Well, should you be fortunate enough to rip open a box of 2003-04 SPx basketball, you just might be able to have those questions answered.
In fact, there is a long list of autographed jersey rookie cards randomly inserted in packs of SPx, including LeBron and Carmelo. Look for Darko Milicic, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh, as well.
In addition to the autographed rookie jerseys are autographed Flashback Fabrics, which contain autographs and a jersey swatch from past rookie greats such as Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. Also randomly inserted are the benchmark Winning Materials and Winning Combos dual game-used memorabilia cards.
There are also a slew of serial-numbered cards such as SPXcellence and non-autographed rookie cards, as well as the ever-popular Spectrum parallels.
Here are the highlights of our hobby box break: Autographed rookie jersey (Jerome Beasley), Winning Materials (Joe Smith), Winning Combos (Darius Miles, Carlos Boozer).
