Hey folks,
It's been a great 6 months for the PC so thought I'd share what I've managed to add to my #21 collection. In 2014 I got 9 cards in all year, last year it was up to 19 and 2016 already I have landed 20 cards so things are on the up with KG back in Minny and Panini making 100,000 parallels of everything!
So without further fannying about let's have a look.

Starting off with these two which cost me a fair bit for a couple of random parallels.

Then there's this nice Nets patch from 14-15 National Treasures.

Next one is something right out of left field. A Norwegian guy who collects Mike Finley sent me this rare card from 1995 for free. Thanks Rune!
There are red versions numbered '1 of 1995', then these hand numbered /295 versions. Very hard to find and I was very lucky to get it. It's the oldest card I have in my collection - 21 years old even!

Landed this little puppy for 3 bucks...

This one is a simple design but again it's old and so valuable to me. Cheers to Ben Smith the Korver collector for linking me up to this one...

This one is nice in hand...

This one is a mundane Panini parallel which is annoyingly thick, like a few others they do - too cheap to warrant a one touch but too thick to put in a folder dammit! Haha!

21/149 I think.

This one also came from 15-16 Limited and is pretty in hand...

Next two are from 15-16 Select. Both are 21/99. The shield look is 'interesting'

This one is the worst of the lot. 21/99 again....brilliant photo...

Now onto some things Panini are doing a bit better...

This is a beauty from Gold Standard. I wanted to get a dual of KG and Wiggins while they were playing together (also want a KG/Towns or a KG/Wiggy/Towns if one is ever made).
Was very lucky to land this one. Why Pek is on the card I have no idea but some nice patches...

This one is a beauty in hand. I have 3 of the 5 KG cards from 14-15 Spectra, so hope to land the 2 others at some stage...

Picked up this 00-01 Gold parallel for $6... These are pretty worthless to others but like small parts of a jigsaw for me...

IMG_20160711_142141_zpso8it7zoz.jpg


This one is an absolute gem. These came from 04-05 Skybox L.E. The Rare form inserts were 1-576 packs. Can't find anywhere how rare these patch versions are but this one is in fantastic condition and was super happy to land it for $30...

So sharp, even the back is nice!

Liked the look of these cards and they're very nice in hand. Not sure how to photograph them best so have taken 2 different ones...just the 12 parallels to chase! :D

The last three have come in over the last month and show that Panini really can make nice cards. KG doesn't have any autos now so the best I have to hope for is nice patches.

Anyway, will start with this one which arrived today....










IMG_20160711_142224_zpsua6inwf7.jpg


A very nice base card and goes nicely with these two.....

And finally altogether....

Thanks for looking and hope u enjoyed them as much as I enjoy finding them...
 
Wasn't it nice of skybox to put those little indents in the card for ones finger and thumb to make it easier to hold.

Some epic additions there.
 
Great stuff mate - you must hunt down those ebay auctions like no other! Some really nice looking cards in that lot. Keep up the good work!

Thank God no one did! Haha! It's a beautiful card.
Guys thanks for the comments. KG going back to Minny has kept the chase going. Lucky really but it's making collecting fun again
 
I always get excited when I see one of your mailday threads appear in the list.

Again so much good stuff hard to pick a favourite when they are all that good (although I do agree those totally certifieds look terrible lol)

until next time....
 
Really nice man. Love that kinda hammered finish on the Limited spotlight
It's a cool card, you photograph it from another angle and you get all sorts of different colours

Thanks to Matt and Matt! Yeah the totally certified GU is a stinker. Got it fairly cheap though and they all count!
 
What amazing additions the National treasures patches are sweet and I really love the patches in the Golden Quads too!
 
Really ramped it up with the new release stuff, must be quite refreshing to have a bunch of new stuff to chase.
Mate it is. You'll notice only 4 are old cards.....it'd be a dry old chase if he hadn't gone back to Minny!
 
Those NTs are amazing. Great to see the collection growing!
