I appreciate the full spectrum of hobby offerings - old cards and new, low end base cards and rare higher end cards, common/semistar players to superstars/HOF/GOATS. To me, it all comprises a historical recounting of many players and eras of a great and exciting sport. Looking at cards and thinking about the evolution of the game, as well as its hobby is a lot of fun. Sure, not all cards are equally amazing, but there sure are a lot of neat cards that don't always get the time of day because they're not high up on the list for prospectors or investors. I only hope to serve as an inspiration to others, to share cards that they like and that mean something to them. If they will share a few words about those cards in addition to pictures, then that is even better!

Today's share represents all five of the Admiral's Electric Court Gold parallels from 1995-96 Upper Deck. The holofoil details that these cards sport versus their base and even basic Electric Court versions, are stunning. The last card (#349) was photographed twice with different holofoil reactions in order to present a nice rectangular collection of the photos:

Amazing captures, beautiful display of colors here.
