So I had this come in earlier in the week and I thought I’d share the pick of the bunch. I’ve been trying to focus on players I like and not just buy a bunch of low end stuff but just one maybe two cards of each of those players.

First one.. is probably my favourite pick up. Sometimes you have to spend a little bit more for something you really want and I really really wanted this haha.. Flawless is easily my fave product(as you’ll see) and dual patches are always a winner.. even better when it’s of Scottie Pippen❤🖤

Next up...Frank! So I’ve been pcing Frank on and off since his rookie year. I didn’t have anything of his, but now I have his rpa so it’s a keeper.

The Admiral... Probably one of my favourite players growing up. Another flawless😜 but would definitely love to upgrade this with something with a bigger patch.

The theme is truely noticeable now haha.. another flawless, another centre and another 90s legend. Beautiful card in hand and always love the hof inscription.

The glove 🧤... another beautiful card in hand. 4-colour patch, clean auto and love the design of this set aswell.

Jimmy Buckets... I have a massive man crush on Jimmy haha.. even more now that I have this 2nd year flawless patch❤

The worm.. a player you can’t help but love.. but him in spurs uni is hard to look at😂 lovely card from the same set as the Payton but idk man..
6B0344BD-B9F5-4F63-9874-87191047E443.jpeg

The human highlight reel.. again! Not sure how I feel about him clippers uni.. better then him in celtics but still.. Hawks or nothing😂

Patrick Ewing.. Hard to get an auto from the big man.. it’s even harder to grab a nice patch so I’ve had to settle for this. Not a bad fall back haha

The man crush is real. Jimmy has broken my one card per player rule and I ain’t complaining. Hope he can take the heat all the way coz he’s a straight up killer and deserves a chip. Bias much🤷‍♂️

The Big O.. I’m open to trading this if anyone is interested. I already have a nice auto of his and I may or may not have purchased this while intoxicated. Don’t drink and eBay guys.

Kyrie! I just picked up something in Cleveland unithe other day so I’m open to trading this aswell. It’s on eBay atm but if I can trade it even better. I really like Kyrie but not in Celts uni🤢

Mr Westbrook. I’ll be honest. I’m not his biggest fan and I only grabbed this because it was too cheap to pass on..crazy cool card and it’s a shame panini haven’t reintroduced a similar set because they are
awesome.

Penny! Ok I’ve saved the best till last.. everyone’s done this.. see a card with 10 minutes left.. research what they’ve sold for in the past.. win the auction below previous sold and quietly giving yourself a pat on the back.. said card show ups a month later.. has damage and other issues.. say wtf.. go back to description of card and lists all the flaws🤦‍♂️😂 Love it none the less and don’t regret buying it but if you haven’t done this before, well let this be a warning. And that’s it.. thanks for reading if you bothered haha but thought I’d have a bit of fun with it👍 Happy collecting guys❤

Quality! I've been doing similar, trying to pick up a great card as opposed to several good cards of players.

I grabbed a couple psa Ntilikina's too from COMC, I thought he'd be better and still think he can be very good, is it just the Knicks doing Knick stuff????

Love all the Flawless stuff, and it's a hard NO to Dominique in Clippers uni lol

4 different coaches since Frank arrived and the fact that no coach has really given him a chance make it pretty hard to develop lol.. I still have faith in him though.. and I 100% agree.. Nique doesn’t suit the clippers haha
 
Some very nice cards and mostly from a generation of players I really enjoy.

Genuine question, it seems you are conflicted about a few of them, especially the uniforms they are shown in. What moved you to buy them in that case? I imagine most of them were not "cheap"!

That’s a very good question. I’ve been upgrading regardless of uni. So I had a Rodman auto in pistons uni, which I sold in order to buy that Rodman patch auto. And then if a better Rodman comes along, I can buy and sell the one I have. I know it’s weird but it’s only way to keep my spending in check😂

Makes sense I guess.

Probably more logical than when I used to buy any random card I thought was a good price — now I have lots of cards I don't really want/like and I am sure they are all worth nothing!
 
Flawless victory with this one. I don't mind the Rodman stuff in spurs gear cause it's something a little different. It's a great assortment of legends here tho
 
Beauties mate! My faves would be The Glove and the Dikembe... The patch colours on the Payton are so sick though... Speaking of Ewing autos did you see that big thread of Ewings up for sale atm?? Plenty of autos in that thread (not mine).
