Seeing all the cool 90's cards you and Abra keep posting makes me wish the Celtics were better in the 90's so that more C's guys would be included in all the cool 90's cards like this set. I imagine this looks great in hand with different light angles.
That's a sad truth about the Celts in the 90s. I imagine 'Toine has to be your best bet for being in most of the nicer insert sets of the era?

Have to agree with Darz on his reply to this post, once 'Toine and Ron Mercer were playing for the Celts they had some pretty sick cards. Can't go wrong with the Row 0 Legacy Collection cards for each of those guys. The 96/97 Row 2 Legacy for 'Toine is also a standout card. Other than those two you're probably looking at Dominique Wilkins or The X Man. I think they were also making Larry Bird stuff until 93/94, I know he has a Finest Refractor from that year, but they're all discolored unfortunately.
Yeah 'Toine is the only one in the 90's who are in some nicer cards but since he was drafted in 98' he wasn't in any of those incredible early 90's sets. Dominique and X-Man had such brief stints with the C's that i don't feel much of a connection with them. Nique will always be a Hawk and Xavier a Sonic/Knick in my eyes. And a hard pass on Ron Mercer haha But yeah, Will try to dive into some 90's cards again for sure. I'm slowly being influenced again by the incredible cards you guys posts! :D

Excited to add this 12-13 Flawless patch. This is hands down the best Pierce patch in my collection.
Makes it even sweeter that it's from the first ever Flawless set!

Wasn’t he in the 96 class though? That’s why he’s prob your best option, being in insert sets from arguably the best 2 years ever for basketball products, 96-97 and 97-98. 98-99 is just the icing. Speaking of…

Oh yeah! He was in that iconic class of 96'. Was thinking Paul Pierce who was from the 98' class. And yeah 'Toine 's definitely my best option for 90's cards.
Oh man. How cool is that Linchpin card!

Couple of game used pickups came in today's mailday

I think it's cool getting a game used jersey card of one of the best executives/coaches in NBA history from his Lakers days

This is one of my favorite patch sets. It's the 4th card I have from this set. I have Tim Hardaway/Steve Nash, Ray Allen/Gary Payton, and Charles Barkley/Karl Malone

I feel a bit of an imposter posting in here considering all the quality on display! Anyway, got a COMC packaged delivered yesterday. Ignoring all the cards towards my various set chases, here's the ones that go towards my Pistons auto collection and Immaculate Game Worn collection:

Don't feel that way. Your personal satisfaction of your collection is all that matters.
Plus, if you're an imposter with what you posted, me with my PSA low grade Topps base cards would make me homeless lol.

I completed the 55 card 2013 Archives Football Fan Fave Autos set and want to go for this Basketball one next too.
darz90scards here on HB just posted a Muggsy Bogues one the other day on IG in the 1992 design. They're so nice.

That KCP Crown Royale auto is great! I love it when a player takes their time to sign, writes out their jersey # and everything. Just cool to see. I still need a nice rookie auto for KCP and something like that just might just be the ticket.
Always looking for high end Nuggets cards, current players and Rare 90's/00's!

I’m no expert but there doesn’t seem to be many long form on card autos of his, he seemed to revert to KCP very quickly!

Thanks, I’ll check out the Football ones :)

I’m not sure how many basketball ones there are. I have 2 out of 5-6 of the Pistons ones so it might be a big set.

I can very much sympathize with that feeling, but I agree with Frank. We all collect differently and have different preferences, collections, and cards we're after for various reasons. Those Crown autos are so sharp and even Smith's auto looks really nice (though it's illegible lol) not to mention KCPs. My favorite GU is the Immaculate triple. I'm actually after a Kings prime of that set myself, but can't find one. Those multi GU cards are perfect for team collections.

B-day gift from pops. I'm impressed he was able to identify a card I would even want and then successfully use ebay.
Thanks pops.

Thanks mate. Means a lot coming from a Revo appreciator like yourself. Do you collect all Celtic Revolution or Galactics and SSP?

I try to pick-up Galactics and SSP's but i have a bunch of player projects where i try to go for the full parallel rainbow. A lot of great looking parallels from Revo aside from Galactics. Cosmic, Sunburst, Cubic, Impact come to mind and even the newer ones like Future Frames look incredible. They are fun projects and look great all together in a binder. Love Revolution!
