    I'm not a professional when it comes to collecting cards, but I do like to have a set of my guys each year. So far this year, what I see available are

    Topps
    Aldridge
    Bayless
    Blake
    Oden
    Outlaw
    Roy
    Webster

    Upper Deck
    Aldridge
    Bayless
    Blake
    Frye
    Oden
    Roy
    Webster

    with throwbacks of
    Drexler
    Lucas
    Walton

    I assume these are just first editions, but I'm finding it difficult to get information from the companies themselves as to when they'll start releasing more. I'm not necessarily interested in the Super Hardcore Hardcourt Numbered MVP Legend Jersey Cards with 24 karat gold trim set to the company's style 50 years ago in their bazillion different sets, but I'll buy a card if I like it. I just really want to get the whole team for completion.

    So far nobody's released
    Fernandez
    Przybilla
    Rodriguez
    Batum
    Diogu
    LaFrentz

    I know not everyone may get a card, but some of these guys really ought to. Anybody have any information as to when more complete editions are due?

    i AM a professional (dealer) :ghoti:

    upper deck is split into 2 series this year and series 2 will definitely
    have rudy and batum, and probably one or more of the other guys.
    unfortunately it won't be out until mid-season, i'm guessing Feb.

    as far as i know there are no plans for a second series or update
    from topps.

    i don't see anything else that is likely to have more than 7-8
    blazers. NBA sets tend to be pretty small and focused on
    rookies & top stars, with not much room for non-rookie
    bench players.

    True that, to squish the entire loaf and finger through each slice of bread just to get that trading card at the bottom was the best!

    What about the card in the early 80's that the Police used to hand out. If you saw a cop, all you had to do was scream Blazer cards and they would hand them out. I still have Kermit Washington, Billy Ray Bates and a bunch more!
