Calbert Cheney was the smoothest player I’ve ever seen play college basketball in person. Thankfully, I went to IU while he was there under Coach Bob Knight. They had some amazing teams in Bloomington when I was in college! While he never materialized as the superstar I thought he would be in the NBA, and he just missed the late 90s high-end parallels. This retro skybox Ruby produced by upper deck once they obtained the Fleer and A Skybox IP is still super cool. I’ll be at cheap card to have in my collection. If anyone has any rare Calbert cards, please shoot me a DM! Still looking for his IU debut and record-breaking Big Ten scoring ticket/stub, too!

Sure, these don’t have the shine and appeal of later years rubies. But people don’t realize that the production run of these is actually super rare as well, they are just unnumbered. Love being able to get this Shaq rubies parallel for pennies on the dollar as compared to later years rubies. These will catch up a little over time
