2000-01 Topps Basketball Forum

Does anyone have any idea why Alan Henderson has cards in both series I (#66) and series II. (#163), even thou we cannot speak of any team change or uniform update? The photos on the cards are even seem to be from the same game. Maybe we can add it to the trivia.

Note the inset pictures on the back: one with his glasses on, one with his glasses "off"

...clearly he is some kind of superhero with a secret identity, like Superman & Clark Kent, and that fooled the card makers at Topps :)

Also, according to the card text, his life improved from "nice" to "rich", maybe he paid someone off to appear twice.

They also removed the reference to 1998 NBA Most Improved Player award.

I've been wondering about that since Series 2 came out back in 2001. It was usually traded players and rookies in series 2...I don't get it, either.

I'm not huge on basketball knowledge, especially from that time period, but is it possible that perhaps he was rumored to be traded so Topps slapped him on the checklist, and then never removed him when a trade didn't materialize?
