UConn trading card thread

[ctbro1999]

Looked around but didn't see an off topic board that really fits, and since this is (mainly about) the UConn men trading cards, figured I'd post it here. If a mod wants to move it to another forum they feel fits the topic better, by all means go ahead. But for UConn related trading card discussion, hop on in!

I collected sports cards back when I was a kid in the early 90s, and recently got back into HR hobby. Licensed college cards only recently came back, so I dove in last year. My mission is to complete the Solomon Ball rainbow set (collecting all alternate versions of a player's base card) for 2023/24 Bowman University Best Basketball. I've gotten most of the easier to get cards, but the rarer copied obviously have been harder to get. There is also a 1 out of 1 "superfractor" out there somewhere for Ball but seems like it hasn't surfaced yet ...gonna be hard to get that one.

Hoped to complete the rainbow set before the season started (and Ball goes off) but not looking likely.

Also a few other cards of Castle I've gotten (and my holy grail card of Paige and Stephon).

Picked up this really cool number match /50, on-card auto Liam McNeeley from the new Topps Chrome.

Topps/Fanatics has gone a bit crazy with the prices for sealed product compared to Panini, but I do appreciate they seem to have a lot more on-card autos. This definitely would have been a sticker in Prizm.

Got a green /5 Diarra college ticket so moved that into the best of and took the /50 for the red set.

4 cards left.
