TSC. The raw power and energy emanating from this card makes Chernobyl look like a bonfire. You can tell he just shattered someone's immortal soul moments before this photo was taken. The greatest, most powerful, most vicious dunker to ever live, THE REIGNMAN.

Tarheelsfan - very nice.

Chris-AC - You've done well!:flex:

Great idea. Love all the cards so far! Here’s some from my McDyess PC.

#3 - 97-98 Ultra Platinum Medallion

Just a great looking card with an equally great photo.

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1846/44789699981_99a3f52632_z.jpg

#2 - 1999-00 Upper Deck Century Legends - 21st Century Phenoms Die-cut

I love this photo of him taking a shot over Olajuwon. McDyess was a beast and could keep up with the best of them. I’ve always wondered if he’d be up there with the greats if injures hadn’t plagued his career..

https://farm2.staticflickr.com/1888/30918548148_88ea0335f9_z.jpg

#1 - 96-97 Flair Legacy Row 2

My favorite McDyess card hands down. I just love the look on his face in both photos. Those first few years in Denver were just so awesome and this card captures that time period perfectly IMO.

Mindcycle - it was a shame about McDyess, I remember Laphonso Ellis also looked a fantastic player and his knees blew out.
For me it was LJ whose career shrank through injury..22-10-4 on 52% shooting his 2nd year, then sprained his back.

Rodman’s rebounding was so poetic. Card companies have done a great job of capturing his acrobatics. Panini, however, has been recycling the same old poses lately. Here are my favorite three out of a plethora of possible choices for best photo.

#2 - I just dig it.

Nice lay-uyp against NO

This challenge is so freaking hard! But I finally came up with my top 3 favorite KG cards.. all from the 90s!

3. 97-98 Upper Deck Game Jerseys

This card is just so iconic. First game used card set. And the design just stands out - it being an older card - it's amazing!

2. 1996-97 SkyBox Premium Autographics Kevin Garnett

Garnett's first NBA-licensed autograph. IMO, my card has the best auto/stroke that I've seen. So proud of it. Haha!

1. 1998-99 SkyBox Thunder Noyz Boyz Kevin Garnett

Tremendous eye appeal. The typography, the orange font color (my favorite color), the pre-dunk photo.. Nothing can go wrong with this card. I just love it! I have 4 copies of this card now.. And I believe I'm gonna go for more. Haha!

ljandkg, I just realized that the thread is about favorite card photos. Not specifically favorite cards. Haha! Sorry! The Noyz Boyz might still be my #1 considering that though. :)

We have the same taste Sir!

Great thread OP and awesome stuff from everyone. I've been meaning to post but with a rookie as my main PC it was hard finding three cards worthy. But I found them. My Top 3 Harry Giles Photos on Cards:

#3 2017-18 Select Tie-Dye. I've got the gold somewhere but nobody cares.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180925/e513780fc7234102fcf6444e50754014.jpg

#2 2017-18 Essentials Silver. Finger roll! Big fan of Essentials this year, and I've been searching for that platinum if anyone's hiding it.
https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180925/7a72ab6a046cc8e3eae8eec43e0c42f5.jpg

#1 2017-18 Court Kings Level III. Now come on now this one's just siick. Giles with the beaver-faced slam!

I don't actively collect him, but he happens to appear on some cards that I like most. I pulled the Flair Legacy card myself, so I will give it a slight edge over the SPx autograph card for sentimental reasons, more like (1a) and (1b) instead of clear cut (1) and (2), in terms of favorite cards.

Cards or pictures of cards don't matter much to me in this case.

None of these are for sale and/or trade, before any of you attempts to ask.

Some people be missing the point of this thread, but showing such monsters that it can be forgiven.

There are players that are too easy to post here; KG, McDyess, Big Ben, K-Mart, J. O'Neal just to name a few who have plenty of amazing cards that worth if not owning, then just browsing through online.

This is a card I own just for the picture. Keon Clark and Big Ben battling it out.

Luckily when it comes to my Kobe & Shaq PC, there are plenty of acrobatic moves to chose from, so this thread is not much of a challenge, sorry. ;) I will go with the all different brands then.

I'm prepared to eat an ejection in order for this thread to remain on the front page.

Although I don't pc Marbury anymore, I did from 96-98. And Finley's always been a side guy of mine. 98-99 TSC featured some incredible shots.

Love your work Duron, I remember seeing either you or someone share this Marbury card/photo and thinking to myself I need to get more cards like this.
Finley has some truly awesome card photos - his 97-98 Ultra card is a doosie

Likewise man, your stuff is unreal. You prob saw the Steph on my IG.
Had to double check what pic they used on Finley's Ultra and yea, great shot. At first I thought he was posterizing Cliffy Rob but it looks like he might've actually had it altered/tipped. He was always one of the more photogenic players due to his playstyle, sweet photo regardless...

I think Panini should make their version of this set. It would get them to find other photos instead of player holding ball

I'm no Kobe fan but I do own these cards and he sure took a good photo...

Firstly here's Eddie Jones giving Shawn Kemp a taste of his own medicine.

Edit: lol already changed my mind. Can we make it top 5?
