25 Most Valuable 1990 NBA Hoops Basketball Cards
Looking back on the 1990 NBA Hoops cards set, I’d have to say it was easily one of my favorite basketball card sets of the era and maybe even all-time.
I thoroughly enjoyed the 1989 Hoops set that preceded it and those that came after.
But, I simply couldn’t get enough of these cards…
I even received several of the 1990 Hoops “Collect-A-Books” for Christmas one year, and I vividly remember reading through those miniature biographies of many of my favorite players over and over.
There were so many great stars of the day in this set, multiple cards with Michael Jordan on them, and even some fun subsets like the NBA Inside Stuff, Stay In School, and Just Say “No” To Drugs cards.
A kid had so much to love within this 440-card checkliSt. And in this guide, we look at the 25 most valuable.
Let’s jump right in!

Ross’s Take
As you can see, some of the cards in this set can be worth quite a bit in top condition while some of them are barely worth enough to cover the cost of grading.
Like many sports cards of this era, they were heavily produced in such large quantities that the market is still flooded with them.
But, monetary value doesn’t have to be the main driver int his hobby and nostalgic factor can still be a huge draw with this set.
Overall, the checklist contained 440 cards in total that highlighted some of the best players of the era and of all-time.
In summary, if you’re looking for a basketball card set with a lot of star power that you can acquire cheaply then this is one for you.
