<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">CARLSBAD, Calif. -- At times, LeBron James acted like a kid in a candy store. He was, after all, a 20-year-old NBA superstar in a trading card manufacturing plant. James toured Upper Deck's headquarters on Wednesday, watching the many steps it takes to produce trading cards while accompanied by five fans who won a company promotion. James even had the rare chance to pick the photo for his upcoming card in the NBA Sweet Shot series. "Let's go for the dunk," said James, selecting a photo showing him airborne with the ball in his right hand, headed toward the basket, shot by a camera mounted behind the backboard. With the help of a photo editor, the picture was cropped and a color border added in keeping with the series format. "I remember purchasing packs of cards," James said later, reflecting on his childhood. "The faces on the cards, a lot of them were Michael Jordan. Now I go to the store, and I see my face. It's amazing how things can turn in such a dramatic fashion." The Cleveland Cavaliers' forward also went eye-to-eye with a seemingly larger-than-life model of Batman on display in the building's entertainment wing. "I've got to get me one of those," said James more impressed with Batman than a smaller version of Spiderman nearby.</div> Source
Ya, collecting basketball cards is great for young nba fans. I can imagine that must be really cool to collect cards then be on one and pick the picture.
