Description: Thanks for stopping by America's Pastime, LTD. for sale is a 1991-92-93 USA Olympic Basketball Dream Team Super Lot 4 Factory Sealed Box's MINT w/ Discounted Shipping It’s impossible to quantify the greatest team ever. It’s hard enough to compare the 1927 New York Yankees to the 1996 squad. Different players, different eras — one could argue that baseball itself changed dramatically in those seven-plus decades. It gets even harder to when you cross sports. Were the Showtime-era Lakers better than the Wayne Gretzky-led Edmonton Oilers dynasty of the 1980s? You can make all the Venn diagrams you want, but you really can’t come up with some criteria to say which is better. But then there’s the 1992 USA Men’s Olympic Basketball squad — the Dream Team. They plowed through the competition — if one could really call it that — in Barcelona. In eight Olympic games, they won every game by more than 30 points. There were no bumps on the road to gold. Three decades later, the legacy of the Dream Team can still be seen. Eleven of the 12 players on the roster have gone on to the Basketball Hall of Fame. It’s a collection of generation-defining superstars: Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Charles Barkley, David Robinson and, of course, Michael Jordan. Here’s a look at the Dream Team cards you will be getting in this awesome 1991-92-93 USA Olympic Basketball Dream Team Super Lot. 1991-92 Hoops Series 2 1991-92 Hoops is one of the first places collectors could find basketball cards of players wearing their instantly iconic Dream Team jerseys. Found in Series 2 packs, ten players and all four coaches are part of the subset. Clyde Drexler, the final NBA star selected for the team, and college standout Christian Laettner, are the only two missing. These 14 cards all use studio shots with players wearing their jerseys. The Dream Team isn’t the only Olympic content in the set. A handful of cards highlight players from past USA teams going as far back as Walter Davis in 1976.There’s also a special unnumbered gold foil insert with the USA Basketball logo on the front and a brief background on the initial selections for the 1992 team. 1991-92 SkyBox Series 2 The 1992 Dream Team cards found in 1991-92 SkyBox follow a similar path as their Hoops counterparts. A subset in Series 2, there’s the same lineup of ten players and four coaches. Capping things off is a three-card puzzle that forms a panoramic team photo. The squad shows up again on a special gold foil non-numbered insert.Although he’s not available in packs, a Clyde Drexler card was available through a mail-away offer. To receive one, collectors had to send in ten Series 2 wrappers and $1.00. A total of 10,000 of the Drexler cards were available.1992 SkyBox USAAlthough this full standalone release focuses on the 1992 U.S. Olympic Men’s Basketball team, there’s only one that actually shows players in their USA Basketball uniforms — and it’s an insert.The main set has 110 cards. The first ten players each have nine cards, acting as a resumé of sorts. Cards breakdown individual accolades and accomplishments. It’s also perfect for nine-pocket pages. Players, though, are all pictured in NBA uniforms, not the ones they’d wear in Barcelona. The four coaches each have two cards. A pair of checklists follow. The base set rounds out with Magic Johnson offering his thoughts on his teammates. A team card, which is on plastic stock, is where the Olympic threads come in. 1992-93 SkyBox Series 1 Olympic Team Running under the theme of “The Road to Gold,” this 12-card insert set highlights everything from exhibition games leading up to Barcelona through to the gold medal.
