What's in that repack?

I was on my way San Antonio for WWE Hell in a Cell stopping by at Buccees in New Braunfalls. Across the street was a shopping center with a Target I decide to venture there to check out card station. While going through I notice this on front of Fairfield basketball repack that I have to buy it.
Yep a 1981-82 Topps Julius Erving card. Having the card of top is worth $5 buy to me. As for remaining cards.
Hoops inagural set breaking in Fleer stranglehold. Follows up to......
 Hoops second year set.
Skybox inagural set. They were hottest cards and high end back then. They went different route with artsy background.
A very clean 90-91 Fleer cards
91-92 Hoops card
 Full of 91-92 Upper Deck which I got two Bo Kimble out of this. Also what was James Worthy doing in the photo? Saving a ball out of bounds or a leaping toss?
A very bland design from Fleer
92-93 Fleer of Mark West with cameo of Hakeem Olajuwon and Vernon Maxwell
The premium Fleer Ultra with a Charles Barkley slam dunk
92-93 Skybox stepped away from the graphics art to action shots with graphics whoosh on the ball. 
93-94 Hoops with two players made their return back to NBA. Both would team up as members of San Antonio Spurs
93-94 Hoops
After being bland for couple of years Fleer with simple slam dunk design. Hey look its The Glove

93-94 Skybox including a checklist.
93-94 Upper Deck with Don McLean who won 6th Man of the Year
95-96 Signature Rookies. Both would have journeyman career.
 Cards I never seen before. Score Board produced these cards.
A nice Dennis Rodman card
Upper Deck Collector Choice card featuring UCLA star Ed O'Bannon who sued NCAA. 95-96 UDCC set was start of rookie photo shoot.
Fleer Metal card with Steve Smith
 1996-97 Topps Finest of Michael Williams
Jermaine O'Neal rookie card who would break out after he traded from Trail Blazers
 Player I never heard of
Aussie Luc Longley who picked up rings with Bulls dynasty
Felipe Lopez card mentioning what team drafted him
Skybox/Hoops when different with team logo in the background of a player
Kareem from Topps NBA 50th Anniversary set
Second to last Topps set featuring Brandon Roy whose career cut short by injuries
Topps final set before Panini got NBA exclusive on trading cards
Jeremy Lamb from Upper Deck Authentic
Last card is Rajon Rondo from Panini Prestige

The pack from the pack is Panini Complete and these are the cards

That was kinda fun for me to open up
