Shaq's Best RC???

PSUguy

Opinions on his best RC in a PSA 10 holder?

1992 stadium club beam team? Members only beam team? 1992 upper deck?

Thoughts???

The most iconic is the regular Beam Team, so that is my vote. I never liked the more rare Members card since it came in factory set form and not pack pulled.

For psa set registry purposes it's 1992 upper deck 1a
not the trade version 1b

The Upper Deck 1a as Jay pointed out with the 92 Fleer a close 2nd(tough in 10).

When I flashback to the pandemonium that took place back in '92 when his stuff was released, I think about the Beam Team insert first. Sweetest looking card by a large margin in my opinion. After that I would vote for the Classic National promo auto that was also a great picture and sold for insane money. Those are the two that I would want in a 10 holder. I always liked the Magic's all rookie Hoops card too

Personally, I think the Upper Deck Mcdonald's issue is his best RC. Anyone wanna buy one? Or 12?

Is the classic national promo the one out of 150, 2500, or 8500? The one out of 2500 is the best looking, IMO.

Due to the tight cellophane wrappers, the inconsistent centering and imperfections with the gold stamping, I think the 1992 Topps Gold card is one of the toughest to pull in Gem Mint condition. Those are the same problems that make Derek Jeter's 1993 Topps card so tough in a PSA 10.

And judging by the low % of cards submitted grading out a 10, the 1992 Classic insert LP1 is also very tough. I think that is also the card that collectors will remember as the Shaq rookie they chased first and most heavily, as the 1992 Classic basketball Draft boxes were released a while before any other of Shaq cards came out.

def the 2500
