| Shaq is until the end of the year, which means now that he's signed
a contract that the other sets can include him, right?
|
| 479.2 | not sure | DDIF::MCEVOY | | Wed Sep 09 1992 09:58 | 29 |
| Nobody seems to know for sure what the deal is with Shaq. I think
you're right, somehow, Classic has him "exclusively", I believe til
the end of the calendar year. Someone else said that nobody can
produce him til a series II.
does that mean that if a company waits til January to put out their
series I, then its ok to put Shaq in it?
does that mean that a company could slam out a series one this week,
then a series two next week just so they can be the first pro card
with Shaq on it?
I don't know for sure. I guess the only way to tell would be
to see his Classic contract and/or his Magic contract. I had always
thought that once you signed an NBA contract, then you're in the players
association, and you're fair game to anyone with an NBA card license.
Maybe that's still true, but maybe not. I think a player could
probably challenge the players association if he had enough clout
and/or lawyers. Maybe ONeal delayed his entry into the players
association?
If anyone knows for sure, please post that info here.
Also, I forgot to mention that the factory Classic set contains an
extra card of Laettner that I believe is only available in the factory
set. Different than his LP card.

| 479.3 | How many sets per box | CARTUN::PAVLOCK | | Thu Sep 10 1992 22:01 | 9 |
| Has anyone bought a box of the Classic Basketball draft pics? I assume
it's 36 packs with 10 cards per pack, right?
If you bought a box, what's the collation like? How many sets were you
able to make?
Regards,
Denny

| 479.4 | not what it could be? | DDIF::TANCILL | long may you run | Fri Sep 11 1992 00:45 | 9 |

I heard 2nd hand the collation ain't great, one set plus about
10 short of a second (you would expect at least two complete
sets with 360 cards, your mileage may vary). Though if one of your
quadruples/pentuples/sextuples is the shaq, I suppose your collation
was pretty darn good.

| 479.5 | Breakin Up is hard to do | SONATA::KELLY | | Tue Sep 22 1992 10:19 | 9 |
| I broke a couple of cases (20 boxes) and got pretty good colation.
Cards #5 and 34-39 and 76 seem to be the shortest. Lot's of Shaque.
The gadget cards average 3 per box Card 1 (Shaque) in the gadgets
is hard to find. The baseball inserts are also real hard to find.

| 479.10 | 1992-93 Front Row | RAB::MCEVOY | | Fri Oct 30 1992 13:09 | 18 |
| 1992-93 Front Row Draft Picks are out. I picked up a pack out of
curiosity. The cards are pretty nice, I think they're better than last
years. Last year's were glossy, and a lot of the photos were kind
of blurry. This year's cards are not glossy and the photos are better.
The fronts have a purple border, the backs vary. I don't think
Front Row cares too much about consistancy in their cards. Some of
the backs have additional photos, some have "career highlights",
some have stats. There are several cards of each player, the fronts
all look the same, just different photos; some of pictures have the
players in their "Front Row" jerseys. The set features players
from both this year's draft and last years draft (whom they already
issued cards for twice last year.)
They're calling this set the "Dream Picks" set, it also features
inserts with autographs. All in all, better than last year, some
real nice pictures.
