Bas - Thanks mate, definitely am for sure. This certainlt ranks right up there and was completely unexpected. He knew I only collected Josh Smityh auto game used cards, as I was all hyped up watching him in the dunk comp that year. I just had to start a collectio of him, but auto game used only (as I love those types of cards). Was so shocked to see the parrallel version in my mail bag
MavsMan© - Yep, sure is bud. It's guys like this in the hobby that makes it a great experience for all, by looking after other collectors out there. Amazing stuff.I got chatting with him, and he said he actually picked this card up for me a few months back, but was looking for an opportune time to send it to me. Are you after that particular card?
DVS - :-D Ha ha ha Good on ya! Nah, just another top bloke I met on my collecting goals around the world. The holder alone is worth $9US!
scottsophie - Well, that's the thing, it is so unexpected. I have had so many PC items sent to me over the past week or so, and it's just amazing. They are people i have met going about my business, we get talking a bit, and next thing you know, surprise mailday! It's just great.
kidd05 - Definetly, I am still stoked about it and had to put that card right at the top of my PC webpage. It's a great card indeed.
mattyj - Thanks
Yeah, something about that throwback jersey that makes it sweet for me .
jimboiitmac - I am, I am. I have been fortunate enough to have somehow manage to run into a lot of nice people on my collecting goals throughout my time. I'm sort of dreading the day when I run into a nasty one, whom for whatever reason wants me to suffer or something. But the people I have met, and the many collections I get to see privatley is just amazing let me tell you. There are so many PC collections out there that just take my breath away, but people don't show them, as jealousy is a terrible thing in this hobby and many are tired of being seen as "rich and full of themselves" to go on boards and display maildays etc like many of us guys do.
Dream34 - Yep, 510!!! Man, so unlike todays sets. How funny things have come since them. But yes, the Mcdonalds cards are well, interesting to say the least.
Lippo - Yep, I definetely have for sure. An auto'ed parrallel RC of Josh Smith, I am still amazed.
:-D Yeah, the Rookie cards back then were so unlike todays technology. But I still love that set and that's why, I so wanted to finish it off.
wall3ace - Thanks man. It's so nice to have people look after you, without any thought of a reward or anything like that. It's really great.
andrew3134 - yes indeedy, the Shaq was so shiny it's not funny. My first of course, but dang, I know my 93-94 card in finest wasn't that shiny. Ithink I got ripped out of my money in thinking it was a refractor :-( But anyway.
Yeah man, all cards picture, including the Josh Smith abosolutely free and unexpected. I told him he was crazy in sending me that card, I mean, it's not even priced in Beckett!
aussie2al - Wow, nice one. It's only been happening to me recently, but it's such a thrill to get a surprise mailday. Especially one of this nature.
And it's not even Christmas!!! He just did it as he knew what I wanted and just did it. Ssshheesshh.
The Guy's name is Jeff, so is it the same guy?
