Does anyone know how common these were back in the day? Recently started picking up lebron's and despite the fact that there will be a ton of lebron across all the trilogies, wondering how common it was as a total release. Vaguely remember the product but don't recall seeing it a ton.

Rookie Matrix? It was a cheap retail product and it was very easy to find. The panel cards with LeBron are still very affordable.

The Parallels with the various backs are criminally overlooked ( because this was a horrible product). The Triple Double backs are likely to have a print run of less than 20; more likely 10-15 copies. The Swish backs are likely to be a single copy but let’s say less than 5. Most are buried in piles people can’t be bothered to look at 😀

If I remember right we never got a lot of concrete info about the parallels either.

Ah memories, I remember opening 2 boxes of this stuff back in 2003/2004 - I was just 10 at the time so I think it was Christimas or something ... I remember pulling SEVERAL trio cards with Lebron on it per 24 pack box (at least 4 in each) ... So they were pretty common. Saying that, I haven't seen sealed boxes of this in a long time, at least at an affordable price. Pretty unique product looking back on it though really.
