Re: When We Were Kids

Love the stuff they put out - the pricing is very reasonable too. The shoe sets that have been popping up are fire. I wonder what Fanatics pays card designers - officially licensed and SSPs and those cards would be the most desired inserts to drop in a long time.

Re: A Rolling Mailday Thread (Basketball)

Finished my Gold Label run. Felt like I had to catch some set collectors sleeping for the last 2 (Class 3 red and New Standard Red). Or the No #’d backdoor copies placated some itches.

Re: Goldin Buying Experience

The buyer pays the premium model is definitely something special! With Goldin and similar houses, the fact that the premium doesn't include most of the other fees is crazy. I've bought once from Goldin and once from PWCC, but really try to avoid the houses.

That is awesome! Did you find them from the same seller? I always wonder where Odom 1/1s are sitting. Curious how the pricing/negotiations went for something like this as well?

The bgs 10 rainbow is the highest graded given the green is a pop 1 (don't have the base so not sure it counts yet)

This is also my 3rd 2012 gold and 3rd logoman.

Thanks
Sheeesh what a mail haul! Congrats on it all.

Re: Do you watch modern basketball and do you collect modern players?

My modern fandom is following through IG, reddit, etc mostly. Being a Lakers fan on the east coast is tough, especially if I don't have a Max subscription that month.

Great Odom additions! Really like that UD Gold Reserve. I know a print run of 100 isn't the rarest, but from 00-01, that's still really tough to find and not likely to show up a ton. I really like pre-2003 numbered cards. Thank you! Thats the type of card that led me to Odom over some more heavily ...
