Random Card of the Day



Thursday, January 3, 2019

Year: 1993-94

Set: SkyBox Premium - Dynamic Dunks (Rate)

Card: #D5 Shawn Kemp


“ I miss the Sonics. And to me, Shawn Kemp is THE Sonic when I think of the franchise. This card is all mirror foil so whoever scanned it got the yellow lettering to show pretty well. I don't think I have this particular card but I have others from this insert and I know they are not easy to scan. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I do not remember this set at all, and I was collecting basketball cards big-time in 1993. ” -switzr1

“ The Reign Man ” -Young Kilo

“ Lol, awful. It looks like you are supposed to collect 9 cards and put them together to make a puzzle pic. I have the head, now I need the legs, the court, and the rest of the pic! ” -muskie027

“ This could be the worst picture I have seen on a sports card. This needed to be a vertical card so you can see the legs and be impressed with the dunk. I would give the front a 0, the back a 0. SkyBox should send apology letters to anyone that got this card and be begging the great Shawn Kemp for forgiveness. ” -davidhandberry

“ Dunks was one of the reasons I strayed away from Basketball around the late 1970s early 80s just as greats like Michael Jordan were about to begin their careers. It is a part of the game I grew tired of as it became "the thing" to do in the game. To be honest this card looks like two backs, or that the front should be part of a puzzle. ” -captkirk42

“ The card is.... ummmm.... not very attractive, but at least it has a huge D. ” -LordKinbote

“ B-o-r-i-n-g ” -NJDevils

“ Not bad, I think that the photo on the back would have been more suited to the front--you know the actual finish of the dunk rather than in the air. But that's just me ” -rmitchell6700

I can't believe all the negative replies for this card. I loved this insert set when this release came out. I still like the design and layout of the set, even though I don't collect NBA cards anymore. I was a big Kemp fan back then too. I never had this specific card, but if I'd gotten it then, I'd probably still have it.

I think mid-90s Skybox had my favorite inserts ever. I don't remember this set, but if it's similar to the other inserts that followed in the next couple of years, I'm sure it looks much better in hand than in the scan.

less lettering more kemp on the front, the back should have been a full figure of kemp slamming home

I enjoyed collecting this set back in the day and trying to get all the inserts. I enjoyed this era of basketball cards. Not so much anymore. Brings back memories for sure.
