The Mission Mailday Thread:Updated Sun 19 Jan.

[mattyeah]

Beginning tonight I'll be unpacking 6-months of built up COMC goodness that arrived today.

This will also be an ongoing thread providing a photographic journey of PC set chase progression. Will try and have it all completed by Sunday night, starting later tonight.

I'll be listing completed base and insert sets, as well as insert sets which are at least 50% complete.

Scroll through the posts to see what I put up!

[BigAl83]

Haha i think its gonna take another 6 months to get everything pictured in this thread.
Thats one huge haul of cards mate. Sweet!

 

[mattyeah]

O.K let the games begin.

Product: 95-96 - E-XL
Set Progress: 100/100 COMPLETE
Complete sets available: Not Numbered
Why I like: Love the black borderless look, with the colorful player shot, great contrast. Timeless look.

Product: 96-97 - E-X2000
Set: 82/82 COMPLETE
Complete Sets available: Not Numbered
Why I like: I love acetate cards, and this set was revolutionary in design for base cards, probably the first 'Premium' base set. Plus it has the nicest true Kobe RC in my opinion.

Product: 07-08 - Bowman Elevation
Set: 100/100 - COMPLETE
Complete Sets available: 999
Why I like: Clean and crisp design, with plenty of ink, plus I love the pose Durant is in.

Product: 10-11 - Totally Certified
Set: 184/184 COMPLETE
Complete Sets available: 565
Why I Like: My other love besides acetate, and patches...shiny stuff, and these cards are a whole lotta shiny.
Super Saver Side note: I picked up the Paul George for $10 from the U.S, as the bloke thought he'd be a bust, that was kind of a steal looking back.

And last but not least for now.

Product: 95-96 - SkyBox Premium Standouts Hobby
Set: 6/6 COMPLETE

Complete Sets Available: Not Numbered/Ratio: 1:18 Packs
Why I like: See above Shinyness!

Product: 98-99 - Metal Universe Planet Metal
Set 15/15 COMPLETE
Complete Sets Available: Not Numbered/Ratio 1:36 Packs
Why I like: Great design, sharp curves, great use of the foil look.

 

[mattharper85]

Also loving this set too

 

[mattyeah]

[ozballer23]

What and epic thread. I look forward to seeing the progress.

 

[mattyeah]

Well look no more mate next set is here.

Product: 97-98 - E-X2001
Set Progress: 82/82 COMPLETE
Complete sets available: Not Numbered
Why I like: The acetate love continued with this E-X set, another great design, with popping colours. Honestly I can't think of a more consistently impressive product that had multiple years then E-X as you will see again later.

Watching the latest ep of Justified then back into it.

 

[OutlawNinja]

Some damn nice ol school goodness.
Love the Standouts and E-x 2000.
Planet metal was a damn good set !!!

 

[mattyeah]

Two more sets before I go to training.

Product: 93-94 - Upper Deck SE Die Cut All-Stars
Set Progress: 30/30 COMPLETE
Complete Sets Available - Not Numbered/Ratio 1:30 Packs
Why I Like: This set is what got me hooked initially on cards way back in the 90s, so much nostalgic value here, so glad to finally complete it.

and

Product: 96-97 - Fleer Total O
Set Progress: 10/10 COMPLETE
Complete Sets Available - Not Numbered/Ratio 1:44 Packs

Complete Sets Available - Not Numbered
Why I Like: It's E-X nuff said.

Product: 99-00 - E-X
Set Progress: 90/90 COMPLETE
Complete Sets Available - 3499
Why I Like: This set is on par with 08-09 Upper Deck Radiance for my favorite base set of all time. So much ink in these cards, and really exciting design.

Product: 07-08 - Topps Echelon
Set Progress: 85/85 - COMPLETE
Complete Sets Available - 199
Why I Like: Reminds me a lot of 95-96 E-X, with the black borderless exterior, and almost holographic looking player photo, really love the silver leafing along the sides.

Well that's it for tonight folks, tomorrow we'll get into a lot the incomplete stuff, plenty of insert and patch beauty to behold, stay tuned.

 

[drobfan8]

Incredible stuff.

Spewing I missed the E-x days of busting.

Topps Echelon is real nice and very underappreciated.
Cracking set.

Yeah for 07-08 Echelon and Premier would be my top two with Ultimate Collection a close third, not a great year for the Exquisite design though.

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

Love the E-X2000 set! Bargain on the PG24!

Yeah I can't say I rate the 07/08 Exquisite design either.
