No I made it like that, there something I didn't want to show, so I added a black strip in photoshop and render it in the video to cover it, cheers

$1100 box?

$1100 box?

Nah mate, didn't pay that much lol, try dividing it by 2 and thats pretty close, Some companies are crazy charging what they are for this.

I had alot of fun, its nice breaking old school and its good to know its got some valve even tho this product isn't a game used or auto product.

The fact that I busted 2 camby cards, the number 2 pick in the 1996 NBA draft, there a very good chance scoring 2 kobe cards in one box and the odds of getting a Kobe RC is 1 out of 2 boxes, I might try again since it such a limited run and attractive going after a fresh pack card and the most expensive box of the 1990s like the 1986/87 Fleer Basketball or the 2003/04 Exquisite Basketball, each era has their hidden gems.

Nah his cool, I ask the seller and he told me if I win the bid, his happy to use any company to send the item, UPS was a guide for him, I think alot of American don't relies that UPS charge a fortune when sending internationally, which is silly, Its like if they charge you big prices, why even deal internationally, if they charge alittle bit more than USPS I think every1 would be happy, but they must have heavy charges and they must get hit by them and the price reflects on it.
