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!

With the success of the acetate dunk ‘n go nuts insert the previous year, skybox premium introduced a one-year run of “That’s Jam” acetate inserts. Similar to the dunk ‘n go nuts acetate inserts. These colorful, opaque cards are straight off a Smuckers Jam label. They’re slowly getting their due and increasing in price slowly. They are fairly condition sensitive as the acetate surface stratches easily. They’re very hard to find in gem mint condition , but can be found in the 7 to 9 range quite easily. Thankfully, the do not appear to change colors, green, or yellow. Outside of the Kobe, these are still relatively affordable for nice looking 90’s inserts.

One of my favorite cards that I personally pulled and graded, happy this got a BGS 9.5 gem mint grade. These are amazing in hand. The atomics really sparkle! This was my best Duncan card for 20+ years….until I finally broke down and bought a Duncan rookie autographics Blue /50. Now this is my 2nd best Duncan card!
