Most PMGs are waaay out of my price range. Calbert Cheaney was at Indiana when I was in college in Bloomington. He was the best player (and my favorite college player) I ever watched. A silky smooth left handed who still has the all-time Big Ten scoring record. He never panned out as a superstar in the NBA. He doesn’t have a ton of super high end cards/parallels, so happy to have this one. Even though I had to overpay to get it!

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!
