Well I'm gonna have a crack at a flickr mailday. I'm hoping it's a bit easier than PB was lately.
Hopefully you'll enjoy a few of them, although it's mostly late Panini stuff.
Anyway I'll do a few in bunches as I've managed to put a few from the same issues together. I won't post the backs of the cards. All are 21/xx
I'll start with this butt ugly card.
Hopefully I'll find some of the parallels that go with it.
This card is also pretty ugly but I now have 9 of the 11 KG cards from 06-07 Reflections numbered 21 or higher jersey numbered (if that makes sense!). I'm missing two base card parallels.
Here they are all together. The 3 Mirror images are 21/100, 21/50, 21/25 and the Reflections Gold auto is 21/50.
Here are 3 Clear Vision cards I've landed. I like the fresh clean look of these...
A couple of orange cards. Hoops one is all kinds of sparkly! Prizm is 21/25.
Next card is pretty cool. Edward Vela does these art cards. I kinda like them, had to wait ages for the 21/25 one to show up and when it did I won it. Love the pic of KG, sums him up to a T.
Here's the back...
One of the few cards KG has had all the 2016-17 season. #21/25. I have the orange one 21/65 as well.
These two Gold Standard cards are nice. Bummer is the patch versions are both /15 so no good for me.
Really like this card. I wanted a KAT/Wiggins/KG triple of something and Panini obliged.
I've also picked up two cards from last year's Immaculate set. The bronze parallel 21/49.
Immaculate Standard 21/75
This card is cool.
It sold on ebay before I could get it, but the buyer was from the Phillipines and he offered it to me at his cost which was great. Cheers Gary!!!!
I have 6 of 11 KG's from 07-08 SP, will have to do a pic one day of them all.
Next couple of cards are kinda cool too. I started up an instagram account and came across a young guy who collects KG. He has over 1000 crds and he's only 18. Very impressive. Anyway I managed to pick up a couple of crds he neede and we traded so I could land these 2.
This second one I was especially keen on as I now have 4 of the 5 KG cards I can get from 14-15 Spectra. It's 21/25 and awesome in hand. Just missing the base 21/75...
Here's the 4 21/xx cards together.
Onto a nice base parallel - very white....
Now onto some 2015-16 National Treasures. Some outfit on ebay bust a MASSIVE amount if this stuff. So much so they got 3 KG 21/xx cards from it along with numerous other jersey numbered cards. Really helped me out chasing them. I now have 6 out of 8 KG cards from that set jersey numbered.
I'll just do the one photo.
I'm missing the patch version of the top middle card and another jersey card called Timelines.
Here's a big black card. Looks like a schoolkid designed it on Microsoft Paint.
This one's cooler though.
I've had two other versions of this Flair card for like 10 years, so was cool to get this one too.
It's 21/250.
The other two below are 21/58, and 21/25....
Just the 3 to go.
This card is just another Panini parallel but it is so detailed that I really like it. 21/25.
I have the red version 21/149 which kinda reminds me of a PMG red.
This one arrived recently from Germany. 21/60. Be very keen on any other parallels of it.
Finally, I know there's been no massive card/s in this mailday but this one is as big as it gets for me these days. There's no new KG autos snd often his patches are now numbered to /10 or /15. Panini cards as you know dominate the market now and it's very rare for me to get a card that's from Upper Deck, Skybox or Fleer, as it has to be from 2007-08 or older to be a Twolves card.
It is kinda sucking the fun out of what I do a little bit. But moving on.
I was trawling the internet as I do and found a youtube clip of a KG collector who was sharing his collection. He was all the way from Hungary. There were 3 8 minute videos where the cards just got better and better. Luckily for me he's showing the backs of some of the cards and towards the end of the 3rd vid a real 21/xx gem popped up! I immediately tried my best to track him down and fortunately found him on facebook. I had just landed a nice KG patch from Black Gold which he was keen on and we managed to work a trade. It took 2 weeks to get here but when it did it was worth the wait....
Even the back/numbering is cool!
It's my second 21/xx essential credentials - I have the 04-05 version 21/67 (probably the worst year for them). I've never seen the rare 90's Ess Cred cards jersey numbered and wouldn't be able to afford them anyway. I have seen the 06-07 21/23 yellow version but missed out on it, so this is as good as it's gonna get with Essential Credentials for me.
Thanks for sticking it out till the end. I have 29 cards to go to get to 300, that'll keep me going for a year or two!
Cheers
