These last few months I've been feeling pretty good about going cold turkey from my box breaks and have gotten my cardboard fix by picking up singles instead (as any sane collector well should)!

So after pulling a handful of these cards from last years immaculate breaks I knew that I had to have more :D
This is - in my humble opinion - one of Panini's most beautifully crafted & deviously implemented chase sets of recent years.

However, closer scrutiny of the checklist revealed the terrifying reality - within the 100 card veteran set exists:

- 76 cards #'d to 25 and under

- 42 cards #'d to 10 and under

- 18 cards #'d to 5 and under

and

- Yikes!- 5 cards #'d to 1

Here's my progress: after buying up a frenzy I'm sitting at 84%... which may realistically be about as far as I can go, as finishing the set would be an almost certain impossibility.

From high to low

Complete with custom (& slightly dodgy) home made housing!

Thanks for the look and please share your own cards from this set (rookies too)! Compared to the puzzle-like logo & number jumbos, *aesthetically* each one of these cards can stand alone as a thing of rare beauty... but that's just my own biased view, of course :D
 
WOW!:woot: 84% that is so impressive! Though I do vaguely remember how much you thought you had spent on boxes which is cause for a:eek:! Beautiful set massive accomplishment getting this far and I so hope you can complete it as it will super amazing!!! Good luck!

Thanks mate! Spent nowhere near what I'd usually on boxes since I quit busting... And damn it feels good!

Love the Sean Elliot and CP3.

What big ones are you missing mate!"?

Yeah two of my favs there! Missing the usual /1, /2 & /3's and suprisingly high #'s like Wilt & DH12 (the former is out of my budget)...
 
man alive!!!!!!

thats incredible. this will one of the best patch sets ever i reckon.
well done on chasing down so many.

picked up a couple of cheap ones myself too. and a huge PC one incoming :eek:

looks like you might need the jenkins too. ;)
 
...and I bet you don't even miss breaking boxes now! Love the Immaculate home made case too! :thumbsup:
 
Wow some really crazy great cards in there, Lebron /6, Wade /3, Melo /7, Mikan /9 and CP3 /3 with a gorgeous patch and already 2 of the 1/1's. Thats a sweet looking set.
I only have one: Kanter rc numbers variation auto/patch /100 with the same acetate finish and i can say you are absolutely right its one of Panini's sweetest designed card ever!
