What’s fun about collecting? Is that different items and collectibles mean different things to different subgroups of people. For instance, this ticket might not mean a great deal to many, however, in this game, the slick left-handed shooting guard from Evansville, Indiana, Calbert Cheaney (my favorite IU player of all-time) broke the Indiana Hoosier scoring record, which still stands today!

Calbert Cheney was the smoothest player I’ve ever seen play college basketball in person. Thankfully, I went to IU while he was there under Coach Bob Knight. They had some amazing teams in Bloomington when I was in college! While he never materialized as the superstar I thought he would be in the NBA, and he just missed the late 90s high-end parallels. This retro skybox Ruby produced by upper deck once they obtained the Fleer and A Skybox IP is still super cool. I’ll be at cheap card to have in my collection. If anyone has any rare Calbert cards, please shoot me a DM! Still looking for his IU debut and record-breaking Big Ten scoring ticket/stub, too!

This is a rare parallel from a fun product tribute to the famous 1961 Fleer set. The parallel is numbered out of /61 and are super hard to find in the wild! Cheaney was the best player I’ve ever seen in college - and I went to IU when he played. So a significant card in my PC!
