I actually do have a pack's worth of those--I wasn't collecting at the time, but I was in a supermarket which had the packs at a ridiculously low price, maybe a dime, and couldn't resist. I didn't realize it was from the movie--I saw Shaq and thought it was just a basketball set. ("Blue Chips" would be a pretty good name for a prospect/rookie oriented set!) But at the price I can't complain.
