I was really into basketball for a few years when I was a kid, during a stint where you could actually watch NBA games on free-to-air Australian TV, and for most of that time I collected basketball, soccer, and AFL cards.
I found them all during an office move recently. Flicking through the folders, I spotted two copies of this Michael Jordan NBA card that shows him...not playing basketball.

@MossRC oh man, i love that. i had a similar short-lived love affair with those Upper Deck NBA cards too. i believe i started with the 91-92 edition, but sadly didn't last long enough to get the MJ baseball cards.
in canada, for a short time, bags of Frito-Lay chips came with Skybox "minis" NBA cards. these became an elementary school obsession. for a year, kids traded these postage-stamp sized cards on the playground like prison cigarettes
@MossRC I gotta say I love that expression of him while golfing.
@KzintiCV Yeah, it's great. I think the two photos capture the feeling of playing each sport pretty well, too. He looks so hot and bothered standing in the sun at right field in the baseball photo.

@vga256 Oh, cool. I don't think I've ever seen those before. I like how the Karl Malone one shows him finishing a dunk while everyone else is seen in the middle of executing a move.
