1996 Upper Deck USA Basketball Forum

Hi all

To BigEd76

Sorry, for long time to post this.

I submitted a report, about silver set in 1996 Upper Deck USA.

Possible missing related set:

SetName: Portraits of Power Silver
TotalCards: 12

Additional Info:

Redemption set,
Parallel silver script of Portraits of Power
Checklist is same PP of base set, same card number
Included Richmond #60 and Barkley #59
Set was sealed in a bag of the 12 players of team USA

I don't find on TCDB, i have already Malone and other from the set Pippen, Olajuwon, Hill

I buy it lot of years ago, on ebay. 

 You can see that the cards are not faded

If you have informations about this, i am curious

Thanks

Thanks for the scans. When I researched a few months ago, I couldn't find a redemption card or mail-in offer (wrappers or just money) or anything, so I also wanted to see how these were made available to the public, if anyone is able to find anything.

Note also that the hologram is a different color. This was something UD did with parallels quite often at this time. 

Has anything further been done with this? There is both a silver and a gold Portraits of Power card in my collection. I'm not sure which was the base as it was over 25 years ago. Also, I see no difference in the colors of the holograms.

Nobody knows how they were distributed

Hi @BigEd76,

in my ebay historic

I probably just found the purchase of the set.
It was in 2005 on ebay.
Item was named as: 1996 UD USA BKB Olympic GOLD Rare TEST SET-Shaquille

By searching on Ebay again, you would find complete sets that are in a box (indeed, this detail I had forgotten after 17 years)

I hope it will help you

Best regards

I have just bought the box set without the box. I would have bought a single but they would only move the lot. 

I will scan the set when it arrives and could add the checklist at that time if nobody has already done so

Perfect Jeff

The set is up now and all the scans are saved https://www.tcdb.com/Checklist.cfm/sid/383571/1996-Upper-Deck-USA---Portraits-of-Power---Silver
