Merry Christmas and all that jazz - think my present to self is still in the US postal system somewhere.
First up are some freebies from Can't Fly and Siladee....
The Freebies
Upper Deck Rising Stars #01314 /5000
Mashburn, Kidd and some other scrubs called Penny, C-Web, Big Dog and Nick the Quick.... Thank's again Dave!
Got this from Siladee - which means I now have 3 of these Membership patches. Contemplateing set chase..... I know some of these are really low numbered so might not get going just yet....
David West #35/49 - another great Hornets patch!
Just the one on card auto....
Tim Hardaway Golden Age #40/99 - sweet on card auto!
The Lettermen
Thus begins the long Pondexter chase......it all starts with a TO - lol Both /299 with nice clear autos.
My First Letterman Completion!
I received the Panini Threads 'C' /630 for Demarre Carroll....
Which goes with a couple of Ls...
...and 'ARRO'
Which gives me CARROLL! First Letterman chase completion - great feeling!
Hilton Armstrong SP Authentic By The Numbers - never expected to have so many in my collection but I just seem to keep finding them!
SP Authentic - By The Numbers - Rookie Year 2006-07 - all numbered /50
I already had the '20'......
...then I managed to pick up the '0', '0' and '6' which means I just need the '7' for the completion!
Which goes well with these pickups too......
Pickup #1

SP Authentic - By The Numbers - Career Points 176 - all numbered /75

Okay - that's it for now - nothing too crash hot - but pretty pleased with the Armstrong sets and Carroll completion!
As always, thanks for looking and comments are always appreciated - good, bad or otherwise!
Cheers, not a big name - but I did like Carroll when he was a Mizzou Tiger with that frantic helter skelter pressing, trapping D! Just pleased to have finally chased one down!
Not much top flight stuff in there for you G, but yeah, not a big fan of the trade - similar game to Sam Young and probably stuck behind him in the rotation - and Xavier Henry and Tony Allen!
...at least he strutted his stuff in summer league! Go the Q-Pon!
I actually remember being impressed by Carroll in college - led the Mizzou trap, crashed the boards and hustled on offense too - had so much energy and got around the court like a bumblebee!
