Early august i decided to do a complete 180 on my collection and started chasing the new 12-13 National Treasures RPA's.
I really needed something new and nice to chase as i was kind of losing the holy fire to collect cards.
I went all-in on this one and even decided to start selling the first part of my Al Jefferson collection (as some of you probably already noticed
)
At this point im not gonna chase a complete set, as im not going to go after the scrub rookies and Kyrie and A.Davis are also a bit out of my range at this point
I decided to chase the players i really like myself and the ones i feel will have a solid chance to play significant minutes on their respective teams.
But anyway enough with all the talks and lets see some cardboard!!
First few of eBay and also was able to strike a deal with Rob for a few of these (Thanks Rob!
)
Im extremely happy with the Henson and Fournier, probably the best possible patches to get
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PART II (09/14/13):
Lets start the 2nd part of this mailday thread of with the Leonard "Brothers"
The Vucevic is a bit banged up on the RC logo (has a crease through it and a banged left corner on the RC logo). But i knew that beforehand and got it fairly cheap, and its my least favorite anyway because i hate the fact they used an old Sixers jersey patch while he's pictured in his current Orlando uniform.
Panini must really hate Orlando because besides ruining the Vucevic they also did the same with Tobias Harris (Bucks patch) and didnt make a RPA for Moe Harkless (just a regular rc auto), but they did have silhouettes of him!?!
Gotta love the Kemba patch, and really thrilled to have the Kawhi.
But im also pretty happy with the Meyers Leonard, i probably got the best possible patch because i have seen a ton of sad 2 color sideband patches for his other RPA's!
But the patches on the Brooks and Nicholson are not to shabby either!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Part III (09/25/13):
Here we go!
Ok i said i wasnt going to chase the scrubs and technically J.Vesely still has scrub written all over him. But im hoping he can build from a decent summer league and finally start playing like a #6 pick!
Klay and Cole finally came in from Panini last week, not the most insane patches but definitely seen alot worse on eBay lately.
Got the Drummond in a really nice trade, and super happy with this 3-CLR patch as ive seen a ton of his with just the white letter patches.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well here it is Part IV, and probably the last part for quite some time as i have nothing left to spend!
Im so happy to have some of these, as they include some of my favorite young players
Picked up the Biyombo for the crazy sweet patch and my 2nd Valanciunas for the patch upgrade.
Shved has the lowest print run with only /25!! Patch might not be crazy but ive also seen 3-4 of his with only the sad 2-color nameplate patches from the back of the jersey.
If i cant get the Kyrie i'll settle for Waiters
Of course the Harkless isnt a RPA, but still from the same set and think he has a great future ahead of him, too bad panini didnt make a RPA for him (which is weird as he does have Silhouettes
) but still love the card!
But my two biggest additions have to be the Harrison Barnes and Bradley Beal, im especially stoked with the Beal and the crazy cool patch on it!
Cheers!
