Massive year of selling non-KG cards to buy KG cards this year!
Sold my Luka Doncic Exquisite RC AU PSA 9 to buy the Gold Refractor PSA 10 jersey numbered below and sold a LaMelo Ball Immaculate RC AU to buy the 2003-04 Exquisite base PSA 8. I also traded a jersey numbered KG BGS 9.5 for a beautiful PSA 10 Flux Titans Gold Scope and obtained the 2007-08 Exquisite base and sent off to PSA (8)!
The Finest /25 is a big card for me though and takes the cake this year!

Notice how I said fav card in the title then had a top 3 lol - same problem as you have I think - could have done 10 but tried to have self restraint
Great thread. 2023 for me has been a year of far more selling than buying, and most of my buying has been set chases. That said, here's my Top 3 of '23:
1. I've always got my eye out for nice Shaq Magic uniform cards, and I also collect the 2020-21 One & One Legends Gold set. When I saw this, I was hesitant to throw a bid on since it was already up towards my limit. But I did anyway and this thing just pops with the gold and the classic Orlando pinstripe uniform.
2. Obviously not basketball, but the 92-93 Beam Team is one of my favourite sets ever. So when I saw these UCL Chrome ones, I got interested in what a new take on them was like. This Haaland was a surprise find a day before the auction ended, so had to do a bit of retroactive selling afterwards, but the Black /10s look so good that I collect this set as well now.
3. Not much story here, but this was the first Zion Prizm RC I ever owned, and I only got it in June this year.
The massive price drop meant I could consider it, and I got it for a great price with a last second bid. I love the blue shimmer actually - reminds me of the X-Cited insert from 94-95 E-motion.
