Wild how the bar is color matched/blends with the patch. Congrats on the first Crowder Flawless!

Thanks man. I'm stoked he's finally in Flawless. I'm also shocked they decided to grab some Phoenix memorabilia and include him in the set.

Still a great card, but yeah I agree. The dual aspect of it just seems out of place. They should have used that whole space for a single patch. Would have looked much better.

I was eyeing a Gallinari but passed due to the weird look lol.

Yeah, I love Jaylen Brown jersey numbered cards. The gold dual 07/10 popped up on eBay and I didn't even put in a bid after seeing this one in-person. It's just odd.

My favorite thread on here so far, awesomeness everyone.

I didn't notice that it was a dual patch window at first for that reason. Yeah, not sure why they didn't just go jumbo, but I definitely do like that there's foil throughout the card and not just around the patch window. That seems pretty new for flawless. Great additions @SHowley, I love both the 2012 Flawless patch set and the recon base, which I think looks a lot better and more unique (esp. relative to typical Panini stuff) than it's given credit for. I'm of course partial to the IT. I have a base /25 and used to have a ruby /15, which I of course regret moving.

I got these two in this week.

14-15 Spectra Orange Gary Harris RC jersey # 14/25





83 Star Kiki Vandeweghe RC BGS 9

It’s pretty hard to find these with good centering so I was pretty excited to land this one.

Love that Harris. From the color, to the patch quality and how it gels with the color of the card, and his photo. Just a beautiful card

My two "bigger" additions from the last two days:

The first was this Holmes Mosaic Fast Break Purple. Holmes' first two seasons with the Kings were the best of his career, yet 19-20 Mosaic contained his only cards from his Sacramento rookie year (I kid, I kid). So I'm trying to pick up the rainbow. Of course, by the time that was official (end of 19-20 release year) I'm sure I missed out on lots of the lower numbered parallels.



The other is Haliburton Elite Purple RC /49. Trying to get one card from every one of his rookie year releases.

Finally, The Timelord is in Flawless. Pretty excited to land my first Rob patch-auto.

I know a couple Celtics guys that are happy to finally have game-worn Timelord stuff. That looks great!

Awesome! I decided to go with an Immaculate over Flawless, but this is making me re-think that decision. I honestly wish he was in the Flawless patches set. I would prefer a jumbo game used patch over a patch/auto.

Thanks Kyle! C's fans are happy Rob is recently being included in more sets with game-worn stuff.

Can't go wrong with Immac patch-autos. Those are beautiful cards. A Rob Jumbo Flawless patch card would've been awesome for sure.

All 3 of these pickups were $10 each from 2 different local card shows.

Fleer of an underappreciated HoFer Sikma PSA 9


Booker 2nd Year base Optic PSA 9


Kuminga Rookie Holo Optic PSA 9

Jalen Brunson’s first Optic gold in a Knicks uniform



I like the photo and how he’s blowing right by Donovan Mitchell, who some people thought the Knicks should have signed instead

Here is my addition to the thread.

2012-13 Flawless Gold patch /10 of Isaiah Thomas. You really can’t beat a jumbo game used nameplate patch paired up with that amazing gold holofoil. This card was lost in the mail for over 2 weeks. I’m so glad it finally arrived. There’s some damage to the foil around the patch window, but I won’t complain about it.

These 2012 flawless patches /10 are brilliant!
Need to get myself a Kemba one day

I thought I saw a Kemba recently, but it might not have been a gold. I probably would have tried to make a run at it if it were.

Yeah I think there was a /15 and /20 with black and blue patches from the bobcats uniforms. A gold is high on my list as a PC item.

Recent pickups from a local card show:

Picked up a 90-91 Fleer Magic in a PSA 9 for $10 so now the PSA 8 can go in the trade box.


Another $10 slab pickup. Got 3 graded Trey Young Optic cards now.

Nice stuff coming in lately. A lot of nice graded base and parallels, Frank. It's a cool dichotomy to see those 80s base side by side with those Optic cards.

That Brunson gold is beautiful, it really pops and complements the Knicks blue well.

My latest addition; I guess I've been on a purple kick lately

^ love a nice purple Kings parallel

i’m not really a mem card guy but recently started a mini project to collect one patch card for each current Knicks player — starting with Randle.

That’s a solid patch! I’ve oven thought about one patch a Laker, but started with autos and need to upgrade about 20 to on cards first.

2004 SP Game Used AK47 Patch /100 from his only All Star Game that year, managed to photomatch it to the "S" part of his WEST jersey

Nice AK patch!

Just got this one in. One of my favorite NBA players of all time.

Three awesome patches of three players i find extremely underrated. Barry is criminally undervalued for how good he was as a player.

Wow. Gorgeous patch auto of an all time great you don't see too often.

Here's my mail day. Ebay seller wanted a ridiculous price for it. I offered 1/5th of his price and he surprisingly accepted. Love when that happens...although I probably still overpaid for it No regrets though, as I've never seen this card available before.

Awesome card! Congrats on the deal and PC

^ dope ass Artest

Seriously, that Artest is beautiful. A parallel /25 that old is special, is it a RC?

Love the Artest and AK! Also I do believe I owned that Gary Harris Spectra 14/25 at one point haha

Few cards trickled in the last couple days

Got this in today, Celtics #23 has more rings than the Bulls #23.
