Are Famous Fabrics/SportKings Your Cup of Tea?

[Chris P]

I've talked about Famous Fabrics in a couple of posts before and how controversial the set seems to be. Due to lack of any kind of licensing, the cards are produced with no pictures of any kind, and designs are admittedly rather bland looking. The memorabilia pieces though, are awesome, and like I said, I can actually live without the pictures, because I focus on the memorabilia that is put on the cards. To each their own however. Here's a look at not only all the Famous Fabrics card I own, but Sportkings which is a Dr. Brian Price product as well.

Sportkings is little more tolerable in collector's eyes than Famous Fabrics because even though they are unlicensed by all the major sports leagues, they still feature the athlete pictured just in airbrushed uniforms when needed. Here are the SportKings cards I have.

Here is the Famous Fabrics portion of my collection

What do you think about Famous Fabrics and Sportkings products? Like it, hate it, indifferent??

I realize this is an old thread, but I just ran across it.

I love Sportkings.

Licensing isn't as important to me as authentic, game-used memorabilia is. I also prefer on-card autos over stickers, and I can't stand redemptions for cards that should have been packed out. Limited print runs are nice too.

I like Famous Fabrics as well, but I primarily focus on Sportkings. Some of my Famous Fabrics cards are pictured below:

Now those famosu fabrics I would like.. The others unless a filthy patch like yours are not to my liking.

However I like all sportkings

I personally dont really care to much for either of them. I dont like the card design on any of the famous fabric that was shown in this thread. Sport Kings have some decent looking cards but not really a fan.
