From 2005 Absolute, 13/20, I love Tools of the Trade, and I love Lance Berkman, one of the first Astros players I remember in my life along with Biggio, Bagwell, and Nolan Ryan. That dirty batting glove piece is something

Some awesome cards here, im very impressed I thought I would never see a card from this set like this again, but I found one and just got it in the mail. 2002 Fleer Press Clippings Steve Francis. It may not say patch but general consensus is that it is a patch due to it being a part of the logo. IMG...

I'll be honest, compared to other people on this forum, I am a fairly young collector. I wasn't born when Francis was cooking for the Rockets but I have always had a huge appreciation for the 2000's era of the NBA, its always had a certain charm to me that is a little hard to explain, probably becau...

That's an awesome Reggie Miler! Does it say what the patch is from on the back? I know President Choice specifies on that sometimes.

That's an awesome Dantley. Just got this 2005 Ultimate Premium Swatches /100 for Vince Carter. Swatch is from 2005 ASG where he had one of my favorite dunks of his career.

This is too much money in my opinion, I don't know why they decided to pay this much but I hope it all works out in the end.

2013 Panini Titanium Omer Asik Double-Double Patch /25. Picked it up on comc, not really a big Asik fan but for $4 it seemed great. Love the second patch although I have no idea what part its from.

Awesome 04 Finals patch! Makes me wonder how many Finals jerseys upper deck cut up for cards. Maybe one of my patch cards was from a Finals jersey and I never knew...

How's everyone feeling about the draft? I'm optimistic about what the Raptors did. Dick at #13 and Markquis Nowell 2way. I had Bilal and Bufkin as the choices at #13 and was surprised to see Gradey slide - that said hard being disappointed about a guy who shot 40% from three with heavy usage. Very ...

Honestly, I think the Suns are gonna start off good, maybe like 13-4, and then end up crumbling down and failing to meet expectations once again. Kind of reminds me of the Nuggets when they were scoring a ton in the 80s. Cannot wait for the incredible bench action though! https://library.sportingnew...

25 games for Ja. I thought he'd be out until the All-Star break. I wish Adam Silver was commissioner during the Brawl... Until All Star break would've worked. The way Adam Silver first said it, it was like he found some secret insider information that if he released immediately, then the Finals wou...

I love the coaching hire for Ime Udoka, I think it shows that we are now serious about playoff contention. I was very happy during that press conference where he adressed the issues from before (such as Şengün having barely any playing time in some cases and not being used efficiently) and talked ab...

2004 SP Game Used AK47 Patch /100 from his only All Star Game that year, managed to photomatch it to the "S" part of his WEST jersey

I'm pretty sure the AI is part of the in-game warm-ups they wore (as opposed to the standard team warm-ups they wore during introductions). https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/eastern-conference-all-stars-allen-iverson-lebron-james-news-photo/52272919 I think you're right! Thanks for noti...

BONUS: After posting this, I did some errands, including visiting my LCS where I got some cards including Six Star Swatches Gold /65 (#_NMDCBI) along with its certificate, which claims the Nash and Iverson swatch were from the 2005 All Star Game. The Nash looks like his jersey, but the Iverson does ...

This is an AMAZING resource. I saved it to my computer! One suggestion to consider...if you put the players one per line (under each year), it might be a lot easier to read/reference in the future. Thanks again! Thank you for your feedback! I can't lie, I was a little inspired by your analysis of s...

As you all are probably aware, in 2009, Upper Deck lost their license for basketball and dumped a large amount of memorabilia cards onto the market in that year's sets. This including a large amount of All Star Game worn memorabilia, which Upper Deck has always loved using. Since I have a humongous ...

Damn!!! Incredible research once again, I love it.

Just got these two in the mail today, Jae'sean Tate 14/15 and Keldon Johnson 23/25 https://www.flickr.com/photos/198422966@N06/52945182592/in/dateposted-public/ https://www.flickr.com/photos/198422966@N06/52945186947/in/dateposted-public/ The Keldon Johnson patch is from the Spurs 2021-22 City Editi...

Wow, this is a really great video! I love your analysis on when the warmup was starting to get used in cards and where the mesh holes aligned. I've seen these warmup pieces pop up online often but I never really thought twice about which patches were which. Cant wait for part 2!

What card(s) made you start/get back into collecting? Ill start. I collected basketball cards very often when I was a kid, but ended up losing interest. Then,during the pandemic, I got very bored and reignited the collection, starting with a 2008 Topps Signature Edition Dwight Howard /2499. I then ...
