The thrill of the (set) chase....and some big dunking freaks! (scan heavy)

[skip20]

Been a while since I got around to scanning in some Side PC and set chase items so will bung these up and hope someone has some cards for those set chases!

Will 'The Thrill' Barton




Certified Rookie Roll Call Blue Auto /129



Rookie Silo /99 (on card)




Letterman Chase - Toney Douglas

This now gives me DOUGA - love the thrill of the chase!

Threads Letterman /630




07 08 Hot Prospects RPA

Basically just need the SP ones now - and yes, Durant can wait a while!

Al Thornton /399



Corey Brewer /399 - lousy one colour and no break 'patch' - don't you just HATE that!




09 10 HOF Famed Fabrics

This is a really significant milestone as the only card left that I know exists is the Larry Bird which is SPd to 20. The other three cards I've never seen are Sam Jones, Tom Gola and Bobby Knight which are safely presumed as never manufactured.

If anyone sees the Bird please give me a heads up - been chasing this set since it was released!

Dan Issel /99



Kareem Abdul Jabbar /99




09 10 HOF Dream Team Patches

David Robinson /99 - this now gives me Bird, Magic and the Admiral...




The Dunk Champs

Havent added to this side PC in quite some time and was thinking of giving it away, but a few good deals from a few good blokes and I'm back in business! Big props @Strop @Jaames @matty83 for reigniting the passion!

Cebric Ceballos IP auto - my very first of Mr Blindfold! Although after Chase Budinger's attempt and watching Ceballos' original feat I'm pretty sure Cedric could see through that alleged blindfold!

How good were the old school Fleer Ultra cards!



Gerald Green auto (off sticker) - He blew out the candle...



Jason Richardson /100 (on card) - Between the legs innovator... Love the way the colours pop on this card!



Brent Barry - ...from the FT line!

Off sticker in the wrong uniform...



Big on card auto and great design but still in the wrong uniform....



On card auto in the right uniform but a bit faded. EMBOSSING FTW!!!!!!!!!


..put all three together and you have one kick a55 auto product!


T Ross-asauras - yes, I just made that up on the spot... Nice looking on card product, lazy sig though...



Spud Webb /49 - The fan favourite! These canvas look products really do need an on card finish, stickers stand out like the proverbial you know what...



Dy-NATE-mite - The other pint sized champ

w/Iggy /50


MASSIVE on card rookie auto /1299 - appreciate the rookie enthusiasm on the 1st year auto Nate!



The Dunking GOAT! My favourite dunker bar none...he did dunks in games that guys couldn't do in practice! Achieved dunk of the century too....

Platinum Portrait Patch /100


SPX Endorsements auto



The Human Highlight Film /275 - very underrated the old Bowman Sterling, would be nice to have a pic of him dunking though!



....and finally only my second ever auto of this bloke, not a huge fan, but he did win a dunk contest!

On card and very shiny....

The Black Mamba!

Kobe Bryant Prizm auto!



Thanks for looking folks, comments always appreciated. Hopefully my renewed interest in my somewhat stagnant set chases and side PCs are contagious for everybody!

 

[tcorbal]

Crazy lot there!! Nice Barrys and a Kobe ftw!!

 

[Tom12]

Sweet stuff as always, I gotta get a Nate Robinson auto again! Was one of my favs You might find a thing or two for your PC and set chases in my GU/patch and autograph sale threads Will be waiting patiently for the next writeup/mailday

 

[Awoj21]

sweet Kobe!
Like that Robinson and Carter patch as well

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Nice TRoss Skip. I'm about 45 cards into that set, I like it!

 

[Strop]

Awesome pickups Skip! Love all the ol school autos.

Is Brent Barry the most unlikely winner of the Dunk comp? Just going by looks alone?

 

[The_Silence]

Awesome pickups Dwayne

 

[xavierty]

sweet pick ups , must say i love the vince portraits /100 cant go past fleer

Only my second Kobe auto - both on card too! If it wasn't for the dunk comp I wouldn't have any!

I think you can tell a person's age if they follow Spud or Nate - Nate is definitely for the new breed! Guy does have hops though but his new auto is nowhere near as good....

sweet Kobe!
Like that Robinson and Carter patch as well

Nice looking on card auto makes all the difference, Carter is an agleess wonder - glad that patch is in the Raptors colour scheme too when he first exploded onto the NBA scene.

Nice TRoss Skip. I'm about 45 cards into that set, I like it!

It's a real nice looking set - and here I am thinking you weren't collecting at all these days! Brooklyn sig, KGFan4life - sounds like a KG Brooklyn only side PC to me!

Awesome pickups Skip! Love all the ol school autos.

He does resemble a gangly looking Woody Harrelson in White Men Can't Jump....did the FT dunk better than Jordan too. Kenny Walker with the chains always looked like more of a street thug to me with that massive flattop too.

Awesome pickups Dwayne

Cheers Dody, been a while between set chase pickups....

sweet pick ups , must say i love the vince portraits /100 cant go past fleer

I thought you might like that one best! heh heh Old school patches rock!

 

[penny collector]

Great pickups! Love seeing lil old Spud Webb in a mailday!

 

[Reignman40]

Beautiful pick ups!

However if you believe that that Brent Barry is is the wrong uniform in that Sonics uniform auto, I'll be happy to add it to my Brent Barry PC. Ticks both the Barry and Sonics PC's boxes for me!

 

[ozballer23]

nice way to end a mailday with the mamba! Love the spudd auto too. Mr Green is very under rated, however wasn't a fan of the "cupcake" dunk lol.

I thought you were a fan of 6'8 PGs like Penny! heh heh Spud was always a fan favourite.....

Will have a scan through your bucket to see if we can work something out - always happy to help a PC...

The cupcake dunk was one of his better ones along with the 'double dunk'... He seems to do a helluva lot of big windmills!

 

[A1CardsandGaming]

Love the variety of your mailday mate. Congrats on the new additions

 

[wjrwebber]

Ice's blindfold dunk is all legit, Budinger is just gimpy

He also has quite a few certified autos out there on the cheap, so you don't have to settle for an IP auto anymore

 

[Brett Szabo]

You are on a level above everyone with your card maildays. Thank you for showing them. The Carter Fleer card might be the best although the Seattle B Barry one is a smart idea with the big space to write the autograph.

 

[la iph]

As always a nice trip with you Skip congratz

Variety is easy Tez, all it takes is a little bit of disorganisation and a fair bit of distraction! Can't go wrong with the dunk champs though - everybody has those memories seared into their brain!

Looking back it looks like Ice took a deviation at the FT line to align himself with the hoop, but yes Budinger was a little off the mark with that particular attempt.... hah hah Have my eye out for a nice Ceballos auto, on card and Phoenix uni preferably!

I'd say I'm a level below most people AC - I buy the low end stuff nobody else wants! Topps autographs are cool - that stamp in the top left corner gets me everytime! Carter Raptors patch is indeed cool, not as prolific and easy to get as you might think!

As always a nice trip with you Skip congratz

...and it's always a pleasure having you along for the ride!

 

[Rodman91]

Awesome as always mate.

Guessing you were the one that bought that Kobe auto off here for a steal?

Wouldn't call it a steal, but was offered a price that I found too hard to turn down...
