This is now retro-retro! It is how retro cards were back in the 90s.

I didn't look at the back when I first saw it (hard to do on my tablet) but I actually like the back of the card quite a bit here. I like it more than the NBA Retro set of the same time frame, in fact.

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.
