A trade in 2025? Are we speshull?

That Kemp patch is wild, now I’m curious to see other cards in the set.
Classic mj all star, looks like he’s popping right off the card. Are you going to do 1 quad label for each player?

lmao dude I feel like trades are so freaking rare these days, I did a deal with dengbang a few months back and felt more euphoric than a redditor who just met neil degrasse tyson.

They've got some SICK patches in these sets, but at least half of them are of guys I never heard of and have names that look like an alien's name in egyptian.

I'd love to do a quad for each player, but it's such a pain in the ass finding gems of any other player, it's basically ALL MJ or Shaq lol ...and when you find cards of another player, seller's want a bajillion dollars for them. I think this is the best way to collect amazing base cards though, going to stick to the low end stuff I remember as a kid with the best of the best when it comes to photography, it's the simple things that make the card.

Saw the rest of the cards on DC - actually ended up getting a McGrady Season Crowns after I saw your haul. Really cool stuff.

Tough card and one of only maybe 3 or 4 Michael Jordan cards I actually like! Very nice!

I got this a few months ago. First Basketball card that I have ever won from

I love the color match. I saw this card on Comc in 2020, by the time I went to purchase it was gone(Ja+Covid remember?) ...and have never seen another one surface! I won it this past April and had my fingers crossed it would cross the water safely! It did! Might have to get it graded someday!

Indeed, I like the old school stuff more and more these days. Simple designs go a long way, and cool photography that doesn't rely on psychedelic patterns for appeal is always a good thing!

That's a perfect color match and (speaking of cool photography) a great photo.

Here are some of the extras Abra threw in with our trade. I was only supposed to receive the Pippen Ultrabilities Superstar (lol)

This is a reoccurring theme of sorts too. As I’ve mentioned before, years back he also tipped me off to the Penny 250/250 Row 0 on eBay. If it wasn’t for the crazy prices of some of the other Row 0 cards /250 (mainly mj/kobe/duncan) I’d be going for the whole set after essentially being gifted half of all 80 cards.

Big mailday today, 1st up, one of my favorite players and my favorite Optic parallel

Attended a card show today and found quite the deal where I live at shows, which is in the bargain bins.

Now, I don't buy Panini very often, but when I do it's a future HoFer auto priced at $5. The seller only charged me $4 too lol.
I didn't even notice it was a rookie card. I had a friend look thru my bargain bin stack before I left and he pointed it out.



There's a BIN for $90 on the bay now followed by a $94, and a $117 and goes up from there.
Last 2.5 months of sales have seen them go $105, $55, $66, $70, and $42.

Not bad....

Today's Mailday

Man y’all don’t know how to pick up a card without it being incredible. Great pickups of all kinds all around.

Recent Whatnot find. Unlike most of the board, I know jack shit about most 00's / memorabilia cards.
First time I've ever seen or heard about this set. Figured a few of you would appreciate it.

Love game dated memorabilia cards and love that this is from a game in Wemby's rookie season

I remember being critical of this set on Blowout when I first joined over a decade ago. I don’t know what I was thinking. Very nice card in hand. I love how his blue away jersey pairs with the foil too.

Excited for today's mailday. This has a giant patch from when the Pacers wore the special Hickory Jerseys. Panini being Panini of course they inserted it upside down but I love unique jerseys like this
