One of the best, high-end rookies of Peyton. Visually, these row 0 cards are amazing in-hand. Flair had some of first thick/premium stock, look, and feel out on the market. The hobby is starting to rise on Manning stuff. Happy to have this one locked away in my PC. Still might be my favorite NFL player of all-time.

Many years ago, when everybody was zigging towards his Topps rookie and Topps chrome rookie, I zagged… And bought this very rarely seen LeBron James rookie. It’s from a high-end brand, Flair, and is serial numbered to 100. I rarely see these come up for sale on the market ever. I did not see a single one of these at the national this year in Chicago. It might not be as flashy as some of his refractors and more sought after rookies, however, I still think this one is one of my favorite LeBron‘s.

These cards came out of the high-end Flair product in 1998. As you recall, this is a rookie year Peyton Manning insert… These are printed on wood cards and our exceptionally hard to grade as the wood cracks slightly, but they’re still hard to find. Think of them as rare, if not more rare than the jambalaya insert set in basketball. They’re super cool in-hand and you don’t see many out there at show tables or on the open market.

The 1996 Flair row 0 Kobe Bryant rookie. It’s in a high grade, I can’t believe the centering of this borderless card is really what’s keeping it from a gentleman 9.5! I consider this to be one of his best rookie cards along with the EX-2000 rookie. It’s speckled and sparkling background really shine in hand. I have the entire 90 card row 0 set from this year, including the Jordan which I posted earlier.
