Interesting NIL Possibility

[Magic32]

I know UConn has had basketball cards before but don't believe they've done something like this.
I love the idea. Would anyone else be interested?

Tennessee Cards

A UConn version would sell well around here.

I saw UConn cards somewhere last year but I’m not sure they were autographed. These might do well if they are from a reputable company and hold value. Need to make them extremely limited though.

I am down for UConn trading cards. Write this to the proper people at UConn or else I will and tell them I found it and that it was my idea .

BTW, your avatar is my favorite out of all BoneYard era.

UConn had them last year through the players trunk.

There was a series with autos from Hass, Tristen, Joey C and maybe one other player.

They also did cards with pieces of gampel court on them.

I wish I were 12 again. I would've gone nuts if they sold college bball cards.
How would trades go??
Ill give you a Todd Day Freshman card for your Malcolm Mackey error.

Tweeted it to AD Dave this morning because I forgot how active he was on Twitter, couldn't message because I'm not verified. I asked a friend that is a graphic artist to make an avatar for me while we were rolling last year since I have no creative skill, I said we were steamrolling the competition and he came up with that.

My kid has been getting into trading cards now after I spent my allowance on packs and boxes of cards years ago in my youth (shout out Ray’s Card Corner in Seymour! Lol). Cards are really nice (and not cheap) now and have crazy stuff attached to them. My son bought a Trevor Zegras hockey card last week that had a piece of his game used jersey attached.

I’d be 100% in for UConn NIL cards...for my kid of course. Missed last year’s version. I’m not sure exactly what they are but a quick EBay search shows a few versions of Stephon Castle cards made by Bowman.

They actually did years ago in the early 90’s. Forget who made them but Shaq’s card was the pick of the litter at the time. Ironically I’m pretty sure I did have a Todd Day card and I seem to remember repeatedly getting Tom Gugliotta in every pack. Lol

Yeah Topps has the Bowman U cards, the most recent year has Steph, Solo, Paige and Aaliyah and I think autographs are available from all 4.

I recently got into the cards as a little way to collect our pantheon of NBA greats and NBA… guys who were there for a minute. It’s cool that you can get some pretty unique rare cards from some of our barely drafted guys at dirt cheap prices. Not a lot of people looking for the rarest of rare Tyrese Martin cards for example

Would be great if they could put together card sets of past teams; maybe a delux set with each of the 5 (6 ) Natty teams. The signed version in one out of every ten sets is smart as interested consumers will buy multiple sets looking to get the signatures.

The players Trunk came out with a set last year that was fantastic..
Complete set ..
Autographed stuff honestly keep seperate

 

[McLovin]

They had these last season (and I bought some autographed ones) but doesn't look like they did it for this season for whatever reason...

Didn't classic 4 sport make college cards in the early nineties?

 

[McLovin]

I also designed these myself last offseason because I thought it would be cool to have some holographic / patch insert cards but couldn’t figure out how to make these at a cost that would be attainable for consumers and profitable for players…

 

[AdamaNation]

There is a custom Lego guy. I’m trying to get a set of each championship team.

 

[Magic32]

I never heard back from AD Dave on Twitter but I'm not verified so could not message directly. Feel free to send him a message if you can, seems like twitter (X) is his preferred platform. Ever since I posted that my feed has blown up with cards from so many different schools. I somehow missed last years for us.

Just got targeted (successfully) for this which says releases on March 8.
The Uconn version, has Spencer on the box. The checklist they link to shows Auburn so not sure who is included, but I assume almost all players as you get 84 cards in a box.
