Who'd You Get?!: Alonzo Mourning, Fleer Ultra (1992)

We at No Regard used to collect basketball cards. Convincing a parent to shuttle us and our friends to the local collector's shop was a consistently important victory. When we found out KMart was selling entire boxes for $20, we almost wore out our bike tires pedaling back and forth.

Now we've unearthed the cache, and the results are stunning. We've been reminded that players named Dino Radja and Wesley Person briefly and forcefully carved out steady roles for themselves in the league. We've been straight tickled by the goofy casual pics. And we've been touched and inspired by the relentless optimism of the copywriters. We hope you enjoy this odd time capsule, a Utopian angle from which to view the league, where everyone is the next somebody and context is pointless.

This is a Special Edition of Who'd You Get?! I found this card tonight on the sidewalk in Manhattan on 7th Ave. between 50th and 49th Streets. Does it belong to you? If so, please contact No Regard. We will return it and then try to hang out with you because you're walking around New York with an Alonzo Fleer Ultra rookie card in your pocket. (Do you have holes in your pockets?)

Back of the card after the jump.
