The debut of Chronology Basketball is proving you can never have too much of a good thing as most collectors have been overwhelmed with the content. The real excitement in the product however comes with some of the higher end chase elements. Cut autograph cards of Pete Maravich and Basketball’s inventor, James Naismith have begun appearing and are commanding top dollar as they feature some of the rarest signatures to ever make it to market.

The Contemporaries insert is apparently another fan favorite with a signature of two superstars on the same card limited to just 25. Some of the most popular so far appear to be the autograph tandems of Dennis Rodman and Bill Laimbeer, Clyde Drexler & Hakeem Olajuwan, Magic Johnson & Jud Heathcote, John Wooden & Kareem Abdul-Jabbar along with most sought after card in this set, Dean Smith & Michael Jordan.

There is also a draft pick program with exchange cards for rookies in the upcoming season. This has been one of the most anticipated draft classes in recent years. These exchange cards are good for one manufactured letterman patch card which should be available towards the start of the season. There are three different levels of cards produced with the blue base version numbered to 250, the silver version numbered to 50 and the gold version numbered to 10.

Some collectors who redeemed their cards immediately noticed errors through our on-line site, but those have been addressed.
