I don't care what the brand is or what the era is. It is always great to pull a Michael Jordan card from a pack. Past that, there are two more HOFers here with Wilkins and Petrovic (who I'd completely forgotten had played for the Blazers at one point), as well as Mike Smrek. Back when he and Bill Wennington were the only Canadians in the NBA, their stats would always make the paper. And something I didn't know unitl I wiki'ed him - Rickey Green scored the NBA's 5 Millionth point.
Off to Fleer!

Ugh. Dupes from the other pack. Still, you gotta love Sky Walker rocking the flat top.

I'd say next please, but I do like the photo on Ellington, and the fact the inset picture does give a decent look at the '00' memorial stripe for Kevin Duckworth.
Absolute Memorabilia.

A Raptor! A former Raptor! A future Raptor! Good star power as well, but that's to be expected with a non-SP base set of only 100.
And finally, Classics.

I'm not a fan of having the action behind the featured played removed, but here, they really work with the solid team colours. Looking at some of the COMC scans, it is even better with teams that have very distinctive colours, such as the Celtics and Lakers. And the closest thing to a hit in the re-package with the numbered Anderson.
Lots of fun with this one, with an interesting variety of sets. Every pack at least had something worthwhile about it, in terms of star power, or interesting photos. And that's what you want from repacks.
