Wish they made cards like this still.

Picked up this 1993 Upper Deck MJ #204 at a show this weekend. It’s not a “big” card by any means, but it has some personal significance.

I had the reprint as a kid, and I remember just being happy to have a Jordan card. I found that reprint in my collection box when I got back into the hobby last summer and promised myself I’d grab a clean original if I ever saw one for the right price.

Saw it Sunday. Picked it up. The kid’s smiling.

This past week, a close friend of mine locally here stopped by the shop for the first time in months.. After an hour or so long conversation, he handed me a book filled with hockey cards. His personal collection from the 90's.

He has not been doing the best health wise, which really breaks my heart to hear. We went through the entire book together that day - talked about the awesome art, the cool designs from the time. He told me stories about why he collected the way he did - I think I will cherish this book for life. I plan to share a page in the group a few times a week, there are a ton.

Gretzky was one of his favorites to collect. I am going to refer to my friend as CF for the posts ❤

Latest pick up. Marbury had incredible hype coming up and provided a lot of entertainment over the years, as well as being a good international ambassador for the game.
