This one was relatively inexpensive. And KJ was one of my favorite players to watch in the 90’s. I even had the Converse “React Juice” high tops. Love multicolored on-card patch autos!

Man. I LOVE this set. I have a few , but if anyone has any of this set for sale or trade please hit me up! Olympic game worn multi-colored patches with on-card autos. What’s not to love?!

The international Jake Guentzel card has arrived. Pretty sharp looking. Now to add it to the massive collection shared recently.

Got this at a card show for $10. Iconic US Olympian. I wish it wasn’t a sticker auto. But it was only $10!

Bob Beamon

Why this moment is so iconic:

• Record-shattering leap: At the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, Beamon jumped 8.90 meters (29 ft 2½ in)—obliterating the previous world record by an astonishing 55 cm (21.7 inches).

• “Beamonesque”: The jump was so far beyond expectations that it inspired a new term in sports for a performance that exceeds all limits.

• Altitude + execution: While the high altitude in Mexico City helped, the jump itself was near perfect—he barely hit the takeoff board and maximized speed and lift.

• Unmatched dominance: His record stood for 23 years, until Mike Powell broke it in 1991.

Fun detail:

Officials actually had to bring out a manual measuring tape because the electronic system couldn’t measure that far—no one expected a jump like that.
