SET COMPLETE!! 96/97 Autographics :):)

[nenjabin]

Well guys and girls, I started this out not long after I joined here and as of yesterdays collecting of a registered parcel from the Post Office, the set is now complete

The whole bunch can be seen Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and highlights of the set are below for viewing too.

I have to do 2 BIG Thank yous.

1st, Jayzhou. He too is collecting the set and we quite often collaborated on what was on eBay not to mention he shared with me all the info he knows on this set, which is vast!

2nd, Linn (nandalinnaung). Unless I am dreadfully mistaken (there is 95 cards, give me a break!) Linn was the only member to GIVE me 1 of these cards. Chris Morris. Linn got it in a trade here, and I enquired about it, and he gave it too me I still owe you Linn!

Also thank you to stupidclerk for selling me the John Starks and EMBlock for doing me a great deal on 7 of the last 14 I required!


So here are the highlights. Some are obvious, cause they are stars, but others I'll explain

Ray Allen, Rookie!

Mugsy Bogues, Cause he's a champ

Clyde 'The Glide' Drexler

Kevin Garnett, Blue.

Very happy to acknowledge where credit is due

Included Mugsy cause I always liked the guy, personal fav as a kid and he's sort of a cult guy I guess. And Strickland, same again, always liked him as a player and was a personal fav as a kid

Good luck with the last couple you need! Want me to help search, let me know

 

[ace e]

huge congrats on the set and well done to the members that helped

 

[Pierce34]

great work mate!!! defenitely one of ozcards biggest achievements

 

[buyingstuffformikelee]

Man, being a set collector too, you make me proud.

Not only due to the age of the set, which makes it even harder to do, but they way you went about it.

Big, big congrats on that, what an accomplishment

 

[Matt26]

That's one beautiful set.....well done to all those who helped you get there!

 

[whereiswally78]

Simply awesome ... hey Ben, I'm curious .... how well do you think they'd grade (being an older card)??

 

[nandalinnaung]

Ben,

this is a massive achievement, congratulations to you... it's so nice to see such a big set is complete... you have done a great job getting it all done..

hope u get Tay/Redd dual., so we can enjoy another massive fest..

 

[The Truth]

That's Awesome! So great to see a completed insert set like that. Congrats mate!

 

[nenjabin]

Simply awesome ... hey Ben, I'm curious .... how well do you think they'd grade (being an older card)??

I think the graded Nash speaks volumes. It looks pretty darn good, yet it's an 8. And for interests sake, there have only been 8 Nash Rookie autographs (in other words these) graded ever! 2x9, 3x8.5 and 3x8. I'm tipping majority would be around that 8, or maybe a little lower, just cause of little bits around the edges and the like. But then I know nothing of surface grades!!

Thks for that.That's very nice of you to help.I'll pm you shortly.

My personal favourite will be the Grant Hill.I was so excited with that one when i was a kid.Next will be Nash,Pippen, Finley,Stackhouse and Ray Allen.
