96-97 Ultra Platinum Medallion #33. With this card and the previous Ultra Platinum, I now have All of the 90's Ultra Platinum Medallions!!!!! I'm really happy to knock those off of the list.

97-98 Upper Deck Game Dated Foil. These cards are impossible to find at 1:1500. Not an expensive card but really happy to get this one because of how tough they are to track down.

Up last for tonight is a brutally tough card to track down. Very simple design but I like the look of the green foil. I had a tough time taking a pic to show it off very good.

Very nice! Those cards are so rare. Most of them would go unnoticed when people opened packs.

Yeah, they don't really stand out to much but are obviously extremely rare. I'm glad to get it added to my collection. I think that gives me about 25 or so Hills that are /50 or under.

This is what I love about you bro. You are a true collector and know your $HIT

I picked up MJs 97-98 Upper Deck Game Dated Foil about 2 years ago. Thats one of the many cards going to BGS this year

These are sickly rare and wayyyyyyyy undervalued

I educated myself on how to spot these as many sellers are selling the common base cards as the Game Dated, when they are not

Yes mi amigo, its gotta have the foil

Awesome bro

Love it man. Those Supreme Courts might as well be 1/1's. I somehow remember those Minted Metal redemptions.

Pretty insane that you have all the plat medallions now, that's gotta be awesome. The standard (#33) is obviously a looker, and the Effort completely slipped my mind.

The Game Dated foils are very sleek as well, great example of rare cards that didn't need the serial numbering "gimmick." 1:1500, LOL.

I may be in the minority but I actually like 96-97 Platinum Medallions even more than the serial numbered 97-98s (Although I love em both!)

I remember when I picked up the 96-97 MJ PM, I was like whoa! LOL

Platinum medallions were a very tough pull, and I cant remember pulling even one PM back when I busted at least 6 boxes it back in the 90s when they first came out. LOL

I always loved 96-97 Ultra and still do. All around they are my favorite Ultra basketball set also because of the Court Masters, Starring Role, & Scoring King "Plus" inserts. 2nd would be 93-94 with Scoring Kings, All Defensive, etc.

Only thing I hate about 96-97 Ultra is they are very condition sensitive with most cards coming out of the pack chipped around the sides

Getting a PM without chipping is quite a find

Very nice once again

#49 Antonio Davis
#56 Loy Vaught
#61 Eddie Jones
#66 Tim Hardaway
#69 Vin Baker

Thanks man!!! Those foil cards are tough to find. I got this one from a guy who was breaking a set apart and only keeping the Jordan. They are extremely difficult to locate. Imagine how many of them got overlooked due to people thinking they were base cards???

Yeah, the game dated foil doesn't need serial numbering but I'd be shocked if there more than a couple hundred of each player at the most. The Suprene Courts are very difficult to find so I breathed a sigh of relief to get this one.

I like the 96-97's also but the 97-98 Platinums are my personal favorite. I love that design and especially love the photos they used for all of the players except the rookies.

Agree 100%. I personally like the ultra platinum medallions more than any other parallel in the 90s. It is really hard to find good condition on the 96-97 ones though. I'm trying to hoard these fo my PC player but my hoard is only at 6/400, they just don't pop up much for my guy...

96-97 ultra /250 x3
97-98 ultra /100 x2
00-01 ultra /50 X1

Weak hoarding skills, lol

Considering that some of them only come up for sale once per year or less then it's not weak at all. Lol. Ultra Platinum is probably second on my list of favorite parallels behind the Star Rubies. They would be difficult for me to not pick as #1.

I have a few new additions to post on Monday/Tuesday whenever they arrive.

Well guys, it's been about 45 days since I last added any cards. I'm taking some pics now and am going to start adding them. This is a solid update with some good quantity. Not extremely top heavy but real nice. I will have more cards coming in soon and that update will be HUGE.
