Today I wanted to show a couple cards from the 94-95 Topps Embossed Basketball set. A few blogs ago I talked about card designs and how many of them (In my opinion) I didn't like because they were too busy with the artwork on the fronts. This however is another set that I like. I really like how the border is basically like a basketball and then the rest of the card is only dedicated to the player. The first photo is of the Foil cards from this set.
Here is a regular card from the set with the border that I was talking about. When I saw this card I decided to show it and tell a little story. Obviously it's Dennis Rodman. I met his father a few months ago when I was on vacation in the Philippines. Turns out that Dennis and his father haven't talked to each other for many years. Now I wish I could say his father was a great meet however I can't. He owns a little hole-in-the-wall restaurant basically across the street from where my wife and I had a house. Now don't get me wrong he was nice enough to talk with but when we would be sitting out front of our house enjoying the evenings he would be inside his restaurant partying with his friends. Almost every night. It got real old but hey, it's still neat to have met him and now I have another story to add to my collection!
