Re: Basketball TTM Thread

wow that seems like a pretty good return rate Deadshot! curious to know how you all send the cards. i could see it being a little cumbersome to make signers deal with penny sleeves and top loaders — is there a more user-friendly way to send things that still does a reasonable job of keeping the car...

Re: What are your ranking of the Topps Chrome releases?

surprised to see love for the non-silver years of 00–02. as a Kings collector i don’t mind the purple year, but otherwise I don’t think I’d be a fan, and i don’t love the blue years either (big fan of the black parallels for those years though).

Re: A Rolling Mailday Thread

that is awesome, what a cool gesture. something a little different for me. Kyle from Wax Museum podcast posted a link to this on twitter and for $30 I had to scoop it up.

Re: A Rolling Mailday Thread

Another one for the set! That brings me to 53/110. I got this through Kareem's website. https://flic.kr/p/2oXnLGc that’s a cool card, and a cool set to collect autos from. checked out the album on your flickr, impressive! i need to take advantage of his website offering and get a kareem auto at som...

Re: A Rolling Mailday Thread

a couple of recent returns from autograph signings. lately i’ll take a common base card that has an awesome photo but otherwise isn’t notable and get it signed to make it a little more special. neither of these is a rookie card or rare in any way, but both have cool pics of PC players that exemplify...

Re: A Rolling Mailday Thread

as a fellow kemp collector, loving the kemp cards! i’ve been wanting an on card randle auto for my knicks PC and this one was too good to pass up. AD1661E7-D6DB-49CE-9329-E75F937C5ED0.jpeg I usually prefer patch cards sans autos — idk why, i just like to keep my mem cards and auto cards separate. so...

Re: Active Set Building Projects

love hearing about collectors’ projects. this is cheating a bit since it’s parts of multiple sets, but i’m working on all Sacramento Kings Topps Chrome gold refractors from 2001-2005 (or black in the case of 2001 and 2002). mostly finished with 2002-05 except for a few Bibbys and a 2004 Doug Christi...

Re: How do you feel about long detailed Instagram posts?

if someone has a cool story about the card, or just wants to explain why they love it, i’m all for it. makes it more enjoyable to me.

if it’s just a shameless sales pitch then no thanks — but i simply avoid following accounts that do that.

i’m not really a mem card guy but recently started a mini project to collect one patch card for each current Knicks player — starting with Randle.

Re: Cards that Got You into Collecting

for me it was 1990 skybox. the cards looked so different. the pics on the back were a nice touch. Loved the MJ playing golf and Karl Malone on a horse.

it didn’t hurt that I lived near Seattle and it was Shawn Kemp’s rookie year — and i got him to sign my Skybox rookie at a public appearance.

Re: I can't bring myself to buy this card because _____________.

^ i’m with you on the white sparkles. for me the super glittery cards always feel a bit corny, though i know some people love em. speaking of corny, I don’t own either of these RJ Barrett rookies despite being a Knicks collector because the photos strike me as cheesy and awkward. RJ is a bit of a co...

Jalen Brunson’s first Optic gold in a Knicks uniform



I like the photo and how he’s blowing right by Donovan Mitchell, who some people thought the Knicks should have signed instead
