Trivia

  • Cards were originally issued as two panels of nine perforated cards in Oscar Combs' Big Blue Basketball magazine in the Spring 1991 (vol. 5, no. 1 issue), which sold for $2.95.

    At the same time the magazine was printed, the publisher ordered the printing of all of the cards on a thicker, more traditional card stock and these were professionally cut. These cards were stored away until the players had used their college eligibility up.

These were originally published in Oscar Combs' Big Blue Basketball Magazine, Spring 1991 (Volume 5 #1). Subscribers received the set in the center of the magazine as a sheet of 18 perforated cards.

Combs and Wildcat News published the Cats' Pause which was a source for UK basketball information for fans before the internet. The magazine was printed around four times a year and sometimes included cards, posters or photos as a bonus.

When these were printed they were also printed on heavier paper stock and were die-cut without the perforations. The die-cut versions were not released until after the players were out of college and are rarer than the perforated version.

The die-cut versions are not reprints. I saw them in-person before they were released while I was a University of Kentucky student who frequented The Cats' Pause retail store.

As far as I know this is Shaq's first trading card.
