Inserted at a rate of 1:288 packs in 1997-98 Metal Universe, the 15-card Platinum Portraits insert set utilizes an etched halftone dot-matrix pattern across a reflective silver foil card stock. The condition-sensitive foil surface makes higher-grade examples notably difficult to preserve. Shaquille O'Neal enters the set as a centerpiece subject, boasting a career that includes four NBA championships, the 2000 NBA Most Valuable Player award, 15 All-Star selections, and induction into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 2016.Show more
