Year: 1996-97

Set: Ultra - Scoring Kings Plus (Rate)

Card: #13 Shaquille O'Neal


“ Is Shaq underwater in the Pacific Ocean? ” -rmpaq5

“ 1996-97 Ultra is my all-time favorite NBA set. This insert is probably the least flattering of the entire set. I still want to add it to my collection. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ So other than the word "Plus" printed on the back of the card, what's the difference between the "Scoring Kings" and "Scoring Kings Plus" inserts? They otherwise look identical based on the images here. Oh, and nice photos but lousy graphic design. ” -bevans

“ Funny looking card featuring Shaq's arm, with his body making a cameo appearance. ” -olerud363

“ What's not to like about Shaq? It's got a unique design. I've added this one to my Want List. ” -Sportzcommish

“ He is a big man. ” -carthage44

“ Too fancy for me. Reminds me of the Pacific now Panini Crown Royale fancy smanchy designs. ” -captkirk42

“ I normally like Fleer Ultra, but this card seems to have an identity crisis. It looks way to much like a flamboyant Pacific. ” -cnangle

“ A lot of wasted purple on top. I do love the perspective of the picture, the more I look at it, the cooler I think the concept is. I just wish it filled a little more of the frame. ” -muskie027

“ Nice!!! I love this card and miss the insert designs on the 90s. They felt as though the designer put time into them. ” -nubala

“ "Barbecue chicken!!!" ” -mkaz80

I don't have any of the Plus cards, but based on the Ultra logo being foil, it leads me to believe the purple field is foil, or possibly etched. The standard Scoring Kings insert has a gold foil logo that looks different.

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.

Its interesting that multiple members compared this to a Pacific card.

My two-cents is worth slightly more than a penny.
