Holidays are here ... Working all of the time now ... Spending alot of money on people for Christmas ... Money Is tight, but I love holding onto this basketball history ! Everybody I know doesn't get why I love these basketball cards ... EVERYBODY. But I love 'em. Rob's stoppin when ROB wants to. :D

My 3 recent cards to my small collection. 2 are still on their way here from ... Australia. 32 cards right now ... 23 are worth money. Truely only trying to get a few more of my favorite players before I can just sit on what I have and stop spending so much money !

Blake Griffin ... 2009/10 ... # 5 out of 5 made ... I always wanted one of these but didn't have the money ... They sold for $200 when he was hurt ... then $500 when he started playing. The same card but out of 10 with the STICKER auto ... $1,000+ ! ... KRAZY ... But I live In Oklahoma, we LOVE Blake Griffin ... He really seems like a good guy, and he's a bad man (In a good way) to have on your team ! Just wait until he gets an all around game ! ... People hate on him for that dunk contest, with jumping the front half of that car ... Man I would of smacked both my knees on that car and fell down so quickly. He's exciting to watch. And not a douche. ... Also the ONLY person/player In my collection that's younger than me (by 3 months).

Hakeem Olajuwon ... 2010/11 ... # 3 out of 5 made ...I saw this card sell a long time ago, and for whatever reason, I let It pass me by ... I actually had the card saved and saw It a few weeks ago and said damn I wish I coulda got that ... Then like 2 days later It was up for auction. I guess I just got lucky ! Got a hold of It and I love It ! It actually says ROCKET on It. It's one of my favorite cards. It's 100% basketball history to me. One of the top centers to ever play the game. His moves / footwork were amazing to watch. TRUE respect Is always shown towards him ... as a player and as a person. EVERYONE knows what the dream shake Is ! ... Just ask David Robinson ! ... :lol:

Magic Johnson, Chris Paul, John Stockton, Isiah Thomas ... 2009/10 ... # 5 out of 10 made ... This passed me by twice. The first time I didn't have the money, and the second time I tried getting my buddy to buy It ... so I could buy It from him ... didn't work and I was always pissed about It. SO, again I somehow got lucky. It surfaced, and I got It. At first the seller said he would let It go for $450 ... I was like whoah man pump the breaks on that. That's where saving pics / prices of when something nice sells, you know what Is an actual realistic price to pull the trigger at. This and the Griffin card really hurt while I was trying to buy Christmas gifts ... but It's all good. I finally finished buying gifts last night ... so now I can attempt to gather up some money for my bank account. Anyways, I really love this card. Funny how I got the Griffin card, then this CP3 card ... then right after he got traded to the Clippers. You can really see the age of the Magic Johnson tag when you're holding It ... Though I bought It for the Chris Paul tag and the John Stockton tag. If Magic & Isiah had better tags on It, then I probably wouldn't of been able to afford It ! :lol: ... This has to be one of my favorite cards though. Basketball history !

Hope you guys have a great Christmas & New Years ! - Rob

... Get ready for NBA In 7 days !!! :kick:
 
Awesome Quad. Very wise choices there mate, those tags on the Griffin are sick. Now with CP3 at the Clippers you'd imagine his hobby value will gain a lot of attention.

Aside from that, bring on the 11/12 season! Merry Christmas mate.
 
Hard to pick a favourite!!! But easy to pick a least favourite - Damn the Dream!!! :lol:

Great PC pickups mate!

Rob you little punk... I was watching that Quad on ebay and then it was ended and the seller wouldn't reply as to why...
Awesome tag - especially the Hornet. Not that it's relevant anymore...! :p

So you gonna stop buying these nice cards and help out a hairyangryfella..? I have a few tags I am looking to part with...

- PUNK !? Made the kid laugh. :lol: ... Man, not too many cards get me all excited ! That one just about makes me drool ! ... You could always trade your Jordan tag ! ( I'll trade you all 3 of those for the Jordan ! ) ... I don't usually ask to end auctions early, but I just had to have It. Especially with the history of It passing me by at two different times ... Now I can keep ahold of It for awhile. ... (hey you're supposed to be done with Ebay ! :lol: ) ... And I can now sleep a little better at night. :lol: ... I'm FINALLY done Christmas shopping. So now maybe we can make a deal sometime soon. Lower that price alittle and I can throw some dollars at you !

... And thanks for taking the relevance outta the CP3 tag ! :lol: ... Now It's TRUELY historic ! CP3 early years !
 
Couldn't ask for much better tags for Stockton or Olajuwon - maybe if they had the little Jazz symbol or a Rocket tag perhaps but very impressive. Hornets tag is very nice too - but maybe you should save for a CP3 / B Grif dual tag for 2012! Try to get a kris Kringle happening Rob, less money on presents and more cards for yourself!
