I know this was during the junk card era, but I loved these cards.

While the gold medal game is likely the more sought after ticket, this is the very first game team USA played in the 1992 Olympics. This fact alone makes it incredibly special as it was the “debut” game. USA won easily over Croatia with Michael Jordan leading all scorers with 21 points. The Croatian team, however, was loaded with NBA stars such as Drazen Petrovic, Dino Radja and Toni Kukoc and others. I believe this to be the second most important dream team basketball ticket after the gold medal game!

I was also very lucky to see the 2000 Dream Team, this is the team where Vince Carter dunked on that big guy in the Olympics. They played Steve Nash and Team Canada. Before the game I got to hang out with Clyde Drexler, Joe Dumars, Lisa Leslie, and others.

Kobe and Shaq Dream Team? You’re getting slabbed!! Pulled these out of my collection when I was inventorying cards that had never been tracked or values researched and those stood out as must grade at least for PC if not for eventual sale or trade.

J.J. McCarthy, Blake Corum, Roman Wilson, & Donovan Edward’s. Dream team.
