I always find Crown Royale has some interesting di-cuts and I do enjoy the Topps Variations.

Great set. The photo on the Kobe is especially cool.

Nice looking card for the return. I am hoping to have a "HOF" mailday in the next few weeks, so hopefully something for you to check out then! All the vest with the family.

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...

Very nicely done!

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...

Thanks. Essentially, it boils down to roughly; when the company went under a former Scoreboard employee swiped the image for the "certificate of authenticity" and started using it to try and sell backdoored items from the bankruptcy sale, or just plain fake autos on random cards. From memory...

Well there aren't 53 of them or multiple 1/1 so that's a start! (Not that I know much about Panini cards so happy to be wrong.)

Well done. Now that is a much more achievable rainbow than most these days!

Awesome pick ups of two great players that will always be synonymous with the Pistons for me. I don't know if there is an easier starting line up to remember than Billups/Hamilton/Prince/Wallace/Wallace. Really appreciate the attention to detail and thought process that went into selecting the...

Love him or dislike him, it's hard to argue against LeBron being an "intriguing player." Nice pick ups.

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...
