Inserted at a rate of one in every first and second series pack, cards from this 44-piece standard-size set were 1.25 times easier to pull than regular issue cards. The set contains a selection of some of the NBA's top stars and rookies. The first twenty-two cards, issued exclusively in first series packs, were designed in three different parallel styles (Bordered, Borderless and Borderless Refractors). The last twenty-two cards, issued exclusively in second series packs, were also designed in three different parallel styles (Bronze, Silver and Gold). Collectors had to peel off a dark protective coating to find out what version of the card they had obtained. The first series Mystery cards feature a radically different design to the second series. Each first series Bordered card front features a bronze outline, framing a cut-out action shot of the player against a metallic basketball background. The second series Bronze cards feature a mosaic-style, tiled border with bronze-colored features, framing a cut-out action shot of the player. The prices listed below are for the more common Bordered and Bronze cards. Values provided below are for peeled cards. Read Less »
