Um... that sounded a bit awkward - but it's all I had to work with!
This year's Preferred booklets are a hit in my eyes; more themes, colours and player selection compared to the (already nice) inaugural set. Watching the Panini making-of vid of the GS Maravich patch also instilled a bit more confidence that they weren't simply slapping together random bits of any old jersey into these booklets
With NT in the spotlight and Preferred boxes at a relatively bargain price, I was about to gamble on a case or two hoping to snag a few nice patch booklets... however common sense prevailed and I simply hunted for singles instead of recklessly throwing money at boxes (as I do) which were likely to yield nothing I want!
Well, I may be a slow learner but I do get there eventually
Anyway, blah, blah, blah... here are the cards already!
The laundry list so far:
VETERAN (shown this one before, though it bears repeating!): Durant/Bryant/Stoudemire/Ginobili/Griffin/Bosh/Howard
CLUTCH: Bryant/Jennings/Allen/Harden/Paul/Evans
BUCKETS: Love/Thompson/Durant/Ginobili/Nowitzki/Bryant/Rose
ROOKIE (completed booklet rainbow; /249, /25, /1): Irving/Kanter/Williams/Valanciunas/Thompson/Vesely
ROOKIE: Valanciunas/Leonard/Robinson/Davis/Drummond/Kanter (need /25 version for the rainbow)
LOTTERY (decent draft class here): Griffin/Hansbrough/Harden/Evans/Curry/DeRozan/Jennings
REPEAT
(one of my favs; pre-adi tag awesomeness): O'Neal/Cooper/Walton/Rodman/Olajuwon/Thomas
The best thing about these booklets is that I now *technically* have 1/1 tags from a heap of awesome talent - something I couldn't achieve if I had to pick up cards of each individual player (Kyrie in particular)... it's cheating a bit but I don't care! Hahaha
Now I'm just hoping to add one more, er, one of one feat. the one and only King James (unfortunately been pipped at the post on the last couple of auctions)... and possibly another old school version preferably with some sweet Nike, Champion, Sand knit etc. tags.
Thanks for taking the time to check it out!
