busting 12-13 Absolute and 12-13 Contenders

[motiv8dan]

So went to Sandown this morning to check out the collectables show, met with Craig from Card Grading Australia (nice bloke), dropped some cards in for grading (my first), then bought a couple of boxes of NBA cards and some supplies that i needed, all in all good morning and about to bust some boxes with the wife (I find if you include the ball and chain there is less focus on money spent).

Pick ups here, and stand by as usual all cards for sale/trade unless Celtics:

[Mr Paparazzi]

You sure about that? Didn't think it was first 5 redeemed there is different numbering for the reds. With Kobe black numbered to 99 and think his red is 10 or 25
