1994-95 NBA Hoops Series 2


Basketball season is right around the corner. As in, like, next week. Here's a pack from the past. Lots of Cool Foil Cards Inside, kids! 


425 - Juwan Howard / Isaiah Rider Top This! This is a two-sided card commemorating recent draft picks, made to look like quasi magazine covers, I guess?


327 - Carlos Rogers - In case you couldn't tell, Rogers is a ROOKIE.


391 - Atlanta Hawks Trivia - Each team has their own trivia card in the set, with the team logo and related design on the front. The Hawks get, er, feathers. The back has a team-related trivia question.


310 - Michael Adams - Teal, the '90s color! This is one of the few cards in the pack with the actual base design.


364 - Wesley Person - Person went on to have a pretty solid career.


397 - Denver Nuggets - Another team/trivia card. It's gold, because... nuggets.


PR-52 - Karl Malone Power Ratings - These were a one-per-pack insert.


375 - Dontonio Wingfield - Wingfield was probably better known for his legal troubles than his playing career. That's a pretty sweet Sonics warm-up, though.


329 - Rony Seikaly - Wow, it's DJ Rony again!


399 - Golden State Warriors Trivia - Get it?


433 - Toni Kukoc Gold Mine - These probably sounded good on paper, but they're absolutely garish to look at.


305 - Steve Smith - The backs look like classic NBA Hoops cards, which is nice.

The team logo/trivia cards are interesting. Kudos to Hoops for trying something different. Overall I'm not a big fan of the overall design, but the card backs are nice.

Ripped a ton of Hoops back in the day .yeah not the greatest design. All the stats on the back are great. Fun cards .

Wow I didn't know they seeded the Team Logo cards so frequently.

This is my third favorite set ever. I love it! The first NBA box I ever opened may have been this set...I completed it long ago.
