Bought this card on eBay about a year ago. Not a fancy card by any means. It’s like a Jambalaya and has that classic 90’s lenticular thing going on in the background that pictures just cannot capture well. Black bordered back shows all the tiny imperfections, something I couldn’t care less about as a kid but now it seems that’s all that matters nowadays. Love KG, love this card.

But I think it’s time for this KG to go to a new home and so I’m going to be listing it up on eBay in the coming days.

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!

Flair cards were super premium and expensive when I was a kid. They didn’t even come in “packs”. They came in little individual boxes with cello wrapping. I never pulled a legacy personally, but did pull some good inserts. Happy to have this legacy parallel of one of my favorite players of that era.

The “mini” logoman isn’t the “true” logoman. But it’s the best I can afford of a star. I have a mini logoman of KG, Pierce, Jermaine O’Neal, Even Turner, Giannis, and Portzingas. The poor man’s logoman! Still super cool and happy to have it in my collection!

While this set is in the 2000’s, many still consider it as part of the 90’s insert craze due to the legacy of the E-X 2000 brand and its ever-popular Essential Credentials Future/Now parallels. The cardboard cut outs laying on colored, thick acetate always stands out as groundbreaking, innovative, fun and aesthetically pleasing. I have never pulled a credentials out of a pack. Ever. And boy, I tried! Clearly, boxes now are so far out of my price range that even if you for so lucky as to pull one, you’d have to hit a star to get your money back. And with people CT scanning boxes, probably not a good idea to try! Still, glad I got this one for relatively cheap, compared to today’s prices, about 6 years ago. KG was a hard-nosed trash-talking PF who had inside out moves. Still one of my all-time favorite basketball players. Need to get this one graded as they are very condition sensitive, especially on the surface.
