Mystery Chinese cards

 Back in November of 2023 I went to an antique mall in North Carolina and grabbed a pack of a mystery NBA set. I finally found where I had put them and opened them up, and the mystery is no closer to being solved. 

Here's the pack. I used google lens but it didn't provide much help. 

Card fronts are colorful. They are just slightly smaller than standard size cards. So slightly that I didn't even notice they were different until I put them with some other cards. 

The card on the right is a contest card and I won a set of the rubber band bracelets. There's nowhere on the card or packaging to tell you how to get them though. 

The only date on the pack is 2015, but they MUST be newer than that since Anthony Davis didn't join the Lakers until 2019-20. Mario Chalmers last played for the Heat in 2015-16, so they are obviously pulling pictures from different seasons. The logos on the packaging and card backs seem to be a mix of ages as well, although I have to admit I can no longer truly remember when all the rebrandings have happened. I think the Kings, Suns and Nuggets logos are older than the others, and I don't remember the Atlanta Hawks being in Alabama either. 

I have no idea what year these were issued in. Anyone have an idea? 

June 2025 New People

 June was a weird month. It seemed like I did a lot of card stuff, but at the end it turned out it didn't. I only scanned 315 cards for the entire month and only 33 of them were done before June 30th. I did spend more of the month on my modeling hobby. I finished these all in June. Decaling is my favorite part so I was doing that and not finishing the builds, letting them get way too backlogged. There is literally months worth of work in this photo.

But I did scan cards, and of those 315, there were 82 people getting scanned for the first time.

You can see that quite a few of them were the ladies from the last post.13 of the 82. 

New additions of the month were very slim- 39 cards, 21 of which were Hero Cards I got at the Lime Rock race. I still need to write a post about it, but after 33 years as a NASCAR fan, I actually went and saw NASCAR on track in person for the first time! 

Every single of the people I added to my collection during June came from the track. Mabel Santley is included here too, but I actually added her to my collection in 2019....I just identified who she was this month. Close enough. 

Fun fact: Butterbean Queen is the first person in all of auto racing who has a last name starting with Q to get scanned. I have two cards of Dale Quarterley but they have not been scanned yet. He was in the race but did not attend the autograph session where I got all the cards. More on the racing stuff when I get a post written. Sorry I have not been writing much. Depressed and it's keeping me from doing much.
