Insert Sets (14)

		1996 NBA Draft Redemptions Inserted 1:18 Series One Hobby/Retail packs and 1:12 Series One Jumbo packs. Card could be redeemed for an upgraded Draft Pick card of the player selected at that draft pick position. Anyone redeeming #14 (Predrag Stojakovic) or #23 (Efthimios Rentzias) received a random draft pick card in exchange instead since those players did not sign NBA contracts prior to the redemption deadline.
		Finest Reprints Inserted 1:36 Series Two packs. The other 25 cards from this 50-card set were inserted into packs of 1996-97 Stadium Club (Series One) and are listed as an insert within that set. Reprint set card numbers are in small print on the back.
		Finest Reprints Refractor Inserted 1:144 Series Two packs. The other 25 cards from this 50-card set were inserted into packs of 1996-97 Stadium Club (Series One) and are listed as an insert within that set. Reprint set card numbers and "Refractor" are in small print on the back.
		Hobby Masters #HM11-HM20 inserted 1:36 Series One Hobby packs and #HM21-HM30 inserted 1:36 Series Two Hobby packs.

Cards were numbered #HM11-HM30 as part of a Topps cross-sport insert set, although 1996 Topps Football and 1997 Topps Baseball each have their own #HM11-HM20.
