To really understand this card, please read the information on the 1995-96 Topps Finest set. It is essential to understand the set as a whole to fully appreciate this card!
The Card: The #70 Nick Van Exel from the 1995-96 Finest set is often overlooked. In the 2001 Standard Catalog of Sports Cards, it was listed at a price of $1.00, placing it above the common card or “minor stars.” It is a wonderful representative of the “point guard” design in this particular Finest set. The point guards had a green background within the blue border. One of the main reasons we encourage you not to overlook common cards is for the information on the back. In addition to the basic statistical information, this card mentions an AWESOME moment in NBA playoff history! May 16, 1995: a Western Semifinal Playoff game. Van Exel hit a 3 at the end of the game to force overtime. And he won the game with another 3 at the buzzer in overtime. Enjoy this card, and enjoy this trip back in time with the highlight below!
