Despite the title don't get your hopes up - just some low and mid end stuff which was waiting for me to backscan. Nothing overly special but it's a good way for me to keep the hobby fresh and interesting by looking at some new products... Let me know if you're interested in anything always happy to help out a set chase, PC or team collectors when I can. Kudos to those who I've dealt with in respect of these cards - champions every one of you!
The Rookies
Hornets up first - first rights to la iph!
Brian Roberts Brilliant Beginnings - the kid can shoot!
Lance Thomas /199 - Duke kid.....
Cedric Simmons HP Patch auto /150 - actually says Oklahoma City Hornets on the back with no mention of New Orleans!
The Select Base Rookie Autos
Miles Plumlee /399 - won't lie, I think this Duke kid was drafted about 30 positions too early...
Kyle O'Quinn /449 - second round sleeper, will turn it up a notch next year. Ate up Ayon's minutes.
Malcolm Lee /399 - dude can finish!
Certified Rookie Roll Call Autos
Markieff Morris - big dude with 3pt range and low post moves, respect!
Kyle Singler /279 - second round steal for the Pistons and a Macaulay Culkin look a like (google it - it's actually quite uncanny!)
Jenkins, John Jenkins
One of the purest shooters in recent rookie crops, an light it up if he gets the minutes....
Leaf Ultimate on-card
Select Prizm /199 (mostly on sticker - heh heh)
The Swede
Teammates with Jenkins and Festus Ezeli at Vanderbilt... Born in Sweden and went to high school in New Mexico - an interesting childhood! Defensive stud just needs to find an offensive niche....
The 'Other Beard' in Houston - Royce White
This beard probably has better playmaking instincts than the other one - this PF averaged 5apg in college, had a FG% better than his FT% - a real oddity. Oh, and his beard is to honor John Lennon.......a crazy cat for sure!
Royce White /299
Prizm auto /199
Preferred /99 - my first Panini's Choice Award! ...and here I am without a speech to read!
Couple of Oddballs
Jermaine Taylor RPM #1/5 - ebay 1/1 baby!
Dee Brown Notable Notations /50
Killer nickname - "One Man Fastbreak"
The Aussies
The Honorary Aussie - if Kyrie wont start for us hopefully this kid will one day!
Jonny Flynn Certified 4 colour patch /25
Jonny Flynn NT - Almost a Triple Patch auto /49
Chris 'Pigeon Toed' Anstey - not my favourite Aussie big man but he still represented! One of my favourite auto sets too - gotta love the embossing on those old school Autographics!
Andrew Bogut /75 - my first Bogey auto! On acetate and rookie year where the Aussie went #1!
M.V.Steve
Only a base card but a nice one at that!
Exquisite /225
Hoopla GU
.....#d 2/5!
..and finally a bit of gold - two colour piping patch /25
Like I said at the start - nothing huge, but always good to look at some new stuff. The pile of cards to be scanned grows smaller which is always good! I'll scan up some nicer goodies next time!
As always, thanks for looking and any comments much appreciated.
