1994-95 Flair Jason Kidd RC #202
1994-95 Flair is class personified. Gold foil and a dual image alongside a nice gloss form a simple and striking rookie card. After all these years, it still maintains an elegant look.
1994-95 SP Jason Kidd RC #2
While the base set featured a completely different design, 1994-95 SP Basketball was all about the foil for the rookie cards. The use of gold is a little much and the combination with silver foil seems strange. It is important to point out that these are very condition sensitive. There is also a die-cut parallel that falls one per pack overall, and adds a chase element.
1994-95 Finest Jason Kidd RC #286
Easily Jason Kidd's most valuable rookie card, 1994-95 Finest Basketball brings a color scheme and design that was truly eye-opening. The big draw is the Refractor parallel. There is also the timeless debate of peel or don't peel with regards to the protective coating.

Jason Kidd Cut Signature Exemplar
Jason Kidd Key Signature Attributes: An authentic Jason Kidd signature autograph will exhibit several distinguishing characteristics, regardless of the item signed or when it was signed. Look for the following signature features:
- Signed on a relatively even horizontal plane, the signature may exhibit a slight upward angle, with a slight lean to the right.
- The letter "J" is larger than the other letters, very legible and written in cursive with closed loops, top and bottom, with the bottom loop being the larger of the two and a long horizontal line extending to the right, even with the plane of the signature.
- The letter "K" is easily discernible and is printed.
- The letters "d-d" are discernible, while the letter "i" is implied. The "d" letters themselves resemble fish hooks, with neither containing a closed loop. *Other times, Kidd has signed with loops coming off the tops of the "d" letters.
