โ๏ธ Card Technology
Die-Cut Technology: Manufacturers used custom stamping dies to cut intricate borders and patterns into the card stock. Because of the exposed, delicate extra corners, die-cut cards are notoriously condition-sensitive.
๐ Player Performance & Team
During this era, Juwan was the focal point of the Washington Wizards offense. He shared the court with prime Rod Strickland, who led the league in assists, and a young rookie named Richard Hamilton.
๐ NBA Era & Pop Culture
The 1996-97 season celebrated the NBA's 50th Anniversary (noted by gold NBA logos on many cards). It also marked the arrival of the legendary 1996 Draft Class (Kobe Bryant, Allen Iverson, Steve Nash), which drove the sports card hobby into a frenzy of innovation.
