- - The collection Is now 23 cards. 14 of those are worth money.

* First off, I gotta give shout outs to Arthy23 and Kenny3011 ... Both those guys helped me out with getting the Grant Hill card. If It was put on Ebay, I'm about 500% sure that I would not of gotten It. Most Hill collectors have much deeper pockets than I do, and are willing to throw buckets of money blindly for his nice cards.
* There are 4 cards In the Grant Hill Silver Set ... 2 cards In the Gold Set. I have seen 1 other from the Silver set sell, same size tag as the one I have. Sold for $315. The 1 card from the Gold set I saw, sold for $512.50 (Phoenix Suns Logo). Anyone know the where abouts to the others ? PLEASE let me know ! :thumbsup:
* ( At first I really wasn't feeling that there were 2 size tags out of the 4 cards from the Silver set ... But I drank a Sprite, got my mind right, knew that card was outta sight, and HAD to have It ! ).

* Timeless Treasures. 2010/11. # 4 out of 4 made.



* The Dirk card was just luck. Came across It and grabbed It quickly before anyone else could. I've always been a fan of his and gave the guy props, but really became a big fan from watching him during these Playoffs / Finals. He was pretty amazing. Gotta respect him for how he handled himself ... putting up with that Heat team would be rough ! Lebron, Wade and those guys obviously drinking too much Sierra Mist !
* There are 5 cards In the Nowitzki Silver Set ... 1 card In the Gold Set. I have seen 2 others from the Silver set sell. 1 for $40, the other for $125. (Both cards were the "NBA Game Worn. 2009-10 Season" ... The tag was cut In half between the two cards). The 1 card from the Gold set I saw, sold for $145 (Mavericks Logo). Sold before the Playoffs, so whoever got It was one happy collector. This Is the first time I have ever seen Dirk's size tag. Had to have It for my collection !

You obviously haven't looked through my collection or you'd have seen a Dirk Size Tag... ;)

Well done on the pickups. Hill is having a big resurgence due to the new releases and Dirk is a champ!
 
Great pickups there Rob, I love reading your posts man. There's always some kind of story behind them that makes for a pleasant read at 9am :)

- Thanks man, I really appreciate that. I like to give some backround Info before the presentation ... And I usually think all of the typing will not even be read ! lol ... Glad I could make your 9am a little better ! :thumbsup:
 
Amazing additions mate, gotta be happy with those! Wasn't sure if you were gonna be able to get your hands on that Hill! :worthy:

- Thanks Matt ! ... I was truely a man on a mission ! Kenny and Arthy really hooked me up on It. If I didn't get that Hill In my collection, and It possibly went on Ebay ... Then I would of had zero chance to ever have It. There are some huge Hill collectors out there man. That have outbid me on soooooooooo many Hill cards. His 2010/11, #1/1 auto surfaced on Ebay last night. Was on there for about 25 minutes before It sold for $700. (sticker auto ... so I wasn't really Interested). ... I am very happy with these 2 additions. I held that Hill In my hand for like 20 minutes just In awe. I had to sit down and crack a Sprite open. lol ... Started a new job today, so I'll be gettin some funds very soon ... Man I hope somethin nice surfaces ! lol
 
Nice tags - glad to see the Hill went to a true collector. I think the German Shepherd has won himself a few admirers the wayhe handled himself in the finals. I seriously hope you drink Sprite because you like the taste of it and not because Grant Hill was once on the can! lol

Great cards, Nowitzki certainly had different hairstyles over the years, with big hair on that picture. There seem to be a lot of rookie cards of his around at the moment, winning the championship helped with that, and Dirk did look different back then.

- I always liked that about Dirk, him and Nash always grew out their hair, then would get a buzz cut. Nash usually kept his hair longer, Dirk would cut his short after awhile. Basically what I've done since I was like 13. Having one hair style your entire life has always seemed too boring for me ! So I gotta give Dirk props for that ! ... This picture has always been pretty funny though ...
