I know a guy who is totally obsessed with Crusades. He's already busted about 3 cases of it in the last 2 months and a few weeks ago (on the Wednesday night) told me he was expecting yet another case in before the end of the week to bust over the weekend.
My comment to him? "Let me know what you want when the 1/1 Black Crusade Faried comes out of it"
Well, behold....
Now, if only I could locate the pesky Green #/5 to finish the rainbow! (Has never surfaced)
This one you might have seen me preview in the PC Battle second round, one of Faried's hardest rookie year cards to find. This was the first I've ever seen and did not let it get away!
It came from China and almost went pear shaped when the guy failed to put my address on correctly first time, and after weeks of waiting it returned to him - to later be sent out again. Numbered #1/5
A few smaller Farieds... TC Purple & the Spectra Red #/25 from Parra.
Faried stuff has mostly dried up. As of right now - I have 499 Faried, with numbers 500-506 still incoming. They'll be fairly epic thanks to a few fantastic members of this site!
Since I still need my cardboard itch scratched, I decided to revive my Lakers PC, predominantly chasing the Kobe/Gasol championship players and some of the retired ring winners, who don't cost a fortune!
Kurt Rambis Select Die-Cut auto
Thanks to a non paying bidder I was able to get the Crown Royale pair of Mychal Thompson very cheaply. I know have 6/8 of the veteran Lakers in the emerald #/5 from this set - needing only Steve Nash (missed one) and Byron Scott (yet to surface). The gold I think looks stunning against the purple background - thus matching the uniform colours
I'm looking for the Kobe & Baylor to match this Bynum from 13-14 Court Kings. Holla at me if you have one thats available! Such a shame how far Andrew fell from grace.
12-13 NT NBA Gear Prime #/25 Pau Gasol - sweet, sweet patches and only one off being jersey numbered! Wouldn't mind adding the tag version to this eventually!
2010-11 Timeless Treasures Home & Road Prime Autographs #/5 Pau Gasol - my favorite Pau to date!
And finally... I acquired a decent little Darius Morris PC, I know he's barely staying in the league but there was some very rare / low numbered stuff in there so I couldn't really resist! I picked up the RRC Blue to finish the rainbow (minus the black) and the Brilliance was a freebie from a member on fb.
I know I did this mailday in reverse to how I usually lay it out, but the story needed to be told first up I think! Thanks for looking as always - my next mailday should be about 2 weeks away if Aus Post don't delay things
