A Basketball Fan’s Dream Card
By Adam McFarland | Posted at 11:51 am | Filed Under Upper Deck, NBA
Let’s say you could have any four living basketball players signatures on one card. If you’re a fan under 40 years old, odds are you’d wish for a card signed by Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron. Well, it’s your lucky day. Your wish has been granted. A 1-of-1 07/08 UD Black Basketball card […]

The Lakers have been red hot, and Kobe Bryant’s rookie cards have been achieving value levels not seen for a few years. His 96-97 Finest RC has been inching up since the beginning of the season, averaging a TAC of $15.66 in November, $16.59 in December, $17.03 […]
Life After Gasol for the Grizzlies
By Cardcollectingrambler | Posted at 5:36 pm | Filed Under Cards, Cardcollectingrambler, NBA
Guest post by Cardcollectingrambler from Break Open Another Box!
For the past 6 years, Pau Gasol was considered the Grizzlies’ franchise player. Then, on February 1st, he was traded to the Lakers in a deal that was considered the steal of the season. I guess the team recognized the talent that they had acquired over the […]
Celtics Stars Finally Getting Their Due

Guest post by Cardcollectingrambler from Break Open Another Box!
For years, the big three that are now leading the Celtics to the best record in the NBA, Kevin Garnett, Ray Allen & Paul Pierce, have been pretty much passed over in the hobby. Garnett toiled on a struggling T-Wolves squad, carrying the burden on his shoulders […]
What’s the Key to the Suns’ Awesome Offense?
By Cardcollectingrambler | Posted at 10:51 am | Filed Under Cards, Cardcollectingrambler, NBA
Guest post by Cardcollectingrambler from Break Open Another Box!
The Suns have one of best (if not THE best) offenses in the league. Their 109.4 ppg is tops in the NBA. So which player is most key to their awesome offense? Amare Stoudemire, the team’s leading scorer, averaged 18.6 ppg & 8.4 rpg with a FG% […]

Guest post by Cardcollectingrambler from Break Open Another Box!
Carlos Boozer, Utah’s star power forward, is averaging 25 ppg (#1 for PF in NBA), 11.5 rpg (#1 PF), 57.3 FG% (#2 PF) and has 18 double-doubles (#1 PF - #2 overall in NBA behind Dwight Howard with 20). Yet, despite his great performances (and his team’s […]
Player Focus: Rashard Lewis

Many people consider Dwight Howard the best “big man” in the league, and his Magic, off to a 12-3 start, are the only team thus far to beat the new-and-improved Celtics this season. I think that one big reason for Orlando’s success (other than Howard) is the […]
Top “Big Men” in the West - Age 25 or Under
By Cardcollectingrambler | Posted at 11:47 am | Filed Under Cards, Cardcollectingrambler, NBA
Guest post by Cardcollectingrambler from Break Open Another Box!
For years people have been talking about how there’s a shortage of skilled “big men” in the NBA, so players like Michael Olowokandi & Kwame Brown (who have yet to impress in the NBA) get taken at the top of the draft. Over the last few seasons, […]

Guest post by Cardcollectingrambler from Break Open Another Box!
The new NBA season is right around the corner, with some exciting new line-ups and players to prospect. Last season, we saw young players like Leandro Barbosa, Daniel Gibson, Kevin Martin and Al Jefferson start to break into hobby stardom, making the most of their increased minutes […]
How Popular is Greg Oden?
By Adam McFarland | Posted at 4:44 pm | Filed Under Autographs, Topps, NBA
Apparently not very (popular, that is). If you plan on being in Cleveland next Friday for the National Collector’s Convention Topps is giving you the “once in a lifetime” chance to meet Oden, have your photo taken with him, and receive a special autographed Allen & Ginter card limited to 100. Oh, you […]
