What are you working on in terms of your collection at the moment?

[TAB1980]

Thought it would be good to have a discussion around what our current priorities are in terms of our collections.

As someone who has just recently come back to the hobby after a 10 year break I have recently purchased a few things here or there. My focus has mainly been on older stuff. Whether it be a nostalgic thing or stuff I have missed out on over the years.

At this stage I have decided whether to continue with my David Lee (Warriors only) or not yet. It looks like I have about 2 or 3 seasons to catch up on!

I'm finding I'm not really into the new stuff all that much as I find the parallel's way too confusing and over the top especially considering most of them are not numbered.

RC and some silvers from 2020-21 Prizm.

I am also keen on base and inserts from Prizm. I am keeping it very narrow. My sealed stock is increasing at a quick rate, so trying to move into getting some singles.

Sounds like your sealed stock collection might make for a good mailday thread!

Wait until i get the SMC order back.

Should I separate orders or just ship everything in one huge coffin?

2020-21 Court Kings base set and rookies level 1 plus various inserts

Are you mainly buying singles off ebay? Have you busted much of this yourself?

Singles and lots off ebay, not much up on COMC atm. I havent busted any 2020-21 Court Kings and will probably skip this year, all the sticker autos and non-worn jerseys have put me off a bit.

Yeah, the sticker auto's are a bit disappointing. Do you collect Court Kings every year?

How long do you think it will take you to put the set together?

I did last years set up to rookies level 1 and a bunch of inserts so doing it again. I'm in no rush to finish it so it will probably take a year or so, just in time for next year lol. I mainly collect old Upper Deck and SP Authentic sets, I'm working on the 1997-98 Upper Deck insert sets atm too. What older cards do you chase?

Bit of everything really.

I have a bit of a project going at the moment which i won't say too much about yet but it might be worth keeping your eye out.

Basically, i love busting stuff every now and then so i've got a whole bunch of packs in the pipeline covering a period from mid-nineties through to today.

Apart from reducing the total number of cards I have (down to about 275 right now), I'm still working on the following:

- UD All-Time Great All-Time Forces
- Fleer Retro LeBron inserts
- 1993-94 Finest Refractors

I've also been picking up these if I see them for a bargain:

- Iverson 1996-97 inserts
- Parallels /49 or less of Giannis, Luka and Rui
- Fleer Retro PMGs

Overall I'm just trying to cut down to only cards that I'd be willing to pay for PSA fees for once things are a bit less mental, and then put them all away for a while.

Some pretty awesome collections there!

I'd love to get a sealed box of 1993-94 Finest to put away but gee they're expensive now!

Bam Adebayo PC and 2006-07 Chrome Refractors is what I'm collecting...

Love the look of the chromes and busted a box back in the day - can't believe boxes used to be so cheap I would bust a few in high school, still yet to bust a full box since rejoining the hobby- so already have a few to help me get started... Currently considering a DeAndre Ayton PC as I'm a big fan of his game but I don't know if I want to compete with the soaring prices on eBay

Pistons autos (see Motor City Auto Project) and Pistons cards from Revolution & Mosaic.

That's really interesting I actually prefer sticker autos.
I like the idea of have a hologram for authenticity

I like the card ones because you know the player has been with that card!
