After the 2000 NBA Finals, Topps got ahold of the jerseys that the two participants wore and made finals jersey cards out of them. The teams were my beloved Los Angeles Lakers and the Indiana Pacers. Topps made three variations of the jersey cards; Topps Total, Topps Gold Label, and Topps Final Piece. Total and Gold Label had both home and away versions while Final Piece only had away jerseys. When these came out I was brand new to ebay and along with Aaron Sele cards they were my main targets at the time. So here we are sixteen years later and there were still three that I need. Last week on ebay I picked up one of those three.
It's the 2000-01 Topps Gold Label Finals Jersey (away jersey) of Ron Harper. It's been a couple of years since I've seen any available anywhere. Those who have them must be holding onto them. Here's the back of the card.
I have two left, both of A.C. Green.
Love this forgotten set. I have Rik Smits and John Salley in my collection, and I think one or two more.. the Gold Label versions are my favorite.
