Abdur-Rahim had a great 5 year stretch. I really thought he had the staying power to be a force in the NBA and bought waaaay too many of his cards! But these early atomic refractors are still super cool in hand and simply glow in the light!

Remember when atomic refractors looked like this?

Ray Allen is still the best pure shooter in the NBA. Of course, people have their opinions, and Steph Curry is the best three-point shooter in the history of the league. But, Ray Allen has the best, most pure looking shot in terms of form, that I’ve ever seen. This is a beautiful example of his 1996 Bowman‘s best rookie atomic refractor. I was convinced that this would come back as a PSA 10. It appears flawless. The shine on these early atomic factors is unparalleled. Still, happy to have this in a PSA 9 grade.
