Hey everybody - quick update on the set chases as well as some new PC stuff which just came in which includes some freebies from the Adelaide trade day - good to see everyone out there again!
Starting out small....
Numbered, Base and Parallels
Larry Bird - Topps, Masterpieces and Hardwood Heroes /249
Mashburn Draft Stars Chromium (Classic did put out some decent product back then!)
Stockton Finest Refractor Green /149 (no, in case you were wondering nowhere near a rainbow!)
Oscar Robertson Topps Stars Finest? and Triple Threads /299
The Obligatory Game Used
Kidd Ovation Authentics - I really should give up collecting Kidd GU - waaay too many to chase!
Mashburn Playmakers Player's Club Warm Up /350
Stockton Certified Fabric of the Game /299
Set Chase Update
Tyreke Evans Boxtopper /349 - now 72% complete!
Dave Cowens Famed Fabrics /149 - now only 6 more to go, 3 of which apparently don't exist! From the ones that I know exist I need the Abdul-Jabbar /99, Issel /99 and Bird /20. Gola, Knight and Jones I've never seen....
Famed Signatures - Cheryl Miller /499 and Rick Barry /489 (both on card). Still need heaps so if you have anything numbered /500 just let me know! The Miller took ages to redeem, so long that I actually requested a replacement and months later get the original card back... bizarre.
07 08 HP Rookie Patch Autos - easy so far but now need to hunt down the bigger names - will wait on the Durantula for now! Some great patches in these and they look fantastic....
The Sightly Better Stuff
Quincy Pondexter Hoops Auto (good to see him get some PT in the Playoffs)
Marbury / Kidd Skybox Fresh Ink Gamebreakers Patch - I miss Skybox designs....
Jamal Mashburn Classic Daft Picks auto (on card) - this is about my third or fourth one of these but is the best one yet. Signed both first and last name and no breaks in the signature from the silver sharpie....
Mashburn Fleer Autographics auto (on card) - my second one of these, another upgrade as he signed both first and last name and a massive sig to boot!
Mashburn UD Ovation Superstar Warm Up Auto - quite difficult to find this particular card and another auto with both first and last name signed so quite stoked to finally have one after all these years!
The Good Stuff
Oscar Robertson Sportskings Silver auto (on card) - still sealed and no, i'm not busting it free! Another full signature too instead of 'Big O' which he tends to sign for larger print runs and IP requests.
John Stockton Limited Decade of Dominance Auto /99 (on card) - had the opportunity to pick one of these up dirt cheap a while ago, never pulled the trigger and have regretted it ever since. Glad to say I picked this one up for a decent price too! Looks great as well...
..............and finally my first ever PC patch of the great man himself, Oscar Robertson. These old school patches are pretty rare to come across and when you do they can set you back even more than the cost of an auto. This one has pretty low numbering #23/50 (ebay 1/1? lol) and is a nice clean patch with a couple of visible stitching breaks. It's actually three colours too as some white is visible when you tilt the card sideways....
Trilogy Generations patch /50
Nothing massive to write home about but should have some real nice high end Q-Pons coming in pretty soon which I'm quite excited about as well as another PC 1/1 so keep an eye out.
As always, thanks for looking and comments always appreciated. If you can help out with any set chases or PC needs feel free to send me a PM.
