Rest of my recent Marbury pickups, all from the censorship forum itself!

Got this in today, from the Upper Deck Lakers Master Collection set back in 2000. game used jersey card of The Logo Jerry West

Some of my recent pickups!

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

Allow me to make amends. Got a 10 card insert lot in from Facebook yest featuring ya boi. This set is dope, could pass as a 3rd version of Golden Touch.

[SacKingsCards]

Congrats on the pickups guys. Those Kemba additions are huge; three 2012 golds and three logomen? That's no joke!

[SacKingsCards]

Got an order in from DCSports, this was the basketball stuff. I'm a happy and willing victim of turning a $10 card into a couple hundred dollar (mostly baseball) order to "combine shipping"

Some notes: Hield encased is /5 and Mitchell is /8. I wonder how much that Bagley Cubic would've been worth in 2018. I think I'm down to three more Haliburtons needed for the rainbow

Sully! Adding another 12-13 Flawless patch to the PC. The emeralds look so nice for a Celtics card.

KG pickups. Will share a couple more KGs soon. He was my second favorite player growing up.

These are pretty nice in hand, they've got a stellar design matched with the most appropriate font. A subtle holofoil in the middle section of the card make it stand out. Of course, UD being UD, the layout of the card back is also top notch. They're not expensive either. The MJ is a couple hundred raw though, nothing reasonable currently listed on eBay.

I've been wanting one of these for many, many years. Finally got one in. Very happy with the patch. I love the design on these too, some of the nicest patch cards ever.

These are super fun cards, remind me of Collector's Choice. The bold letters, team colors, the wood cut, it's all spectacular. I had the Kobe acetate version and it was a substitute for the wooden version I really wanted, so I'm glad to have this one in. My first KG auto as well.

The Upper Deck Hardcourt set is a lot of fun all around - nice haul!

Thanks bro, much appreciated. Site was having issues for a day or two, so I'm a little late responding.

Nice one Abra!

Yeah the SSL cert expired and the hosting company took their sweet time renewing it for me lol.

I've been wanting a 52 Topps Style Blue Refractor for a long while, preferably a top tier player so when this came up for auction I had to have it. This card absolutely pops. I love it. The Golds are super pricey but I'd love to add one of those too one day

Used to have this whole set! Loved it… the Garnett is thought to be limited to 21… very tough to find

[darz90scardz]

Every one of those KGs are awesome. It’s definitely hard to know the Skyonix effect unless you have one in hand.

Another FB pickup. A not so subtle nod to 95-96 Skyview. I love nearly all the Skybox sets that use this style framing - Hoops Hill co-rookie tribute, e-xl NBT, ex2000, 97-98 Thrill Seekers…. I’d actually rank the original skyviews last out of all of them. The holofoil window on the Retrospection works a lot better with the solid color border than acetate. That’s why ex2000 worked so well with the holofoil border.

[green_stiller]

A few new ones came in (that I've photographed...)



2002-03 Topps Chrome features just the 2nd year of basketball black refractors. They introduced white this year as well (still a majorly underused refractor color).




Shout out to all the SSDs out there reducing the 2000-01 Fleer Tradition Autographics print run at expense of their Fleer Authority set.





Happy to have these Topps Big Game... the refractor/shine is up there with the late 90s press pass reflectors for the best I've seen on cards.

[Deadshot]

I finally got this Buddy Hield card in this week after the eBay Authenticity Center accidentally sent me the wrong 1/1. There's a long story to go with it...I'll attach a video with that if you want to know more

[AbraCalabro]

You guys are killing it.

BEASTLY Kemba pickups.

Some nice and also some rare Kings pickups.

Sweet KG blue refractor.

mindcycle, I figured that was the cause lol, happy to be back up and running full speed.

Dep, had no idea you had the whole set. Love this design and the KG being limited to 21 is very interesting to read about. Is it the same with all the cards from this set, or just the KG? Just curious if you have more history on these.

Sweet Kobe Skyview, surprised CSG didn't screw up the grading lol. Great photo and no alien head.

Nice Odoms, the Autographics is awesome.

...and finally, a card and video from Deadshot...cool it with the self-promotion, pal!

Checking out the video now.

[ChrisP57]

Got this in today, guess you can call it a "poor man's" Black Gold Prizm so to speak. I really love the look of it

[ChrisP57]

Another addition to the Luka PC!
