Hi all,

For all of the newer members or people who don't go in the basketball section - hello!

Matt here from near Wollongong NSW. Big fan of NBA since around 1991/92 when I came across NBA packs in newsagents, seen NBA highlights on the weekend and probably found Beckett or some NBA mags in the newsagents while trying to take a sneaky look at the adult mag section.....

I loved Shaq - pulled a Power Booster from some Topps packs at a machine that dispensed packs in a mall one day. My brother pulled a Grant Hill TSC First Day Issue from a newsagent pack - a HUGE card at that time. And my friends and I ordered a box of Collector's Choice to rip and got some cool cards from there too!

I eventually seen this tall lanky guy, kind of crazy and obsessive about the game, like i was at the time, and I've been a fan ever since. His name was Kevin Garnett.

I had a collecting break late 90's when girls became more interesting than cards and for some reason, like a thousand other people here and around the world, once we get shit in order we are drawn back into the world of sport and collecting. Very cool. I've been around here since mid 2009, seen a lot of ups and downs including the impact of facebook on forums around the world.

No stupid questions, it's a very different climate since the 90's, hell even since 5 years ago and even this year! Let's all help out here, not be dickheads and have a good time, it's only cardboard!

There's heaps of resources around so you don't get screwed in a bad deal and I'll be posting helpful links and podcasts even in the posts below. Or there's heaps of members around who will help out.

Cheers

Matt

I just managed to pick that guy up in an all time fantasy draft, is he any good? did he ever do much in his career?

What a wise decision that was Kiwi ! He should be a great puzzle piece for the fantasy team and with his widely renowned motivational skills he will likely give you a good shot at that fantasy title bro!

Cheers!
 
Anyone know who this bloke is??
