These inserts are amazing! This is the closest I’ll ever get to owning a true Kobe Bryant Jambalaya. However… Unfortunately, I need to trade this in order to move up to a bigger card that I’ve been chasing. As a collector, I find it very difficult to trade or sell any cards, But sometimes consolidation is both important and necessary to get other cards I want more. This card is going to be involved in a trade with about 10 other cards to move up to one card that I will share in a week or so when it arrives… Stay tuned!

Yeah, yeah, I know this isn’t a Jambalaya. However, it’s pretty close. This is the skybox E-Xceptional insert of the legendary “Mr. Fundamental”, Tim Duncan. These 90s inserts are super cool with a lenticular-like gem background which moves and sparkles in hand. There were parallels to this, including red, green, and blue, which is the most rare. You can still find the reds at reasonable price, and they have some pretty big stars, including Kobe, Duncan, Garnett, and others. Further proof that cool cards don’t need to break the bank!

Yup, it’s not a Jambalaya, but almost the next best thing. E-X semi-lenticular inserts are always cool. KG I one of my favorite all-time players. Wish this was in a Celtics jersey, but the green colormatch is still pretty nice from an overall aesthetic standpoint!

Yeah, I know… They’re not jambalaya. But they are almost the next best thing. These E-X ceptional cards have rounded edges. In the cool 3-D background design that the jambalaya’s have. They’re also fairly limited in the production and our serial numbered. The red versions have no serial number. The green versions are numbered to 500 and the blues are numbered #/250. The blues have quite a bit of value as this is probably a three or $4000 card. They do look EX-ceptionally cool in hand
