Not withstanding 2 cards which are yet to arrive in hand which I will leave for mail day threads, PC pickups for the Jared Cunningham PC have topped my acquisitions, especially from Preferred.

First off 2/3 of the Panini's Choice Rainbow.

Tied next would be the Silhouette and Royale Crown gold, both from Preferred.

Then to top it off, my first ever redemption, the Elite Series.

And to top it off, 3 cards that are gone to other homes, but not forgotten. 2 gold's from different group breaks and my first ever 3 colour patch.

Some amazing cards are being shown here.

My budget was not so big for PC cards this year but I did score a couple of beauties.

One reason that I never completed my Dream Team 1 auto set was because of this guy. When I saw this one I could not pass it up for what I thought was a very fair price :) It was also the only one with an actual pic of the great man on the actual card too :thumbsup:

Although I did well not spending much on my own collection in 2013. Like most people do, I kept an eye out for a few particular cards



One card that I wanted to get back in the PC was a Kobe Patch.



When this one popped up I knew it was perfect.



2 True Legends of the game, clutch players and proven champions



Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan

wow both beautiful cards!
 
I really wanted a VC in a Raptors jersey, I've been up and down on chasing this set for a while, it's hard because they're so rare, nearly given up a few times. But this is a sweet one.

Some very nice cards in the thread so far!

And was very happy to get in this MJ to finally complete my set after selling off the original one due to the bad auto

Ahhhh that beauty, I still miss it.

2013 for me was definitely more selling than buying. Can't show the great memories I picked up on our Europe trip, but I did get these things I'm quite pleased with -
