Shawn Kemp cards. Great taste. Super card. Y'know...you're a pretty good guy.

These cards are plentifully available, and priced accordingly in the marketplace. At quick glance, the cards from this set have either a purple, or an orange shiny foil background, like this one. When caught in the right light though, they can really dazzle. I finally got around to trying to photograph some of my cards from 1997-98, and interestingly, the Metal Universe cards really cooperated and smiled nicely for the camera. I like the black and white action cutouts used on these, giving them an older flavor:

Thanks dude. I hate 97/98 Fleer Ultra so much, but they put together such a great photo for Jordan's card. Spectacular.

Here's another share:

haha my thoughts exactly.

[QUOTE=frisbeesteve;14651357]These Gold Universe inserts from the 1997-98 Metal Universe can really give off some amazing colors in the right light, also highlighting their intricately etched foil. Just to illustrate what can be lost in a scan versus a picture, here's a scan of the card (scans of these always come out gold, as also evidenced on COMC)...

...and here are three different photographs of that same card:

Such a beautiful card.

Lots of beauties keeping this thread rolling right along! I'm a huge sucker for the 1997-98 Flair Showcase Row 0 set, so definitely loving those cards very much, especially the Penny and Jordan pics that show the secondary player image so clearly, which I don't think is easy to do whilst also picking up some of the colorful "flair" throughout the rest of the surface.

Here is a rare photograph of one of mine from the same set - where the secondary player image came out better than on most of my other pictures:

Love all those row 0's. Here's another recent Iverson- the middle section featuring Grant Hill's beautiful visage is in acetate if anybody was wondering.
