Year: 1994-95

Set: Collector's Choice French (Rate)

Card: #357 Sarunas Marciulionis


“ The lowest draft pick in the basketball Hall of Fame, a 7th rounder. First player to break the iron curtain and play in the NBA. When I first discovered the sport, I had the hardest time learning the proper spelling of his name than anyone in the league. Still involved with basketball in his native country last I knew, which was a few years ago now. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Those crazy French. ” -carthage44

“ Who's the guy with the big arm grabbing Sarunas? ” -cnangle

“ Love this Collector’s Choice design, even if I don’t collect basketball. ” -IfbBirdsCards

“ Ah Collector's Not Quite Choice. I like the fronts with the cartoon position guy in the corner. The white font for the name and team name is often washed out and hard to read. Needs contrast an outline or to be in a box. Back picture way too big, don't need photos on the back really. Only one year of stats. UGH. ” -captkirk42

“ The Sonics should never have left Seattle. Maybe someday the northwest will get another pro sports team besides the Seahawks. ” -rmitchell6700

“ Looks like the Sonic is tripping over the type at the bottom of the card and the Laker has an artificial leg made out of a tiny basketball player. ” -revnorb

“ Fire the editor! ” -Sportzcommish

“ Overall, I think these looked ok. I would have preferred a lager name and maybe a logo. Also, I would have liked a smaller Collector Choice branding. ” -muskie027

“ Nice, and most importantly DIFFERENT, action photos on both the front and back. ” -rmpaq5

“ The big hand photo bomb is actually a bit unnerving. Sometimes I wonder how these photos were selected. Surely a better one existed. ” -Brimose

Second time this year I get to give a shout-out to Lithuania! One of the greats! 

V3 (the middle V is for Varekojis — as Lithuanian as it gets)

I missed this one. Looks like one of the Kids In The Hall is in the foreground.


-------------------------------

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff.  Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.
