NEXT UP: Nate Archibald & Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for the 50 Greatest GU

[Basketball]

Two new additions to the NBA 50 Greatest GU collection.
First off is Nate "Tiny" Archibald. Before this card I had his Exquisite Limited Logos which contains a piece of patch and also features a sweet looking autograph, but i'm focused on only doing a GU collection without autos on them. Since I have some players with GU/auto combo I think I will have a little mini PC of duals, but as for my GU collection i'm only looking to do strickly game used with no auto.
So as an upgrade to the GU collection here is this new addition!
Exquisite: Extra Exquisite #'d to 15

This card almost contains a full letter, which appears to be the "D" in ArchibalD

Next up is a big one! I am super exicted about this one
This is a patch of the man himself Mr. "Skyhook"
What I love about this card besides being a 1/1 is that it's the first letter "J" and sure his name is "Abdul" Jabbar, but I think more people refer to him as Jabbar.... So I love it all that much more. Also, it has a little tiny bit of the dash ( - ) to the left side of the patch which I think is pretty cool. No other company came out with a full letter card for Jabbar....
Here is my new baby for the collection.

Thanks for looking guys, your comments are always welcomed and appreciated!

Very nice, I don't like Famous Fabrics because there are no player pics and I saw a Vinny Testaverde (NFL) that they spelled Vinnie Testaverde, but that J is absolutely awesome!

Thanks! At first I wasn't sure if I liked this set or not, and for the same reason, but then I got it in the mail Very nice looking cards in person! I think as this product comes out year after year, then it will grow on people, like all the other Press Pass and companies like that.

Love that Archibald Exquisite
I agree, would look a lot better with the player pic or an auto on there

Thanks! I've missed out on about 5 or 6 of these Archibald's until I got this one, so happy to finally land one. The Jabbar does have a picture of "a" player lol you can see the player on the card you just gotta look closely hahahaha

Thanks man really appreciate that. Yeah I really love this card, I think Exquisite did a really good job with these extra exquisites, especially with old school players. The Kareem was a must if I ever wanted to get a full letter cause this is the only one I think, I can't remember UD or Topps making a letter card for him, could be wrong though.
