Hoops

The NBA's licensed set of the era.

NBA Hoops arrived in 1989 as one of two brands sharing the NBA license that year (with Fleer). It's remembered less for design than for two error cards that became playground folklore: the 1990 Hoops Sam Vincent card mistakenly displays Michael Jordan's #12 uniform from a 1990 game where Jordan wore #12 after his jersey was stolen, and the 1990 Hoops Mark Jackson features Lyle and Erik Menendez seated behind Jackson months before their arrest.
