The wait is over.........

[buyingstuffformikelee]

Well, the wait is over guys and gals.
Since joining this wonderful site, I have had countless, countless, countless number of people asking to see my collection day in and day out. Especially, in regards to the Exquisite's that I have collected.

Well, that day has come.

I have finally finished this collecting goal I have been working secretly on and have managed to put the finishing touches onto the site. So that you can all see it and hopefully enjoy.

For those that don't know already, I am a sucker for auto'ed game used cards . Not to mention, my great love of chasing "great looking" sets/themes. In this case, my theme chase, was to get "Every Single Player to Ever make the Exquisite Auto Patch Set".

I have been waiting around for the "actual" final piece to arrive, but at the rate UD do their redemptions, I ain't waiting around any longer, especially if it doesn't get produced.

So, without further ado, my collecting goal has come to a close.




Every single Player to make the Exquisite Auto Patch set Site



Hope you all enjoy,

Mike.

That is quite amazing ... just make sure your contents insurance on your house is pretty good Kudos, man ... that must have taken some serious patience.

AndrewG23 - Thanks for the nice comments.
Yes, the very last card, is the redemption I have been waiting on. It's been well over half a year now, so I ain't holding my breath on it.
I'm not fussed if it never arrives, as it's not the first time UD have let me down on a set chase. It happened to me with my Auto Focus chase as well :-(

scottsophie - Thanks bud
I never really went for your typical "get the most colours in your patch" type thing. Lack of money :-D Ha ha ha ha
But seriously, I someone found myself liking parts of letters in my patches for some reason. Maybe it was the Mcgrady that did it for me ;-)

hsv006 - Thanks
Yes, many hours, many convinceing international buyers to ship to me, many off market trades etc etc I guess this is how I met many of the wonderful people around the world that I have.
People would keep an eye out for me on cards that I needed etc etc Without all the help, and the wonderful world of the internet, there would be no way I would have completed what I did.

bas - Thanks bud, glad you like.
The MJ was the last card I picked up for the 04-05 set. People don't really like shipping that card oversea's.....

ace e - Thanks bud, glad you like

Thanks for the nice comments

Yes, patience is a big key in chasing sets/themes.

It also helps, that people look out for you, and alert you to where abouts of cards. Without the help of many, many people, many of the cards would have come and gone without me ever seeing them, or even having a "chance" of obtaining them.

 

[geelongfan]

absolutely phenomenal!!!

not much more to say!

 

[jimboiitmac]

[Moses]

Amazing!!! There are so many sick patches in there I can't pick a favourite but I do love the Bill Russell.

 

[Gordon7]

Great job

geelongfan - Thanks

jimboiitmac - Thanks man, it certainly was well worth it

vinceaww - Thanks for the nice comments bud

nandalinnaung - Thanks man
Out of all the years, I still like the 04-05 set the best.

vladlevinsky - Yes, I do too like the Russell the best. The fabric is just so full and puff's right out of the card. Plus, it's one of the rarer 3 colours swatches you can get.

Gordon7 - Thanks
:-D Ha ha ha Faaaaaarrrrr from it.
If I were to work and save up for cards, I would only own 20% of what I do, and most certainly, would not be chasing exquisite sets or themes.
80% of the cards you see here, and from hard earned "investments" on NBA games over the 2 years. The big cards, I still remember the key games that got me each card.
Also, money gets you so far. You need many, many people around the world to help you do something like this. Especially in a place down here, where so many people will not ship to OZ. I have been greatful for all the help that individuals have given all around the world in helping me acheive this wonderful goal.

tony - Thanks mate, glad you like

wall3ace - Thanks bud
