Donruss Lasers are some of my favorite parallels in basketball, this black one is amazing!

Happy to hear I'm not alone, I also didn't realize they were well liked. Pleasant surprise!

Yay, another PC thread, really enjoying it! I'm loving the themed posts. The Kemp autos are my fave, I feel like your passion for them oozes out of my screen. Cool that you got that IP one yourself and the other popped your auto cherry!

Got this one in recently for a decent price now that Panini 1'1/s are flooding the market, lol. For as many 1/1 parallels that Panini has put out, I feel like the black 1/1 will always be the go to for their "era" of bball cards. Love that card. The laser effect juxtaposed atop the game p...

My gosh, I'm a 90s idiot but holy die cuts!! I'm sorry I have nothing more intelligent to say haha

Thanks for the Odom kind words. I LOVE the 02-03 SPGU set, going for the whole thing. Odom was so much cheaper than it should've been because there was some peeling on the paper on the back, but meh it's fine haha I think I have 12/24. I thought it was so much more *cry*. One of those is Shareef, wh...

Lol, I just love that year of Pristine and Finest. Those are products I wish I didn't miss out on back then, maybe that's why I'm so drawn to his lot. Still dig the other stuff though. I don't think I've ever seen that Contenders cracked ice/atomic set either, dope ass Webber. Could easily pass as ...

I'm with you guys. Never understood the obsession with these guys who own 5 and 6 figure cards that talk about the card market ad nauseum. Funny how they rarely talk about, you know, the cards themselves. Still can't believe no one cares that this guy with a hugely valuable collection is the head of...

I love the Bobby Jackson spread, especially the Topps Pristine auto and Finest. You also mentioned the discoloring on the Reflections. There are a few late 90s/early 00s UD sets that fell victim to greening almost exactly like the Topps sets up until ~1998. Check out the '04 mj trilogy gold that I ...

^ Chris, you already know how I feel about that card (and set). Incredible grade on top of it. Congrats. and thanks Abra and Sac. I thought you guys would find this interesting too, because I had no idea they came in pouches. Even the seal on the certificate of authenticity envelope appears to have...

Couple more players to share and an addition to a previous pc! First is Hedo Turkoglu, another player who joined the team in 2000-01. A 16th overall pick who found a way to contribute to a playoff team and lift that team into a title contender. Great player whose skills would be very valuable today ...

Amazing card, and I can't imagine that is easy or cheap to find in a 9. Huge!

Beautiful card, not sure of the lore around the set or anything but I was surprised when I learned about the set because I knew about the Panini stained glass cards first. Very clean design and I love die cuts personally.

Thanks man, appreciate that! Another "rainbow" from that era represents my Clippers: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54368360574_fba7c193f0_c.jpg And @COMC ready to ship: https://img.comc.com/i/Basketball/2002-03/SP-Game-Used-Edition---Base---Autograph-Jersey/40/Lamar-Odom.jpg?id=1760f...

Okay I wasn't sure if it was just me, so Abra's response, especially to that auto confirms to me the insanity of your addition. Congrats on the Penny! Certainly an absolutely beautiful card, love the diecut and the auto is great. Were those buybacks inserted into a later product? Or were they simply...

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

Apologies for the incoherent rambling. Hope Kyle Singler is doing ok. *language warning* This is great stuff dude. The Revolutions and jumbo patches are insane. Thanks for sharing and cool to see ya posting on YouTube; I just started as well because I think building a basketball card community on Y...

Nice Grizz cards! Have a soft spot for those Sharifs given his later time on the Kings, and especially with such beautiful examples of cards that are so well photographed. I think those In the Name letters are so cool. 1/1 game used letters from 20 years ago? Yes please! Though I can't believe I've ...

What's weird to me is there are new game-worn relics that list specific player and date, and others that are very vague. I don't expect them to have a date for every relic, but why will some name the player and others won't? My guess is the manufacturers are afraid of being liable for any major mis...

You know what I'll double up, since I have another ready to go. Back on the train with Bobby Jax, the Kings 6th man who was signed as a free agent in 2000 and eventually won 6MOY in 2003. A fan favorite whose energy and effort off the bench was contagious. It was awesome that he came back to the Kin...

Been a couple weeks, oops! The last member of the 98-99 Kings team of whom I have cards in my collection is Chris Webber . The best player and MVP of the Kings of the glory years, who for some reason tends to be viewed by many negatively by my measure. He seems like a really great person, and I love...

Agree about the great thread idea (and the need to inject some life here! Just gotta recruit hobby friends to join!) That is definitely kind of both those collectors for helping you guys out. Dude, myusasets was awesome, what a freakin' collector. Thanks for reminding me about him. I just saw a BO b...

Wow what an addition, Congratulations! I’ve never heard of something like that with an exquisite rpa before. I wonder how many are out there

PS that patch is ridiculous

Nice little Antoine Walker collection there. Good timing for your Pierce patch to have come in. I just saw recently that there's an autographed version of those 02 authentic patches

I try really hard not to be bitter about that series

Hell yeah that's juicy. I miss pre-2016 patches. I still haven't been able to take the plunge into unlicensed. I got these in last week: https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54319483585_fe6d693fd6.jpg https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/54318174012_914f8f67f8.jpg Some notes: Working on the 88 Fleer 0...
