A couple of unusual additions
to my Allen Iverson collection. A 2000 Stadion Cards from the Czech Republic
and a pair of 2003 Upper Deck Lego cards.
The Stadion cards were part of
a multi-national/multi-sport set out of the Czech Republic and was made up
mostly of soccer (football) and hockey stars but they got in a couple of NBA
players like Shaq, Kobe and Iverson. There are also cards from tennis, racing
and cycling, an interesting idea for a set.
The Lego cards came from Upper
Deck and I do not know exactly how they were distributed, I would expect as
part of a promotion with Lego. The set is made up of 24 base cards as well as a 24
card Gold parallel, which have different images than the base set.
Cool cards. I wonder if the Czech Republic cards were officially licensed?
ReplyDeleteAll of the Stadion cards that I have seen do have the player and team names, but as far as being licensed that is a good question. I don’t see any copyright or licensing info on the card besides the photo info so I would guess they don’t have the licenses.
DeleteThe Lego cards came with a mini-figure. I think I have posted the ad for them to the Trading Card Database. I never saw them when they were new but I picked up a couple when I found them as singles at a local dealer. The Stadion set is one I've heard of but have never seen in person.
ReplyDeleteI posted the lego cards with figure once on my blog
ReplyDeleteMy friend gave me a Lego set years ago... that included a hoop, a few balls, and a minifigure of Kobe (maybe two others). Pretty sure the set also included a card. Gonna need to dig them up and see if I still have them.
