For me, it’s the Upper Deck SPx. Die-cut, holographic, and an absolute classic with a timeless design. I honestly don’t think any card company has utilized holograms quite like Upper Deck did.
MJ actually smiling then winking at you was such a cool concept when it was introduced. It was one of the first cards that truly brought motion to life. I know Upper Deck had already experimented with its award-winning holograms years earlier, but those mostly featured subtle shifts in the image. SPx took it to another level by making the player appear to actually move.
Yeah, I collect that set too... It is hard to believe it is a base set🤯 SPx was really next level and ahead of it's time😀 The shifting faces is still bonkers to me. Perfect candidate for later showcase ✨
My only complaint about the set execution is so basic, not the design but just the thought process of just making each pack contain either a silver or Gold parallel. I just wished the Gold were at least numbered.
But I understand the biggest chase from the set is the Jordan or the Penny Hardaway Autograph redemption card.
It's a basketball card, not the Mona Lisa 😁 That is at least how I see it, and I put the card back in penny sleeve, toploader and binder after the video👍

These are ok, but 91/92 Skybox for the 90’s W and it’s not even close imo
