Here's part 2. Below is the last 4 of these:
1x 12-13 Past and Present
1x 10-11 Classics
1x 14-15 Totally Certified
1x 12-13 Innovation
1x 13-14 Fleer Retro
1x 14-15 Court Kings
1x 00-01 Topps Finest
1x 11-12 Gold Standard
The way those first 4 boxes went I almost felt like an MJ auto from the Fleer Retro was likely, but it wasn't meant to be. A few nice cards nonetheless:
Grant Hill auto
I love 14-15 Court Kings. There are a handful of really nice sets here, and lots of nice on-card autos. This particular box was not exciting, in fact, probably the low-point of the break. At least I got a ruby portrait that I didn't already have:
2000-01 Topps finest was another first for me. Had no idea what to expect. It was great fun. All the cards were stuck together and the jersey relic was indeed a relic (see photo below). The Kukoc card is a refractor and the Kobe insert is cool. There were also 2 numbered rookie cards (to /1599) that I didn't scan (Joel Przybilla and someone else I've already forgotten).
The Hakeem base refractor is to /100. I really like the John Starks auto! Such an iconic moment and it's nice to have an on-card auto of it.
Gold Standard had 11 cards, which I think is one more than normal. Carmelo patch card was slightly damaged. There were also 2 redemptions. 1 for an Evan Fournier metal card and one for a rookie auto. A good rookie. A card I'm unlikely to ever see?! Jimmy Butler.
Thanks for looking.
