Re: National Convention /5 "Parallels"

I haven't seen a resource that lists all National VIP promos. Also I think the promo issues may vary by player, but for my PC player I have the following: 2011-12 Gold Standard 2011-12 Limited 2012-13 Gold Standard 2012-13 Gold Standard Gold Standard 2015-16 Court Kings 2015-16 Revolution 2016-17 S...

National Convention /5 "Parallels"

Does anyone know if there is a list of all National Convention /5 cards released over the years? Beckett doesn't seem to have all releases in their database? The reason I am asking this is I currently have a Gasol binder set out with spaces for all cards I am missing and every now and then I will se...

Re: A Rolling Mailday Thread (Basketball)

I'm jealous of those McFarlane's! I actually still need both PGs. Buying them online is always a killer due to the shipping. I had a feeling you'd like those and that mindcycle would like the Carmelos. If I'd known you need them I'd have picked one up for you. Dealer had multiple of the Series 25 (...

Re: Anyone Collect Team Sets?

I started a refractors set for my Lakers but realised how expensive Kobe was going to be and being the completionist that I am, I have kinda taken the foot off that side of my PC. I have been able to sell the Kobe's I did have and put that money towards many Pau cards that I needed. I have thought o...

Cracking Encased Cards

Has anyone cracked out encased cards (ie. Flawless) from their original sealed cases? I find often these cards are scratched up real bad, especially those that are 10+ years old. I know breaking them out of their original seal probably decreases its value, but sometimes it's damn-near impossible to ...

Card Storage/Organising?

One of my weird hobby interests is how people organise their collection. I'm a big binder guy and have chopped and changed my storage methods a tonne of times. Would love to see/hear about how everyone keeps their collection organised. Bonus points for pictures included.

Cheers!

Re: Player Collector Updates

I have a spreadsheet that lists every Lakers Pau Gasol card (that I know of) in order of year barring patches and autos. I tick them off as I acquire them. I then have another tab on said spreadsheet outlining any patch/auto that I own. I know I’ll never own every patch/auto so I don’t bother listin...

Re: A Rolling Mailday Thread

As an Australian collector of a retired player who nobody in my country really collects, my mail days are very few and very far between. Yesterday this one arrived after about 9 months abroad. It’s like 5 Christmases in one. I’ve separated my bigger purchases from my lower level cards, although all ...

Re: Let’s See Those Jersey #’d Cards

#INVEST https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51230989552_9c8aba8f37.jpg A lot of these were plain hat swatches. I appreciate the fact that the jersey numbered was also a full tag. Miles was recently playing for the pro team in my home town (Perth, Australia) a few years ago. Apparently he is still l...
