This has been a card I've wanted for a long time but was hoping to find one at a reasonable price and I did. On card full rookie signature of Giannis. I've been selling off my other Giannis rookies to fund this card.

I collect memorabilia along with cards, so I figured instead of spending 2 grand or so on a signed Wemby card, I'd spend a fraction of that and pick up this

Love the inscription on it as well!

Awesome signed Wemby ball Chris!

Love those Ultimate victory parallels dengbang! I grabbed an /25 gold to pair with my /100 McDyess last year. Took forever to track that one down.

Thanks mindcycle! Definitely tough to track down those golds but in hand they are worth the wait. With so many subsets, the base parallels are tough to track down as well.

I always thought this was a cool card to begin with, but sometimes I grant even more style points when it’s nestled all cozy in the junk wax era. I know they were redemptions but haven’t looked into odds yet, someone on the censorship forums was looking to move this to help fund another purchase and I thought it was a great looking copy.
Apparently the key thing to look for on these aside from the skybox stamp is that Magic’s auto should be lighter than Bird’s.

Thrilled to add this to my collection. I added a Cosmic Luka during the offseason, but have always wanted one of these as well. This is the Emerald Parallel from Chinese New Year numbered to 88.

^ great Dirk pickup. I want to say I pulled the Reef 1st day around 2015 or 2016, was able to get it to someone that pc’ed him. Was the only card damaged in the entire box :?

The seller I bought this from had it stored at pwcc, I can’t believe they put these hideous stickers on the back of slabs. I knew about it but this is the first time seeing the trash in hand. I prob need some goo be gone or whatever the f to remove it cleanly.

Awesome card darz! I’ve always had a soft spot for Thrill Seekers

Yeah I can’t believe they put a sticker directly on the slab. ugh.. How hard would it be to put it in a graded card sleeve and put the sticker on that?

To top it off, they didn’t even sleeve the slab in the first place.

Things that make you go hmm salt of the earth.
