How I Arrived at the Hobby Score

Allen Iverson’s 1996 Upper Deck rookie card comes from a brand that had a relatively short tenure in the basketball card market. Upper Deck began producing NBA cards in the early 1990s and continued until the late 2000s. Known for their clean designs and high-quality printing, Upper Deck cards stood out during their time in the hobby, even though the brand is more closely associated with baseball and hockey cards.

This card has a total PSA population of just over 2,400, making it one of the rarer Iverson rookie cards compared to others from the same year. Its design reflects Upper Deck’s focus on premium aesthetics, with a clean layout and sharp photography. While Upper Deck’s presence in basketball was limited, their cards remain a part of the hobby’s history, and this Iverson rookie is a notable example of their work during that era.
