Did you collect basketball cards back in 1991?1991 was a pivotal year for a hobby surge in basketball cards. Upper Deck launched its first basketball product and the first key marketable rookie was entering the NBA since David Robinson. Larry Johnson was at a level that Shaq's RC reached, before Shaq was a rookie. 1991 Upper Deck basketball was the first of its kind, and Larry Johnson was coming off an amazing college career that led to crossover into mainstream media.
Larry Johnson would go on to lead a long and successful NBA career, and it was cool to pick up this rookie card in PSA 10 form as it was a HUGE deal when I was a kid collecting cards. While I've moved away from the NBA a bit, there is still something cool about picking up key NBA RCs from guys I grew up watching and rooting for.
