A Penny For Your Thoughts: '97 Z-Force Big Man On Court

'97 Z-Force Anfernee Hardaway Big Man On Court
You all know my affinity for great 90's inserts and Penny Hardaway cards, so it should be of no surprise that I'm back with another Penny For Your Thoughts post. This installment of one of my favorite post series features a 1997 Z-Force Big Man On Court card (BMOC). The BMOC set is highlighted by some of the best die cut action and the most vibrant color scheme I've seen in any trading card insert set from yesteryear or today. It should be of no surprise that the set was produced by the SkyBox company. During the 90's, SkyBox came up with a multitude of creative designs and the BMOC set is one of my favorites.

The set is fairly rare with an insertion rate of 1:240. Although I'd like to, I have not started building the set. I only have the Hardaway right now. I just have too many other sets I'm currently putting together. However, this ten card set is high on the future build list and the Hardaway is a nice start. On the other hand, if anyone out there has a card from this set they would like to trade, I certainly would listen.

Hope you enjoyed this latest installment of A Penny For Your Thoughts. I know this is a post about a basketball card and set, but I'm really excited about the upcoming MLB season starting this Thursday. So with that said, "Happy Collecting and… Enjoy Every Crack Of The Bat".
