The funny part is that once you meet gonblott in person, regardless of knowing his past or not, you quickly realize he's not someone from the hobby you want to hang around.

The pleasure was all mine, thank you for the easy deal! I created a thread in the B/S/T forum if you want to check that out. If you want to make one for yourself also I will post in there and leave feedback there as well. my feedback thread - https://thehobbyboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=2974 B/S/T fo...

Easy deal with one of the most seasoned collectors, AbraCalabro! Thank you!

SacKingsCards wrote: ↑Sat Mar 01, 2025 12:19 am That's great to hear! Hopefully the first of many. If I ever get a way of efficiently and coherently getting a list or photos of what I've got FS/FT I'll post it here if you're still looking

Sounds good SacKings!
Would love to see what you have.

Got my first hobbyboards deal done and it was with the great Abra!
Felt like old times where a deal was mote than just a transaction.

Took over a decade and still not complete with the Now Credentials being a sheet cut without serial number copy, but glad to finally add these to the collection.

dengbang, thanks so much for the link. sad to read he's gone. i remember a lot of those old school videos in 360 and 480 or even 720 video quality lol, unfortunately those videos are tougher to go back and find again because youtube is riddled with flashy influencer types, i.e. I JUST SPEND 100K AT...

Looking for anything that catches my eye.
Tired of trying to find cards on eBay and auction houses.

Ricky Russo! Brings back some memories but unfortunately he passed away. Reminded me of my local card shop owner that I used to go to every week back in the 90's. I enjoyed his videos and still have a couple of freebie cards that he sent to some of his subscribers. I remember watching him, cardsinfi...

Kids who grew up in the 90's are roughly in our 30's and 40's right now. Disposable income is there but the economy is completely different now so it is possible that we see some money being thrown at 90's cards again in 10 years. The fact that MJ was part of the 90's boom is enough to prop up that ...

Just an update on my second try at the 1994 Test Refractor Sets.
The bigger names are with player collectors but if anyone see's any for sale or has some and wants to help with the set, please reach out.

lol not surprised I got a lot of rare and wacky oddball stuff from him. One of them which was tough to find was the Kemp Skybox E-Motion Foil sheet cut, those are pretty neat in hand. It's now with another Kemp collector after downsizing my collection, but he had really cool stuff and was always ea...

It's a real tragedy, Dikembe did so much for others off the court. Rest easy Mount Mutombo.

How Leximo got his hands on all of those sheet cut cards is still a mystery to me but I believe he was transparent about it. He had thounds of them at any given time.

Very interesting... I wasn't aware of the bunch that sold recently, as there weren't any Admirals listed. Very cool getting to see pics of some of these, along with Ryan's crazy Rack Pack set! Here are mine (please forgive the poor scan on the Lottery Prize), and thankfully, without any peels 8-) ,...

dengbang, I remember paul having a ton of these and dumping them after posting them on the Censorship Forums lol. I'm actually glad he shared pics of them, I think I still have the pics somewhere on an old hard drive. I love these test refractors. Rack Pack was one of my 'impossible' sets as a chil...

A collector from Australia recently sold his 1994 Test Refractor collection on eBay. It's been a decade since I've seen this many up for sale at one time. Side note, who remembers paul06901 flipping a bunch of these 10 years ago? I thought it would go unnoticed since the end time was around 9-10 am...

So.. were the bathroom lines as bad a people said? :lol: I did see lines but the few times that I went, it wasn't so bad. The line getting into the parking lot was much worse imo...but again if you're the type to find a solution, it wasn't so bad. There was a bathroom that was somehwat hidden that ...

I will be there Thursday - Saturday looking for needles in a haystack as usual.

That's a big JJ pick up, Congrats!

A well rounded team, well deserved!

Photogenic is a good attempt though, some great action shots. I just wish some of the parallels werent so busy as it detracts from the photography

Letting a photo do all the talking is a lost art form. I absolutely love the 95 UD set. Both the front and the back. Simple logos, player profile, player stats, team logo, minimal description...one of the best base sets for me. Right up there with my favorite of all time 1995 SP. Also, who doesn't l...
