The centre piece to the shrine has arrived and I couldn't be any happier, this has been a long time coming and is proof that good things come to those that wait.
This is a piece I have been looking to buy for a very long time but I would only buy one that had both a Letter Of Authenticity from a reputable authenticator and PSA authentication. I would like to thank hairyangryfella who brought it to my attention as well as two others who aren't members on here but I'll mention them anyway and they are Matt Almond and Josh Pancow of Atlanta sports cards, he can also be found on Youtube and is a great guy to deal with.
It was given to Josh as a debt settlement and he was looking to sell ASAP which is where I stepped in and made an offer, he returned with a counter offer and the rest is history.
This piece was purchased at an Atlanta Hawks Charity Auction several years ago, unfortunately I was unable to find out the price it sold for. It comes with PSA authentication and a Letter Of Authentication from Lou Lampson which was done in 2007, I've heard bad things about Lou Lampson recently but the positive thing is that this piece was authenticated many years ago before Lou started damaging his reputation a little bit.
The game used scene for basketball jersey's is a very tough one to judge due to the lack of wear they show after a game as opposed to Football or Baseball where the evidence is more obvious and can be taken from photos or footage of the games, I'm happy with the purchase in the end and the evidence is more than satisfying for me so I'll stop dribbling and show you the pics.
