Ok I was going to post a mail month seeing its fairly light but with all these scans I'll just post the set for now that came in a few days ago. Beat another member to it too LOL :lol:

With this lot I go the complete set and did a deal to get the last three colour variations for Havlicek I needed seeing I already had the pink and yellow ones. Taken me four years to get all 5 colours #-o

Nice discs.
seriously, great oddball stuff there Chad.
And I find with things like that, half the fun is finding them!
So well done!
 
Thanks guys, the disc while not too expensive adds up if you do it disc by disc at $5US + and shipping etc. I got this off a guy with a bunch of sets. Did a deal for two sets but thats a secret for now ;-) These are in great condition as I would assume they are uncirculated. Like other give away cards like the Icee bear set that you got with a slush puppy (slurpee) some cards/discs always went unslold or given away. These find their way into the hobby later on etc.

Thats what makes my buckmans psa 10 disc so good as its a buckmans back one. They were given away first and then when they ran out they made more. The new ones were blank backed though. Therefore all one with buckmans on the back were actually handled by customers etc.

These Carvels are blank backed so its harder to tell. There is still a all white version without Carvel apparently out there????? After a decade and more of searching I've come to the conclusion these are prototypes and may not exist for each player in the set. Still yet to even lay eyes on a pic of one thru my contacts as well. Who knows?

I've also got the really rare Cranes potato chip disc too so I'm basically done. 8 different Havlicek variations of the discs out of assorted products.

The Gaze auto is cool because Drew doen't have many cert autos and the Parish was a bargain! :-D

Got a Havlicek holy grail card a comming though. Price doesn't always reflect rarity too so I'm wrapt to get the first one I'd ever seen.
 
thats brilliant, great art on those disks, the artist really captured the players well :D

lol and the jackson is just pure porn star :D

very jealous of the gaze too, do you think he would do a TTM auto?

awesome parish too, although there seems to be a glut of new parish autos on ebay lately, could explain the bargain price.

The artist nailed phil jackson, he was such a scrappy player.Can you get special sleeves for them chad?

JZAYeah Gaze should do a TTM for you he sign two cards for me at games no proplem so I don't see why not. He's such a great person.
Got a lot of time for anyone
 
great cards chad, you gotta be happy about completing the set. And i couldn't agree more with the comments about Gaze, he has to be one of the most approachable people around.
 
They fit into a team bag pretty snug. I have top loaders for some but need to order more. I may just submit the lot to psa in the future though.
 
I may flip the Gaze in the future as I don't really need the auto but like most say its one of his only certitfied autos.
 
Far out chad,I got to get me a set of those disc's.
Great Parish auto too.Nice stuff mate.
