Looks like I will have to update my HOF player folders — though I already have Billups and Carter in them, as I figured they would get in. I guess first thing to check is whether I even have any Cooper, Davis or Barnett cards!

This brought back memories for me. One of the first "longer" odd cards I pulled was a 95-96 Skybox Draft Exchange card. I was both excited because it was "rare" but confused because, well, it wasn't a real card of a player — plus you needed three of them to exchange. I never considered trying...

I'll kick this off with a fairly hazy memory from 15+ years ago when I pulled these two from the same pack. Kyrylo Fesenko Rookie Superfractor 1/1 and Durant Rookie Refractor. These were back to back in the same pack and I distinctly remember thinking "hmmm, pity the two players weren't...

I'm not sure why none of the members who operate in the graded card market have chimed in, but I will offer my very limited 0.02c just to give you a data point. I would not pay extra for a graded autograph on this card. I would not pay extra for a 7 or 8 grade and would not *think* an 8 would...

I bought an Olajuwon for $100 AUD, randomly a year ago to the day! That's probably a solid comparison though I don't think Rodman signs a lot so his may be a bit higher. I'm not sure about bothering grading as authentic. As far as I know no one is counterfeiting this set, so I'm not sure if an...

I will preface this by saying I know little about grading or how they assign grades. However, from looking at the pic aren't at least three of the corners dinged in some way as well as some flecking on the right side by the signature. Hence, it's not grading a 10, or a 9, or a 8, and I'm not...

And fair enough too. Now, instead of whining about GST, people should follow Packer's example and engage their brains and figure out one of the really simple ways of "minimising" it. (ie avoiding it, or at least claiming it back.)

And there's a tax on importing items over a certain value. It's to protect local businesses who employ, you know, Australians. I owned an import/wholesale business for years, so have paid my fair share of taxes, duties and tariffs, but also understand why they exist. I don't have a dog in...

I'm assuming that's a state sales tax? I'm pretty sure the Aussie government doesn't get a share of that.

So, I know this is an unpopular view, but... Just to confirm, the complaint here is people are being asked to pay tax on items they are legally required to pay tax on?

And there it is... This plus/minus table is pretty brutal reading if you are one of the Warriors traditional starting five.

Mainly just surprised this isn't Moses Moody. Golden States "two timelines" strategy might be the most brutal destruction of asset value in the history of the NBA. They had a 2, 7 and 14 picks to use to add to one of the most successful teams of recent times. Not only did they not trade the...

That Havlicek is great. They don't make 'em like they used to!

I must admit if I was ever going to cough up big money for a Star Rubies it would have to be 1996-97. Got to go with the original.

Keeping to the theme of three cards and if I only include PC cards I actually have in hand I'd go with this trio.

92-93 Beam Team on a football (soccer) card is blowing my mind!

Interesting third name on the list given Dantley was not a 3PT shooter or a big man. A lot of efficient shooting and high free throw nights from a non-3PT shooting wing.

The only surprising thing there is they identified anything as fake.

That's an awesome effort. Some great names there.

Are there many bigs this isn't a weakness for?!

Choosing to purposely misunderstand...

I think you collect baseball as well? How's your Wander Franco exposure? (So to speak.)

Far from a rainbow, but in the interests of adding something random to the thread here is some mid-90s parallel action. I have no idea how I came to have all three of these but quite like that I do.

Well, given the Silver is still in the US awaiting shipment back one day it makes for a very sad rainbow - not like the impressive effort of @GarnettFan4Life (I added the Hardcourt Holoview to the pic as well to bulk it up a little!)

It's not yet "successful" and may never be, but I have 5/6 of the 1997-98 SPX "rainbow". Base, Sky, Bronze, Silver, Gold but still need the Grand Finale. I don't think I have ever tried to "chase" any form of rainbow though.
