In this week’s Timeless Moments episode, Russell and Adam dive deep into the evolution of Mosaic basketball cards — from its humble beginnings as a Prism parallel to the fully-fledged product we know today.
We look at the original 2014–15 Mosaic parallels and how they morphed over the years, touching on sticker autos, rookie cards with missing logos, and the design consistency (or lack thereof) from 2016 through 2019.
Russell breaks down the rise and fall of value in certain Mosaic products, shares his personal collecting experiences (including a numbered Luka rookie snag), and gives insight into inserts like Jam Masters and Bang! — some iconic, some hilarious, and some seriously underrated.
From comic book vibes to oversized heads and flaming basketballs, this episode covers it all with a mix of nostalgia, hobby perspective, and a touch of self-deprecating humour.
🎧 Listen now to hear:
- Why Mosaic holds a unique spot in the collecting timeline
- How WNBA Mosaic compares to NBA
- Inserts that hit (and some that miss)
- What Russell thought was the next Net Marvels…
