After all the summer league tonnage I thought I'd better scan up some PC cards to show that I'm still on a mission and not some wild goose chase!

Before I get to the impressive Q-Pon clippings I'll kick off with some Will Barton who I hope has a big year (CJ McWho?)...


Fleer Retro Rookie Sensations - wasn't ever one of my favourite designs so not sure why they brought this particular design back - but they have nailed the old school look ( I suppose you can when you copy it exactly!)



Quest - not a bad looking product and at least the sticker auto wasn't an afterthought, but with a nice big designated signing spot like that it;s just screaming out for a big on card sig!



Innovation - I liek the little RC emblem and these cards always seem to have the best action shots which capture the moment and intensity of the game.



Momentum - fairly under-rated product imo, nicely designed, good finish and a heap of hits per pack. ...again with the sticker auto though.



Gold Standard by name and gold standard by nature. Rookie emblem probably would've cheapened the look of this card, nice use of memorabilia as part of the card's design and just look at that big on card scribble!



Now on to an acetate lesson... Acetate is great when used properly, but lesson one is to not slap a sticker over it and make it the focal point of the card. The bronze lettering just looks wrong too.



Better acetate with nice serial numbering but loses marks because die cut reduces the pic and auto size.



YES! Designated signing spot with big oncard auto, nice action shot and subtle use fo the RC emblem in the top right corner - elite indeed!




Now onto the man of the moment - Q-Pon himself! Brace yourselves for some short printed goodness! For once I'll shut up and let the cards do the talking!

The Autos

Prestige auto /249 - saved this from the bargain basement bin. The ignominy!



SP Letterman x2 /299 - this now gives me O-N-D-E-X-T-E-R, P is on the way soon enough! Surprisingly hard to chase down actually...



Prestige NBA logo auto /10 - BGS 9 with a 10 auto.



The Memorabilia - ordinarily these would come before the autos, but you're about to see why they didn't this time around!

TT Quad GU /99 (no this is not why)



TT Quad Patch /10 (sexy Q-Pon patch too)





Prestige Patch /10!!!



Abs Mem Patch /10!!!



What's better than those? Then how about my second one of these!


TT logotag /5!!!!!!! Two of these but still haven't tracked down the auto version yet....some help please!





Thanks for looking and as always comments are always appreciated. PC skip20 is back!

....and remember everybody, Q-Pon ftw!
 
I love Will Barton :D Hope he breaks out this year with no Mo.

And those Quincy additions are huge! Awesome work :)

Here's my Will Barton tribute:
 
Nice range of stuff there mate! will Barton was in just about everything I opened in the 12-13 products... He stalked me I swear!

The Q-Pon stuff is neat, love the tag man!
 
Hopefully Barton gets more minutes this season...showed what he could do Game 4 last season Vs the Spurs!

Can't go wrong with logoman :)
 
haha lovin the commentator for each of your cards mate very entertaining! :lol: Very nice selection to the collection :thumbsup:

Thanks mate, every single Q-Pon card just adds that little bit more awesomeness to the PC!

Awesome Pondexter additions mate been waiting for a nice mailday!
Good stuff getting all the letterman, they'll look sweet!
Nice TT quad patch too

Only ever seen two of those quad patches come up before and this one had a great Q-Pon patch so had to grab it when I had the chance. Completed nameplate mailday coming up very soon!

I love Will Barton :D Hope he breaks out this year with no Mo.
And those Quincy additions are huge! Awesome work :)

Every mailday you bust out another Leaf inscription auto! How many of those do you have?! I just love the way Barton goes full throttle all the time - that;s the way the game should be played!

Awesome Q-pons mate, glad to see that PC's still going strong!

Still a few nice choice additions, not quite up to a certain collector's Aminu PC standard but it's getting there. He hasn't had much released lately which is good for me!

PC galore!! Always loved the by the letter sets

Still have a few nice Mashes to scan up and then a couple of absolute pearlers on their way from overseas.

Nice range of stuff there mate! will Barton was in just about everything I opened in the 12-13 products... He stalked me I swear!

Won't lie, WilBar has been signing a lot of stuff! They're all Sp memorabilia but there's something special about the logotag!

Hopefully Barton gets more minutes this season...showed what he could do Game 4 last season Vs the Spurs!
Can't go wrong with logoman :)

Yep, he stepped up in the playoffs which is always a good sign, might get some more PT as a backup SF or SG if Dorrell Wright falters, Blake doesn't get as many mins as expected or edges MCCollum in the playing rotation. ...and yes, can't lose with a logoman!

Nice mailday congrats :thumbsup: looking forward to see the complete name ;)

The last card is on its way, overpaid, but just want to see it finished! Based on your sig I can see you've achieved something similar but much more impressive!

tag is sweet! nice revival on the pc!

Quincy Pondexter is the man! I was a bit miffed because the Black 1/1 Certified RPA sold at auction for well under the offer i made and then I missed out on the Green Certified RPA /5 which sold for well under what i was willing to pay too.

Love that you have two of those logotags!! Awesome mailday Skip!

I almost had three of the five logotags but got outbid on one.... :cautious:
 
Nice Barton's mate but they are some sweet sweet Q-Pons! Love the patches that the Hornets cards produce...some of the best colours I reckon! That quad patch looks very familiar :cool:
Great looking tag too mate...great mailday :thumbsup:

Yep, that quad patch of yours was probably the hardest of the SP patches to track down. Unfortunately he's now on the Grizz so hoping for a claw patch one day!
 
Great Q-Pon pickups and commentary as always. Makes me want to grab some Elite Series :D

Elite is under-rated - those acetate rookie autos are the bomb! Q-Pon si the man - don't be forgetting that!

Sweet pick-ups mate love the TAG, good to see you back!!

Cheers Brett - been a while between big PC pickups. Pondexter hasn't been in a lot of the new releases though, so it's good for my hip pocket too!
