New guy: Vintage hoops :)

[dhjacks]

I just discovered this site. You can't have enough folks to chat about cards.
I'm a psa junkie and am working on completing all of the basketball cards from 1969 to 1981 in graded form (about 73% complete). My jabbar master set is the most complete of those on the registry. I've got a few more carvel discs to get and i'll have all the discs completed (MSA, Crane, Buckman, Carvel). Completed the Jewel/Prism and the Icee Bears. I also am always looking for oddball stuff from the early years of basketball history.

Hope to get to know you all better.

Don

Welcome Don. We have traded and chatted on eBay and thru Jefferey's site and forum. The Hondo Carvel I got off you is still the only one I've seen pop up. Much appreciated that!

I offloaded all my prisms for a massive profit and bought a Russell SGC RC :-D

Vintage here is really starting to kick off and old school is always appreciated here as well. Glad to have you pop in as I know you certainly know your stuff.

Thats a massive task you have got there. Im only doing the Celts version raw and am 5 cards short from 1933-1981 :-D

Don's a straight up guy too and I'm sure hates BGS/BVG as much as us too Hilly :-D

Great to have more guys that are entrenched in the hobby like he is. We need Isiaas to join up now ;-)

Thank you all for the wonderful welcome. I look forward to having some fun here. Thank you also Chadjaja....i do remember that exchange we had. Sounds like you are going to need to expand your sights beyond the Celtics if you are getting that close to completion....wow!

This guy?

 

[graham]

Was it the Comspecs that were covered recently in a magazine article ? I cant remember if it was Beckett or the SMR ...

 

[chadjaja]

Compsecs LMAO

These cards make me laugh! Some guy steals the pics from topps previous year and then makes his own cards and they go on to be worth a fortune! HAHAHA

Thats one great card Don and not easy to come by. The Maravich is most sought after.

They have been covered before in beckett Hill and numerous other places. If you did this today they would be worthless.
