Just posted on BO and now on OZT:

Received the last white whale yesterday, the search is over (daily eBay and forums search)!

Inspired by WillC (OZT and BO) and THAT one card (obtained 5 years ago) that spark the revival of the chase (though I refuse to purchase cards that I sold… sadly a BGS 9.5 of Kobe Dunk competition, the other two Kobes and Kevin Durant cards)

I decided to collect just the cards that I like in this set as it was too much to collect it all and partly I did not know some of the players. Some cards I have overpaid but worth it as it is very difficult to find singles, let alone boxes and lastly auto have to be on-card. Sold a lot of my other cards to get to this chase. To me, one of the most underrated sets and my favourites.

A big shout out especially to BO members AlabamaSlamma, bdrr and Craig for helping me completing the last 3 card chase and also to other members whom I have dealt with!

1. Detroit Bad boy / NBA champion – Bill Laimbeer


2. Ex-Atlanta Hawks Coach - Lenny Wilkens


3. Walt Frazier



4. An assists leader - John Stockton (Started lowball and then offered what I thought was fair, used up all 3 offers, tried to deal out of ebay after expiry but seller extended his listing. This one come via auction and got it cheaper than my highest best offer, the other copy I believe is still available on ebay!)


5. Coach of the Year 2015-2016 Steve Kerr


6. Magic Johnson


7. The Big Ticket - KG


8. The Dream


9. The Admiral


10. The Glide (legends x 2, timeless memories)



11. Kareem Abdul Jabbar with the hook shot (just got it yesterday - thrilled last card chase wan't expecting freebies from Craig, thanks for the kind gesture) and I should have taken a better pic!


12. SLAM DUNKING (SD)
o 1986 SD Champion – Spud Webb


o 1985 & 1990 SD Champion – The Human Highlight Film x 2 (inscription & BGS!)




o ABA 1976 SD Champion – Did anyone ring a Doctor? - Dr. J (Jsy#)


o 2000 SD Champion – Vince Carter x 2 because one just doesn’t look good enough!


13. 3 x NBA Champion – Lebron James with the dunk


14. Killing two birds with one stone – Larry Bird and Magic Johnson dual auto


15. The one card that I was glad I did not sell that sparked the revival – Michael Air Jordan.






16. Sadly I won’t be chasing the MJ Dunking version so this will have to do - a BGS 9.5 version

Damn, Chronology is like Court King son steriods! Some real nice high quality additions! Silver sharpie is obviously the best effect though. Lov the inscriptions and Bird / Magic dual auto - winning!
 
Just picked up my MMB package - Update as of 12 Dec and shift to Flickr.

Decided to send some of the cards for grading, results from two separate submissions.

A Worthy addition and upgrades:

Not pictured -
Darryl Dawkins 8.5
Another George Gervin 9.0 (in addition to the BGS 9.5 one I purchased off ebay)




























Oh yes forgot about this guy...

Thanks skip, nah way too difficult for the whole set.

I want to get the Magic Johnson / Larry Bird and Dr J graded but too scare to post it to the US.
 
SWEET!!!!

Looking at what you've got, makes me want to go for that set!!!!

...and anything less than 9.5 would look out of place! Good luck landing the elusive Big 3!

Update:
A few months ago, I almost got my hands on a BGS 9.5 version however the deal fell apart which was very frustrating.

Rather than buy a graded version, I recall reading in one of the threads comparing BGS / PSA, I looked at the PSA population and decided to give them a shot.

Excluding AUD$40+ postage to get to PSA, US$100 cost (well US$55 to get posted back to Oz + $45 grading fee). This is the end result - call it Pop 1!



@skip20 - Dr J could be next!
