Just read through this thread start to finish. It was a fun little recap of the playoffs.

Some recent pick-ups! https://flic.kr/p/2pXhQPK LOVE that photo of Pierce! https://flic.kr/p/2pXjYCk Adding to the Noir metal frame collection. https://flic.kr/p/2pXhQQX Some Toine' mixed in there. https://flic.kr/p/2pXjYBU Cornbread auto inscribed with "Finals MVP 81". But this card had ...

This is technically a mail day, but I thought I'd start a separate thread to see if anyone else has any cards they've grabbed to highlight significant moments in their personal life or as a sports fan. I'm a Celtics fan and, as you all likely know, they recently beat the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA ...

I love the SP Game Used JO. I still regret not grabbing a Pierce /50 when a had a chance a few years ago.

That Kemp is sexy Abra!!

Those Iso Joe’s are the best AS tags I’ve ever seen.

The AS weekend is kind of a joke, but I still live the cards. There are a sneaky number of great low to high end sets that are all-star themed though. So let’s see what’s out there. (Sidebar: I have a great idea to replace the Dunk Contest with a game of HORSE if anyone from the NBA is asking…) 8C39...

Why is it that I crap all over Spinotron in the collecting trends thread and no one responds but then we can all pile on him here? Is my vitriol towards him not respected in this space? In all seriousness, I respect the original 2013-14 Kabooms. They aren’t the best looking cards but they were uniqu...

I had a 29 card mail day from Card Hobby arrive yesterday. This is one of my favorites even if it’s one of the least valuable ones. 22-23 Elite Status jersey numbered 99/99! It was hidden in a 4 card lot that I won for under $4. 1AAA96DF-B5C5-42F5-893F-B54FC7A394E7.jpeg Nice pickup! So many auction...

Spinotron is the definition of a hype beast. He spends more time promoting himself and his collection than most of the remainder of the hobby combined. Everything he produces is about why his collection is “important”. Anyone that posts multiple floating head videos on social media should have their...

I had a 29 card mail day from Card Hobby arrive yesterday. This is one of my favorites even if it’s one of the least valuable ones. 22-23 Elite Status jersey numbered 99/99! It was hidden in a 4 card lot that I won for under $4.

A 1/1 mail day is always a good mail day.

The LeBron Optic Preview is super cool. Great grab! Nice to see a well centered card from that set as well. A lot of the cards are a mess in that regard.

Lever’s auto actually looks great on that patch!

IMG_1085.jpeg IMG_1086.jpeg Grabbed this 97-98 Stadium Club Co-signers from a hobby buddy of mine recently. It’s surprisingly my first Co-signers auto despite always liking these. I was really close to splurging for a Duncan/Kobe like 6-7 years ago which I’m still kicking myself for not grabbing at...

Today’s mail is a nice jersey number WNBA Prizm
Mojo.

[Here’s the another example. Just got the Bulls version in today. To be fair, players from Parish’s era were use to signing for UD where several of the cards were designed around autos on the patch and these vertical cards don’t have a natural spot on the card for an auto. 8CE17CFA-BC43-4BD3-96BD-10...

That’s interesting. I’ve got several cards in the 1st and 2nd gen 180pt sized mags w/ sleeves and they work perfectly. I’ve never tried any of the other sizes or any of the more recent versions.

I’ve had the gem for a while but I just recently got the base Battle Spectra to pair with it. I really want the Wolverine/Sabertooth base and gem parallel as well.

This thread reminds me of the collector who had the WTF IG handle during the height of the hobby boom. It faded away quickly, but it was hilarious.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Wishing you all good health and continued enjoyment of the hobby. :) https://flic.kr/p/2popPUc Just picked up the Tatum to pair with the JB that i've had in a while. https://flic.kr/p/2popPUx Adding another one to the galactic binder! Man, I really need to add a ...

I recently picked up a 2012-13 Flawless patch/auto specifically because the player signed it twice when it was only expected that they sign it once. It made me think that it would be interesting to see what’s out there. I’ve posted a Larry Bird card here that he signed the front and back for some re...

I’m very selective as to who I follow on IG, probably to selective at times. But those people I follow it’s because I appreciate their content. So if they are going to take the time to write a lengthy post or create a video I’m going to take the time to appreciate what they are sharing.

https://flic.kr/p/2oG5uTG Finally, The Timelord is in Flawless. Pretty excited to land my first Rob patch-auto. Awesome! I decided to go with an Immaculate over Flawless, but this is making me re-think that decision. I honestly wish he was in the Flawless patches set. I would prefer a jumbo game us...

Got my first ever Crowder Flawless patch in the other day. He's in both the jumbo patch, and the dual patch sets for 21-22 Flawless. I have a few of the jumbos waiting for me at Card Hobby. This is the first one I've been able to get in had from the product. I don't really like the dual design. It'...

I thought this thread would be a good home for player collectors to share their progress and/or key cards they are looking for. Or we can just complain about the unnecessarily large rainbows. I just spent about an hour organizing my checklist and binders to get my Jae Crowder PC up to date. I added ...
