Then and Now: 1993-94 Hoops Magic's All-Rookie Team

Back in college, I was lucky enough to pull the Webber issue from a pack from my local card shop (remember those?). It was THE rookie card from THE set of THE player of that year. Now you can find the card for super cheap online.

This Week's Worst: Week 2

1994-95 SkyBox Head of the Class Exchange Set
SkyBox had a good thing going with the Head of the Class exchange card starting with the 1991-92 Hoops release. But in a possible attempt to mirror the success of the Hoops Draft Redemption sets, they decided to go with a multi-card format instead of the single card with three players on each side. With a simplistic, blurred background, bad photography (specifically the Grant Hill), and the absence of individual serial numbers (differing from the previous issues), only Topps remains as the leader in ruining a popular series (Beam Team).
