Just got this in the mail today; 2017-2018 Willie Cauley Stein. Galactic. It has been a ton of fun grabbing cards of his lately!
Really like the 2017-18 design. Possibly my favourite.

I have just started collecting Revolution and I agree with you. I prefer that year over 2018-2019 (I have that one too).

Today’s mail day, courtesy of my - almost French - friend Dep’.

About a month and a half ago he posted on IG a video of his Top Bobby Portis cards. It inspired me to look for more Willie Cauley Stein cards.

I reached out about it; we shared stories about PCs, college ball and my latest purchases. He told me he had something that I’d like.

Boy was I speechless when I opened my mail! A 2015-2016 TC gold auto /10!

His friendship and thoughtfulness make the card even more special.

Looks great...looks Premium.


Got this Vince Carter in recently. Remarkable set design and incredible piece in hand, worthy of a photography session some day to draw out the beauty of this set. The portrait portion of the card's front goes from highly pixelated to high definition depending on the angle the card is viewed from and the light of course.

Unfortunately the checklist is not that great, but the notable players are worthy of a pickup if you like the photography they used. Also if you collect any of the players in the set, worth a pickup.

Oh man, I'm going to enjoy your maildays. Keep them coming! I don't really have a good WCS card. What draws you to collecting him?

@CardChannel on IG put the print run for the 98-99 at /417 and the 99-00 Warp Zones at /389. I trust their math more than my gut, but from pop counts and availability at auction even those numbers feel high. They're a great one to add to a PC!!

I never buy Leaf cards, not because I'm against unlicensed, they're just never really on radar, but I saw this and had to get it. Just a fun card to own of a Globetrotters legend

Love that Metal Universe Titanium Darz! I have the Walker from that set and it's awesome!




Been a while since i last picked up a Tatum auto so i'm pretty happy to get this one. This Crown Royale set highlights players career achievements. This one depicts Tatum's career high of 60 points against the Spurs back in 2021.

That’s a sweet one! Nice multipatch window. Best part about unlicensed cards are the relics and cheap auto entry depending on what you’re looking for

Interesting, that's pretty cool to know, thanks for sharing. I do agree, the numbers definitely feel high. I do find the 98 ones to be nicer, but man, the checklist is such a stinker lol.

Oh my, that is such a pretty card. The acetate, the color, the photo, the Stockton appearance. Great pickup!!

Super cool card, I agree about how cool Leaf memorabilia cards can be. I haven't convinced myself to pull the trigger yet, but I love the idea of them.

I'm a HUGE fan of this card. Honestly, this is a borderline perfect card for me. Beautiful holofoil, bold on card auto, diecut, commemorates a momentous occasion in a player's career, great photography. Oh man, this is so awesome.
