Comments:

Very nice high-quality base set. All of the cards shown have a short bio of the player along with a section called Moments Of Excellence. On the bottom of the card is another section called; NBA or College Career Best. It lists the best stats from all of he years in the NBA or College. The Chris Webber base card is #d to /269, the Craig Smith RC is #d to /579 and the Luke Ridnour parallel is #d to /59


   GU Card Scan
Comments:

The GU pulled is of jason Kapono of the Miami Heat. The card is #d to /99 and is from the Final Score GU Insert set.


   Auto Card Scan
Comments:

The autograph pulled is of Maurice Ager of the Boston Celtics. A real nice auto/jersey piece from the Big Game Collection. This card is #d to /199. I wish some athletes would put a little more effort into their signatures.


   The Final Verdict!

I rate this pack a 4 of 5 HI Fives. 2006-07 Topps Big Game Collection Basketball is a nice high-quality card product. You can usually find these boxes in the $35 to $55 price range.
