NBA Flagship Sets
 

I am primarily a vintage baseball set builder, but want to start a modern NBA collection. My wife and I are avid OKC Thunder fans. We attend 8-10 games a year, watch most of the rest on TV, and are on the wait list for season tickets.

I'd like to put together the team sets for each year of the teams existence, but need some guidance as to whether there is a resource describing the various sets available. I am not interested in high end sets, mainly just the equivalent to Topps flagship set for baseball.

Also, I see that Panini has had the license since 2009, the year after the Thunder debut in OKC. Who had the concession for the 2008-09 season?

Thank you for any direction.

There wasn't exclusively one NBA card manufacturer back then. Upper Deck, Toops, and Fleer all issued various set for the 2007-08 season and 2008-09. Just search ebay for "2008-09 Kevin Durant". The search results will give you an idea of what companies made what
