Upper Deck Finite Basketball

Where else can the average collector brag about pulling the first ever serial-numbered Clark Kellogg card? Or how about Walter Davis? Look no further than Upper Deck Finite, my friends.

And believe me, the fun in the sun does not stop there.

From Julius “Dr.J” Erving to Larry Bird to Michael Jordan to LeBron James – this set represents the top ballers from every generation, as well as the Kellogg’s and Davis’s of the world.

In addition to each card being individually serial-numbered, there are also a plethora of game-worn memorabilia cards, both single and dual. Look for game-worn memorabilia cards of today’s top rookies including James and Carmelo Anthony.

On top of the memorabilia cards, there are randomly inserted certified autographs of players such as Jordan, James, Anthony, Chris Bosh and Yao Ming, just to name a few.

Our box did not yield much of note, with the exception of one big pull – Andre Miller Finite Signatures hand-numbered to 10. Despite the lack of “money” cards, the product was spectacular and a lot of fun to open.

Expect to pay $13-15 per pack.
