Amazing Stuff!!! The MJ UD Black Auto is AMAZING as is your #1. I really really love that Jambalaya XL of Kobe though. Sheesh that card is insaneDepitydog wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2024 8:34 pm so i plan on doing an insta top 100 countdown soon... so hopefully this doesnt ruin my momentum there
Abra has already seen it anyway as he's one of like 2 followers i have on Flickr
(10.) Pete Maravich signed Business Card. This was the final auto i needed to complete my NBA@50 auto chase.
Something i started with my father in 96-97 and i promised i'd finish when he passed away. Getting this one was
tragically hilarious for the seller because he kept ending the auction early and re-listing with just a bit more added to
pad his numbers... it backfired as it pushed a lot of the interest away but i kept on it and the 3rd or 4th time listed
i finally won out for much less than he initially wanted. According to the back of the card, this was signed for a
lawyer from Colorado on an airplane prior to 1982.
(9.) I know this year of Exquisite Rookies is looked down upon but the rainbows are actually rather beautiful. I have
7 of the 9 Brewer's Including this Jersey Numbered and it's likely as far as I'll get. with all the Exquisite collectors out
there, i'm honestly shocked i got 7.
(8.) This is the most terrifying card in my collection as i cant help but feel the acetate lends itself to fading on the autos...
no matter i dont keep my cards out in the open, dont have it displayed on a shelf somewhere... i'm still sure in like
10 years, the autos will simply be gone... paranoia is real folks! I get it... Howard drops the card... but all three High school
kids draft who all 3 won a ring with the Lakers. this card to me is historic and i'll fight anybody who feels Dwight didnt at
least deserve to be in the conversation for top (76) that came out recently... he was straight up elite during his time with
the Magic... and that was with all 3 of his post moves... On card bold blue autos make it oh so much better.
(7.) Quite likely the rarest card i own... the Jambalaya XL's are often mislabled and unknown. Card odds... not player odds
for this set are 1:2160 packs and the difference between the "normal" Jambalaya and the XL is that Holofoil That pops. This has
been a dream card for the longest time since i was lucky enough to pull an Amare when the set was released. This honestly
should be ranked higher...
(6.) Another i didnt have faith i'd ever get to obtain... theres a lot of issues with this card as theres a ton of uncertainty, there
were the originals sold by UDA, aftermarket because oddly enough at some point in time Wilts fist certified auto wasnt something
people wanted and then a flood of forgeries because unsigned versions were produced. what youre always wanting to see is the
diamond hologram on the back... if it's a circle, sorry, you been duped. This one in particular was one of the hand numbered copies
sold directly by UDA and confirmed by UDA to be signed on August 9th, 1993. almost 31 years old. with the added 13 even more special!
(5.) a bit of a cheat as this spot is taken by the full 48 card Veteran/Rookie Cubic Auto set from 2017-18 Panini Revolution. All cards
numbered to 50, All on card with a killer checklist. One Vet from original checklist was never produced (Alonzo) and one rookie (Josh Jackson)
was added via Panini Points. I originally pulled the Aaron Gordon and fell in love.
(4.) This aint a booklet... this is the first complete print run i ever completed. I heard soooooo many people when this product was released
that i was wrong and 5 copies of each letter were made but they are wrong... 5 total produced. as UD Black was 100% redemption, it's likely
that several players from this set were destroyed as non-redeemed. obtained the first 3 copies on my own and a Chris Paul Collector named
Dylan attended National and just so happened to come across the 4th and 5th copies... whatta ya know they are the exact numbers i need to
complete the 5 and he practically gifted them to me. will always be thankful for that and this is the highlight of my BWERE collection!
(3.) Another cheat as this too is a full set. 2008-09 UD Black 50 Greatest Silver Autos including the Oscar Robertson that was never signed
or inserted into packs. 24 cards that make up half(ish) of my NBA@50 chase. By this time UD Black was no longer redemption only like the
Brewer Run listed above but if memory serves correct, their were 2 packs, 4 cards in each box... so still tough to pull from. The only world
this set wouldn't be my number one is where two cards exist that i instantly fell in love with the second they became public... those two are
next.
(2.) nobody knows these cards exist other than me and the people i've annoyed the hell out of by talking about it... (slight hyperbole) but
this is a 10 card set (i'm still in search of the Albert Belle) but the Griffey is far and away the demon of the set... Limited to 62. The only
insert in the entire 1998 SPx Finite Baseball set which was only inserted into series 2 packs. The Marble front with the superfocused player
photo and that giant Holofoil Medallion are incredible touches to a set that doesnt need anything other than the rarity that comes with the
set. I feel highly confident in saying this is one of the hardest 10 card sets to complete ever made.
(1.) there will simply never be a card made that could knock this off my number 1 spot. in 2000, as i chugged away at the Finals Jersey set
(plus 2 autos) from Topps Gold Label... Gorgeous set. it bothered me to no end that due to Kobe being a UD exclusive at this time, didnt
get a card commemorating his first NBA Title.... enter Upper Deck and their Employee Christmas present... jaw Dropped... everything about
this design is perfect. that trophy cutout... the colors... the framing... that photo... EVERY aspect of this card is perfect and it upon first sight
became my ultimate grail...yes, its numbered to 300 which is on the high side... but as it wasnt inserted into packs, it all depended on how
many of those employees was willing to part with their copy to know what was truly available. you tell me to narrow my collection down to
1 card... this is by multitudes the card.
