MJ collection. On going thread (87-88 Fleer pickup) :)

[gibbs81]

Hello card lovers. Im gonna use this thread as a bit of motivation in order to keep my Jordan collection ticking over and also to share my experience.
Most cards might be a bit underwhelming as i will be buying cards in good condition to replace poor conditioned base cards that i got when i was a kid but there will be some inserts that i never got my hands on!

Week 1 is this Upper Deck Mr. June card. Picked up off ebay for the princely sum of $2.25, couldn't go passed it as no-one bid on it.

Week 2:
MJ Spark Plugs. $1.99 as the only bidder, happy at that price. I like the image of MJ used on this card, not my favorite background but none the less it's a pretty sweet card.

Week 3.
I was really toying with the idea of picking up either the 93-94 Topps Finest base or the 96-97 Topps Sticky Fingers insert but decided to continue my base chase and replacing damaged cards so here is what i picked up for a grand total of $11 delivered.

• 91-92 Hoops Supreme Court (replacememt)
• 91-92 Hoops NBA Champions #543 (replacement)
• 91-92 Hoops League Leader Scoring (replacement)
• 91-92 Hoops MVP McDonalds #5 (new)
• 91-92 Hoops All-time active leaders Scoring Avg #536 (replacement)
• 91-92 Fleer #211 (new)
• 91-92 Fleer #375 (new)
• 92-93 Topps Highlight #3 (new)
• 92-93 Topps All Star #115 (replacement)
• 93-94 Topps Reigning Playoff MVP (replacement)
• 93-94 Topps Stadium Club #169 (new)
• 96-97 Skybox Premium (new)

Quite possibly my favorite card of all time 91-92 Supreme Court.

WEEK 4.
Well 4 weeks in and iv already hit road bump. The Topps Spark Plugs card i bought in week 2 hasnt arrived . Iv just contacted the ebay seller about it, hopefully i dont get refunded and actually get this card.

Passed that i had a good week. I was stalking an MJ Sticky Fingers card which i could of had for $20 when the same card was listed on ebay for $12 or best offer. I put in an offer $10 and it got accepted. Happy for me this card arrived today!!!! Pumped

So that was meant to be it for the week but when a nice card pops up and the price is good you have to take it right? This card here popped up for $28 so i pounced! (still in the mail).
06/07 Upper Deck SP Authentic Fabrics

I love seeing lower end MJ as I never had amy of the high end as a kid. The spark plugs is one of my fav sets as a kid.

Make sure you check out week 5. Won some money gambling on the NBA (im not a gambler btw) and make a nice COMC purchase

WEEK 5.
So in week 4 I mentioned that the Spark Plugs card i won on ebay hadn't arrived yet and I was gettimg worried, well that card arrived in the the mail yesterday, better a month late than never right.

In week 5 i was at the pub with mates who betting on horses when i caught an NBA market. I bet some friendly bets on and next thing i know i had $200 to my name. I figured boom, this is all going on cards.
So i hit up COMC. Got some old graded fleer cards, i wasnt initially after graded cards but they were literally only a couple dollars extra so i grabbed them. Along with these cards some inserts that iv been after for a while.
All in all this lot cost me a fraction under $200.

This was definately a lucky week, way more ass then class but ill take it. I love the Face to Face inserts and pumped to add it to the collection. I finally pull the trigger on a PitK and Warp Speed cards which have been in the scopes for a while but above all these cards getting the old Fleer cards and the Living Legends just makes me feel all fuzzy inside haha.

Enjoy looking.

Classic inserts

Week 6.
So after last weeks lucky splurge i thought id tone it down a bit but stay on point to pick up a bargain. I managed to score this pair of holograms for $13. Scratch them 2 off the "need" list. My goal is to have every MJ card produced by Fleer, Skybox, UD, Topps and Hoops between 88'-93' by the end of this 52 week commitment.

WEEK 7.
Little bit late posting this week but a purchase made. This week i spent a massive $8.40 picking up a few cards from ebay to replace damaged cards and a couple i dont have.

91 Upper Deck Promo #1 (new)
91 Upper Deck Jordan/Magic (new)
92 Upper Deck base #23 (replacement)
92 Hoops Jordan/Drexler #TR1 (new)
92 Hoops USA subset #341

All common and classic Jordan apart from the Upper Deck promo card which i had never even seen before. I did some poking around and couldn't find a copy anywhere for less then $15 so to pick it up for just $2 is a score.

WEEK 8.
