Thanks mate, the more I see of the modern stuff, the more I appreiate the older stuff! Kobe nostalgia ftw, no. 8 in those iconic adidas kicks!

Cheers mate, that speaks volumes coming from a design minded individual such as yoruself!

Vintage looking cards always strike a chord.... Nice Kaboomish finish on the Hand Crafted Red, never seen that particular insert before. Noice!

Not many parallels back then, insert sets were very unique and to some degree the checklist matched the set theme too. Inserts wise there hasn;t really been a ny great new ideas that Panini has come up with in the modern era - some of the manga inspired stuff perhaps and the booklets, but that...

Hey folks - KGF4L has demanded soem more maildays so we better listen to the man...or else the ban hammer may be wielded! lol This set completion is from 2000-01 Upper Deck Encore, being the High Definition set. Each card has a nice sheen to it and look really good under the light. The other...

Welcome back to the forum mate. I think it's about high time we renamed one of these basketball channels in your honour.... Nice looking card and return to the boards in what can only be described as being in a "timely" manner,,,,,

Don't stress mate, just grab a PSA 6 - heh heh Good luck with the chase.

Impressive haul! It sounds like a welcome to the incomplete set builders club is in order! lol Just out of curiosity, because I haven't seen many around, what do you expect the Bronski to be worth?

Like the finish on that Hoops - and sheesh, that's one young looking Lebron! Nice pickups!

That's what I like about the older pre Panini era, more innovation and less replication. Tim Duncan block s incoming to finish it off. Blocks and dunks seem hardest to track down and seem to go for a premium.

I'm already more than half way through completing it a second time. Plenty of false starts (and finishes) apparent.... Ironically the last card needed was Stevie Franchise, grabbed doubles (or trips) of almost everything else lol

You haven't been paying attention to the amount of gimmicky Panini die cuts? Hopefully still some new ultra modern product around for the man with the scorpion sig....

Sure is mate, just wish they all had such nice photos. The old looking rounded CRT screens and that early digital font in the top right all add to the era and gimmick, kids these days don't know that TVs weren't always flat screens!

Nice work mate, my eyes must be gettign old and tired - took me forever to pick out the 'winter' aspect to those slam cards, very subtle.

Couple of hard to get autos there - let alone on card, both have pretty decent sigs too!

Much love to Studio - very under-rated product with some really great looking cards.

Liekd it the first tiem I saw it - surprised nobody else replicated or developed the idea further.

In 00 -01 it was year two Elton Brand who put up hsi second 20-10 year in a row and was looking like the next big thing. Part of the allure of these cards is looking back at the time with 100% hindsight and reading it all back. Imagien if it was duncan and Yao or something similar - iconic...

Good point, I'll run with that... lol

I hear you, veryhard to hit anything decent from low end releases. For Momentum they increased the autos per box but always hard to hit something decent. Same with products like Chronicles or anything retail these days.I actually quite like some of the Chronicles designs actually. Just be glad...

Yes, beleive it or not I messed up a second set chase in the exact opposite manner. I thought I had finished the set but in looking back was one card short! D'oh! Worst..........feeling..........ever! This set was from 00 01 Topps Fineset - Man 2 Man which was comparing the the two #1 picks...

Hey collectign fam, what's good? Just thought I'd post up a couple of small set chases so you can learn how not to do things. First up, 02 03 Upper Deck Dunkvision Inserts which was a seven card set with 1:24 pack odds. Not high tier but some good names and what I think is a nice looking TV...

Wowsers - that's a mega dreamy mailday! Soem of the ore obscure Panini sets are actually some of the better releases imo - never really understood why Prizm was so popular. Never seen that Intercontinental before or that massive 8 x 11 - what a monster! Love the booklets, at least they're all...

Iin a never ending vault of cards I now rea;ise I don't have a single Udon card! Solid career. but not sure if its jersey retirement status....

Star Rubies and Planet Metal are the pick of the litter for me - although a very sneaky case hit wth the HOF Contenders which a lo tof peopel aren;t aware of. For a low end set Hoops has soem really nice looking inserts - Legends of the Game ftw!
