[Insert Set of the Day] 1995-96 Flair Hot Numbers
Originally a set that many did not care for, but has become one of the more popular insert set's of the 90's just within the last few years. The 15 card set features a 3D design on a lenticular printing and features a slew of NBA Hall of Famers. The odds of pulling one of these were 1 in every 36 packs. The full color player photos are placed against a swirling background of numbers. The backs continue with the numbers motif that serve as a background for the full-color player cutout. Player's name and short biography are printed in white. The set is sequenced in alphabetical order.

The total PSA population on the entire set is currently 1380 cards graded. 488 of them being Michael Jordan, and 210 of them with a PSA 10 grade. The second most graded card from the Hot Numbers set is Shaquille O'Neal with a total population of 171, with 81 of them scoring the Gem Mint label. and 79 of them snatching up the Mint 9 PSA label. These cards are a fairly easy grade as they are thick and plasticy, with the ribbed lenticular.
