197.1REFINE::ASHEHomey don't play that...Mon Oct 15 1990 16:2813
    I bought a box over the weekend at a local shop for $19.  Went to
    a show over the weekend and they were going from $17-$20.  There
    are 336 cards in the set.  I got 326 of them.  Only had 6 triples,
    I was happy.  Still need two more.
    
    They look a lot like the 90 Hoop set, except the all-star cards
    are gold around the sides of the pictures, the regular ones are silver
    and the rookies, MVP, coach of year, etc. are all indicated on the
    front.  I was impressed.
    
    There is a Ferry card.

197.2Hoops cardPHAROS::SYSTEMMon Oct 15 1990 16:438
    I just picked 2 boxes for $16.95 ea, will open them up-tonight and
    see if I can get a set or two. I brought a pack for .50 just to see
    what they look like and was also impressed with the cards,looks like
    its made of good material. Gray front like the Leaf card with players
    picture or action shot, the back of the card yellow with the stats.

197.3What? errors in a fine set like Hoops?WRKSYS::SCHWARTZTue Oct 16 1990 10:587
    
      I like the cards also. Very nice looking, but some have the backs way
    off center. The set is not w/o errors though. To start with look for
    the all star team checklist (#13) to be missing it's number. Now let
    me see!...Where have I seen this before?????

197.5NBA HOOPS POSTER??AKOV13::GASPARONIMon Oct 29 1990 13:064
    I just received in the mail on Saturday, a freebie from Hoops.  It was
    a 8"X11" poster of David Robinson, and a little story card of Doc
    Rivers.  Did anyone else receive anything like this in the mail.  It
    came in a plastic baggy with NBA Hoops literature in it.
197.6SAGE::JACUNSKIMon Oct 29 1990 13:194
    I got the same package, only the booklet featured Dennis Rodman. The
    photo may have been Rodman, too, but not being a hoops fan, I really
    didn't notice. Next they'll have stickers, stamps, discs, keychains,
    etc.
197.7Hoops Card # 13PHAROS::SYSTEMMon Oct 29 1990 14:445
    AnyOne know if card #13 is an error card? I have seen it with
    the number 13 printed on top over the NBA logo and some with
    out.

197.8'91 HoopsBLKWDO::RABINOMon Oct 29 1990 16:0810
     What is the most expensive Hoops '90-'91 card. Is it still Robinson?
    I have'nt picked up my new Beckett yet, is the Dec issue out yet? I
    like the gold all star cards they look great. I bought a box of '91
    wax packs for $12.00 bucks at the discount store. What do they 
    normally go for?

197.10I got two more posters.AKOV13::GASPARONITue Oct 30 1990 16:504
    I got two more in the mail yesterday, Larry "Happy" Bird and another
    Robinson, with little card books enclosed.  Where are these little
    posters coming from, and why are they sending them out?  Is this some
    promo deal to get you hooked on Hoops cards.  I hate basketball!
197.11NUTMEG::JACUNSKITue Oct 30 1990 16:591
    They think you're a dealer!
197.12SONG::ASHESilicon chip inside her head is set to overloadTue Oct 30 1990 17:431
    It's from sending away for piston cards and checklists...

    Please, not that, me a dealer?  Thats it, I did send a way for the 
    Piston cards, so they must be exchanging data.

197.20HOOPS Series IIPHAROS::SYSTEMFri Feb 15 1991 13:588
    	The Hoops II are out, I got a wax box yesterday. Pretty
    nice subset, have rookie draft, stay in school, say no to drugs,
    behind the sceens and couple more. 
    	One thing that I didn't like was there's NO DEE BROWN card
    in this series II set. There A Piston card, wounder if it's going
    to take off like last years.

197.22Any Info???DECXPS::KIRKThu Mar 21 1991 07:359
    
    Hi,
    
      I have a 90-91 Hoops Jon Sundvold card with the number 172. The
    correct number for this card is 171, I believe, as I have about five
    with number 171. Is this an error card or am I missing something?
    
    Thanx for any info.. Kirk::Cslall
        
197.24hoopsHPSTEK::DCAUNTERFri Mar 22 1991 11:474
    It look like cards 171 (Jon Sundvold) and 172 (Billy Thompson) have
    variations , I have both card with the number reverse.
