Year: 1999-00
Set: Topps Chrome (Rate)
Card: #59 Darrell Armstrong
“ I used to really love Topps Chrome. It used to be one of my favorite sets. Then I started scanning my collection, and now I don't love them as much. In hand they still look great but getting a scan out of them is a chore. This sets is particularly bad to scan for some reason, worse then other years of the brand. Darrell Armstrong was in the NBA years before he got cards, but eventually he was starting point guard on some good but injury riddled Magic teams. I still do a double take when I come across one of his Hornets cards, he's so ingrained as a member of the Magic in my head. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Great action shot with no other player in the picture. My kind of basketball card. ” -Sportzcommish
“ Nineties era card for Basketball. I'm not a big fan of either so I'll pass on this one other than to say it isn't a bad image just plastered on a chrome card. ” -koloth42
“ The chrome makes him look super skinny. ” -carthage44
“ Odd to see an in-game action shot without any other players in-frame. Tough to read (of course, chrome), but I like the clean layout. No excuse for the microscopic font size on the back. ” -dilemma19
“ Chrome. Not my fave type of card. Back no major complaints. Don't really need a photo of the player on the back, that may just be me. Front OK design would be better non-chrome. ” -captkirk42
“ Okay, I admit it, I hate Chrome cards. Not just the scans on this site (or others). I don't even like the ones I have. However I will say that I like this design. If it were not chrome, I think it would be a winner for me. I'm especially partial to the back on this card. ” -kents_stuff
“ This is literally the first Topps Chrome card I may have ever seen. The only other time would have been on RCOTD, but I can't recall if there was one. As for my thoughts? Meh?!?! Would have been better in non chrome form, I think. ” -muskie027
“ It's OK ” -switzr1
