Here is another PG13 from my pc. His 2019-20 Certified Black Mirror 1/1. This one gives off like a blue glow when the light hits it just right...

Excellent show.

Seriously though, didn't know those were considered mirrors. I love how Certified looks 2018 and beyond with the game photos. Seeing the blue in your photo, that's a very cool effect.

The 2014,15,16 are more closely related in terms of design than other years.

After seeing people on IG and now you guys drool over these things I was still skeptical but... I saw a low numbered one at a great price over the weekend at a card show and bit.

There's a lot of local guys around me who are big fans because he went to U of A. That paired with his absolutely amazing defensive job against LeBron/AD/KD/JimmyButler over the course of the NBA Playoffs, and the guy's legendary performance at the Slam Dunk Contest years back, I had to pick it up at the price as it was too good of a deal to pass up.

I'm probably not going to keep it, and it will probably just be flipped (which I don't do often), but it's giving me a chance to appreciate it for now.

I can see the appeal for sure between the rainbow foil and the texture, but perhaps the hype got my hopes up a bit high.
I like, but not as much as everyone else seems to like. I think the texture is probably my favorite part of it.

Worthy of the hype? Dunno. I'm not the best person to judge. Overall, I'm pretty neutral on it.

That's a big draw to me as so many cards nowadays just look too 'flat'. This is part of the reason why I think Flux is so cool, Panini really knocked it out of the park with the textures and color combos, as well as the overall theme being space-centric like much of the great 90s stuff but also feeling new at the same time.

Nice card! I am still looking to pick some of the inserts from these sets, I just haven't gotten around to it. What is that PG card numbered too?

Thanks, they're numbered to /25. It might be difficult to pick one up though, there's a set collector trying to pick up all of these. He has at least 4 PGs if I remember correctly.
