As evidenced by the eBay auction referred to above, there seems to be a pretty decent demand for these cards. Good to see.

No kidding, I was very surprised that those cards went for that--but, its rare you see them on Ebay in that strong of condition. I would imagine the condition bolstered some of the pricing, as I have seen most of those same cards on Ebay in the last year.

There were three of those cards that I could have really used--wish the McBrayer card would have gone in a solo auction.

Like you, I was glad to see the action. Hopefully, this auction action will spur more people to list these cards on Ebay.

being stuck here in basketball purgatory (Buffalo) doesn't help as far as collecting basketball cards goes. there's not much around here, so ebay has been helpful. so has this board. i wish the cards would have been listed singly so I could have afforded one or two. my pockets are not that deep so I couldn't bare to part with that much all at once. so, a part of me was pleased with the result. i am excited that b-ball cards are getting some love. but, another part of me was sad because I fear that I will never be able to afford to collect them anymore. such is life.

there's always off-condition busch bavarian cards to keep me excited.

I had no idea that these cards were that tough. In addition, I had no idea so many schools were involved in the set. I have the complete WVU team and Marshall team. I considered attempting the rest, but I don't think I will do that! Great set though. Good luck with your hunt.

Sounds like you are off to a great start if you want to build the set--you got most of the hard part down. Good luck.
