Was hoping to get at least 3 major lots of mail in but so far have only received one - but there's still enough here to make some slower computers choke - so it's a pretty decent haul!
I'll start it out slow with some nice Dee Brown cards which capture what he was all about....
Love these Topps 1st Day Issues - but not so much the 'imposters' that followed with mere foil stamping!
Some Oscar....
Sports Legends /1000, Champions /500 and Champions Red /250
Some more Mash inserts and parallels (he doesn't have too many autos or patches available).
SPX /10,000 CLassics Wooden /19,930 Classics Green /9,900
...and yes, I do like my Topps Stadium Club, fax sigs and acetate cards! Beam Team ftw!
Creators Uncommon Refractor /1090, Showcase /125 and Masters Common Refractor
Some Kidd parallels...... I guess that thermal technology never really took off with sports cards huh?
Parallels /109 & /59 - how dare they compare him with Marcus Williams!!!!!!!!!!
The obligatory Game Used additions - few doubles in here which I picked up as part of a lot....
Jason Kidd...nothing too special!
Jamal - I'll just mash these altogether! - picked up a lot or two!
Floorin' it! I actually like the way they stamp the floor pieces...
Couple of doubles in here - Awesome Authentics /250
Jersey piece doesn't even sit in the card properly! Annoying!
Guess which one of these I like better? Hah hah - go the pinstripe!
Set Chase Progress
Famed Signatures - Lattin and Shed now give me all of the Texas Western sigs
David Lattin /890
Nevil Shed /899
Alex English /499
Dream Team Game Used - now only need Bird and Ewing. Checklist says there was Barkley and Laettner but I'm pretty sure they don't exist!
Clyde Drexler /650
Magic Johnson /750
Some of the nicer PC stuff.......
Q-Pon Certified auto jersey /585
Kidd Patch - bit of silver hidden from the scan which makes it 3 colours
The PC battle made me realise how few Mash patches I actually have and how hard they are to come by! So with that knowledge I went out and did something about it! Not the best patches in the world but they rare as hen's teeth!
Both are from 01 02 Fleer Exclusive
Time to get random!
Wally Szczerbiak Press Pass on card auto
Gerald Green Ultimate Signatures on card auto
Jayson WIlliams SOTT on card auto - if you haven't read his book 'Loose Balls' get a hold of it - entertaining read and a good insight into the NBA
Mark Eaton Topps Sigs /1029 - fear his beard! If you don't your shot is gonna end up in the fifth row!
Jay Williams SPA on card auto /1500 - he actually won the Oscar Robertson Trophy in 2002
Another dude to fear when driving the lane - who has also won the Oscar Robertson Trophy! It's also number 2/500 so sort of an ebay 1/1 based on draft position! :-P Oh, and more on card goodness!
Casspi Letterman /660
D-Will Classic Patch /25
D-Will Gold Stars Patch /50
Stevie Franchise Tag #49/50 - really interesting piece - meant to be a patch card but has a tag in it with some stitching up the top too! World's only tag patch! lol
Pint sized hero - Muggsy Bogues on card Autographics goodness. Just doesn't look right in the Raptors uni or number 14......
So picked this one up too - Hornets #1 - ahh, much better! On card Autographics ftw!
Patty Mills Rookie auto /699 - gotta fly the flag and represent!
Some more printing plates.....
The Raptor - So oddball just had to have it!
06 07 Fleer Ultra Yellow Printing Plate - Alexander Johnson
........but wait there's more!
06 07 Fleer Ultra Black Printing Plate - Alexander Johnson - if I complete this printing plate set I'll be stoked!
Oscar Robertson TTM / IP on card auto He does have a history of signing IP and TTM as 'Big O' and based on his other autos floating around I'm 99.9% sure it's legit. Definitely one for PSA grading / authenticity!
Epic sigs for a comparison - same loops, hitches and follow through....
Okay, that's it for now - couple more decent sized packages turning up soon so keep an eye out for them! Thanks for looking and comments always appreciated!
