Exquisite update

[drobfan8]

I've been chipping away at some Exquisite base/parallel chases

They're turning up often enough and at decent prices which is great.

Hoping to get to halfway (21/42) through the 05/06 Exquisite Golds by the end of the year.

Here we go.

I've picked up a few Immaculates lately, nice base/parallel set.

D. Cuz Gold /25, I know he's a bonehead but he's 20 and 10 and getting better, surely he'll be leading a team to the Playoffs soon. Reminds me of C. Webb for a few reasons.

09/10 Exquisite Iggy base
09/10 Exquisite Timmy base

Now on to some of my main chases.

05/06 Exquisite base Gold Billups /25.
Had to buy all 3 in one sale but got them for a great price, so no biggie.
Better yet, the middle card is jersey # 1/25
Gotta be happy about that.

Next is one of my favourite players of all time.

B. Wallace Gold /25

Now a couple of Monster additions.

I used to own a Ray Ray but stupidly sold it off. But picked up this one

And now a MASSIVE addition, some may know, AI is hoarded big time and sells very well (more than Kobe shockingly when it comes to Exquisite base/parallels) and amazingly it was an AI collector that gave this one up.

Lastly, I started picking up some 03/04 Exquisite base when the 05/06 Exquisite Golds weren't popping up as much as I liked, now I've got all my main wants from the list except for Kobe.

Absolutely stoked to add this guy, one of the best scorers of the 00s and am so happy to add this card.

03/04 Exquisite base T. McGrady

Just a sweet set and a cool card.

Thanks for looking and a big shout out to Matt aka ShawnBradleyFan for helping me out.

Now let's go see some Nat Treasures getting busted.

[sacface]

Love em!!!

 

[Charles Way]

Very nice mate, Exquisite collection is still the benchmark I reckon and good to see your chase, really sweet cards bro

 

[KB.]

Nice cards mate. Best of luck with your set goals!

 

[WoobieZarz]

That's a pretty cool chase to have going Ben.

I still remember the 04-05 Box I busted, Melo Patch Auto, Emeka RC Gold, Luol Deng Auto/Patch redemption (which they never made).

The base would be a fair bit cheaper now, considering the gold rush they had on the market back when they were live.

GL with the Golds, would look sweet together!

Good luck with the rest of the chase, awesome base set and congrats on landing that Iverson!

 

[nenjabin]

Powering through Great stuff!

Looking good with all your new Exquisites Ben! I have my own Exquisites chase going

Pretty cool update / mailday.

Boogie did an audio interview with Bill Simmons over on grantland a few weeks ago, to which Simmoms asked about his bone-headedness. His response was very interesting and one I wasn't expecting - he does say he's been working on it tho. Worth a listen!

You lucky bugger being able to afford a box, was it $500? What did you do with the Deng redemption? The base is crazy affordable, especially right now with Panini punching out high end.

Ooooh what Exquisites are you chasing?

Pretty cool update / mailday.

I'll have to listen out for sure.

Nice work Benny - always good to see the humble base and parallel cards featured in a mailday! ...albeit very high end ones!

 

[ozballer23]

Exquisite is still the best around, gorgeous cards!

And I know you can appreciate the golds with that JR of yours

 

[GarnettFan4Life]

I say it every mailday but pick any year of Exquisite and they are awesome. Great to see more mate!

 

[ljandkg]

Awesome cards and great photos Ben. Those 05-06 golds are hard to show the beauty of in a photo. You've done it way better than I've ever managed with my one!

 

[Verse1]

Gotta say those 05/06 Exquisite gold base are a great looking card. You have some exquisite taste that's for sure

You have the KG jersey # right? Awesome if so.

Would love to add a KG, I saw one on ebay about 2 years ago, really wish I was chasing them then.

Yes, you're gonna puke but I won it for about $35 a few years back!

I'm not surprised at all, whilst I think that card is worth much more now, they really don't sell all that well. I got P. Pierce for $19 and Z. Bo for $2.99 not that long ago
