Some Wacky Last-Minute Memorabilia Gifts For Nets Fans
By Sandy Mui
Brooklyn Nets 2013 Collectible Team Card Set ($2.50)
More painful than wacky, but yes, I guess we need a reminder that the 2013 trade did happen (hey, that’s why this item is on sale, right?). Funny, it was $4.99 just a couple of days ago, and now it’s $2.50, though I’m not surprised — its value to Nets fans would probably be around $1. To convince Nets fans to buy this, there’d have to be some kind of extra incentive or reward.
Hey, at least the Nets made the playoffs that year, right? And judging from the display image of the product, you’re at least guaranteed to get a card of Paul Pierce, who in that lovely Brooklyn “super team,” stayed for the least amount of time.
Then there’s just seven more player cards to go in that deck… if you’re not a fan of the past (or just not three seasons ago), then Brook Lopez may be the only player you’re hoping to get. What a great gift to teach someone, “Good things don’t last forever.”
This would be the perfect gift for a bandwagon fan who rooted for the Nets in the 2013-14 season, then dropped the team in the following years. Don’t worry Nets Nation, those fans will be back once Brooklyn becomes slightly more respectable.
