Year: 2001-02

“ I loved the Inspirations set when it was new. Opened a couple of boxes. It doesn't hold up too well over time, but I still like it - even if it's now mostly for nostalgia reasons. This set had cards you could redeem for the 2002-03 rookie class, which I have chased a bit over the years. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ Rarely do I want to like a card so much and hate it. I was a big Chris Webber fan when he was with Michigan, still have a jersey somewhere. This card is just so bad though. They have a line on the side that is useless, the text fades into the picture, some weird background on parts of the picture, he is glowing, brown on a black background, so many negatives and I didn't even get to the back and I don't want to. This card gets a 0. ” -davidhandberry

“ not a very inspirational design for front of card ” -aussiewayne

“ Inspirations? Inspired by what exactly? I don't see Chris's name on the front at all. he looks like he is getting tasered from behind. Also not the greatest place to have the logo for some photos. Brand logo too big. Upper Deck logo is OK in size but that Inspirations logo way too big. Back a bit better. Head shot from the same Frankenstein shocked looking photo. ” -captkirk42

“ Mr. Webber looks to be screaming in agony in this shot. ” -John Kerry

“ Chris Weber, I forgive you. Some will never let you forget a mistake you made when you were 19. ” -cjjt

“ Something makes me laugh about this photo. ” -muskie027

“ Cool photo. I like this card. ” -switzr1

Are all the photos as bad as this one for the set?? It looks like he is dunking from the 3 point line and using his belly to project him. Or is this a photo of how to not make the shot? Really it this the best photo they could pick??? Augh! ------------------------------- What is that behind you!?! Oh, It's me! Looking at the cards you have, That I want. :)

One thing nobody complained about on this one- look closely at the logo. The foil is so thin that you can actually see through it. I can't remember if it was like that when it was new (I got this card in 2002 when it came out) but I don't think it was...the foil seems to be disappearing.

If you look closely at his left arm you can see the BBE in Webber. Bronze foil scans almost black.

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

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.

so this reminds me of the scene where the robots go nuts in westworld and shoot people as they run away... i like Mr. Webber. I have forgiven him for his NCAA Tournament error and would like this card in my collection...even tho the picture is horrible. the cropped scream on the back is terrible.
