My Kings (+More) Collection

[SacKingsCards]

I love the Bobby Jackson spread, especially the Topps Pristine auto and Finest.

You also mentioned the discoloring on the Reflections. There are a few late 90s/early 00s UD sets that fell victim to greening almost exactly like the Topps sets up until ~1998. Check out the '04 mj trilogy gold that I posted recently in the rolling mailday thread, you can see that it's slightly greened. Your Peja looks like it still has perfect color though.

Thanks! I'm not quite sure why my Bobby Jackson array happens to be more...impressive than some others. I'm excited to share my Bibbys, I've got a decent chunk of those. I had no idea that there were some UD sets that suffered from the late 90s chromium greening. Kinda cool and makes me want to see how rare a well colored copy of the Bobby is. I didn't even know Trilogy experienced that. Your MJ looks great, I honestly can't even really tell it's greening in your photo.

Lol, I just love that year of Pristine and Finest. Those are products I wish I didn't miss out on back then, maybe that's why I'm so drawn to his lot. Still dig the other stuff though. I don't think I've ever seen that Contenders cracked ice/atomic set either, dope ass Webber. Could easily pass as some late 90s Bowman's atomic insert that never was.

But yea, the mj trilogy gold has a tinge of green, I was aware of it but it was still a bit of an impulse buy on FB. I rarely buy stuff without knowing at least some comps. I figured it was a good buy since it goes for about the same as his 1999 Ultimate Collection which is also /100, with the added benefit of not having 20 different friggin cards in the set. Have you ever seen the /10 versions in hand? Curious how those look.

Another one of my favorite UD sets - Hologrfx (Holofame in particular) - suffers from the same greening bs.

You know what I'll double up, since I have another ready to go.

Back on the train with Bobby Jax, the Kings 6th man who was signed as a free agent in 2000 and eventually won 6MOY in 2003. A fan favorite whose energy and effort off the bench was contagious. It was awesome that he came back to the Kings after several seasons to retire with the team after the 09-10 season. After being an assistant coach for many years and the head coach of the Stockton Kings for a season or two, he is now in Philly on Nick Nurse's coaching staff.

I have only a few cards of his, but I feel like they're some fan favorites, generally speaking.

Various golds (refractor) - anyone know what's up with the Reflections gold? It looks like there's some...greening? on it. I don't know if that's normal in general for the set? On the golds only? Do I just have a defective copy?


13-14 Totally Certified Patches Green /5


Cards I'm Looking For
1. 2002-03 Hoops Stars Base

I know, easily available and cheap, but I can't even get myself to shell out the $2.25 for this card that's available on COMC. Maybe the five star /299 is the way to go considering it's cheaper on ebay than the base.

OMG

That Chrome Gold is so A-E-S-T-H-E-T-I-C and that Patch is so JUICY. Pairs so well with the green foil.

I looked up the Holofame set, ...man...........I think I'm going to have to hunt down a AUsome KG and VC at some point. Still flirting with a 98 Kobe and MJ WarpZone...I want to add the MJ Skyonix too, but the prices are giga-retarded on the Skyonix.

Thanks all around. What stands out is the Webber comments just cuz it's Panini praise So the 99 ultimate has 20 MJs?? That's pretty wild, I feel like UD got way too crazy with the MJs in the late 90s and maybe even through the 2000s. So diluting of those cards. But MJ cards are a can of worms I've never opened because of its enormity. I've never seen the Trilogy /10s in hand. I feel like those early and mid 00s UD rainbow spectrums (?) /10 are impossible to find.

Didn't know the Holofames were prone to that too. I feel like my JWill does have a subtle hint of the greening.

Thank you Abra! I actually much prefer the Finest gold to the chrome. The Finest is just a lot more vibrant and bright. The Chrome feels a little dull. Regarding the patch, the purple Kings colors with green parallels are among my favorite color combos on a card! Chunky patches help of course

Honestly looking at them again, it does look a lot more shiny, but I am a sucker for aesthetics, it's such a clean design. Plus...purple and gold, sick combo...although as a Kings fan, I'm guessing purple AND gold are enemy colors lol.

I want to get a Chrome gold of VC, or KG at some point, since I've focused on the Reignman solely for the past however many years, I never really picked up much outside of stuff he was included in.

Looking forward to more stuff!
