About

Our Mission

While there's lots of great information sources within websites, social media, apps, spreadsheets and in the minds of collectors; it can get lost, it can be confusing to decipher fact from fiction and it can be overwhelming.

Our goal is to help preserve and pass on the knowledge of basketball cards. We aim to provide it in a visual and easily digestible way, but with plenty of information to help both first time collector as well as the most seasoned ones.

Card Guides

This series of interactive guides have been developed to be as flexible as possible. There is something for everyone, whether you're a first time collector or a seasoned veteran. There will one guide issued each month and they cover three main categories:

Time periods e.g Pre-war, 1940s, 1950s, ...
Player cards e.g Jordan 1980s, Kobe rookies, ...
Tributes & Sets e.g HOF Players, Star cards, ...

Print Version
There will also be a limited edition print version offered for each guide.

Community Support

Perhaps the best thing about this hobby, besides pulling a Auto Jersey RC 1/1 card, are the people you meet. And fortunately, many of them have been kind enough to provide images, info and feedback as we have put together these guides.

Want to help?
