I have ALMOST officially finished with the hobby. I wanted to get a few particular cards, and then be done and dusted. Unfortunately, this paypal scam that is going on has postponed one of my potential purchases, so this isn't quite my last mailday ever, but probably the penultimate one. You have no idea how much I despise the state of the hobby nowadays.

So instead, it's time to show off my new goodies, and my Steven Adams collection. Apologies for the terrible photos.

Firstly, new Flawless. I have a bunch of patches from last year and wanted to grab a few from this year, but they aren't as good, so I just got these two:



I also wanted to see what all the fuss was about these super thick Sole of the Game cards..





Now to the Adams'
My Adams collection will consist of no sticker autos. And no event worn jersey or patch cards without an auto.

So we've got your basic Gold Standard RC


Next Day auto


Christmas Day patch


(to go with my Christmas Day game worn jersey)

I don't have a card to match this but it's his Rookie Challenge game worn jersey and shorts






And now the fun stuff...

Pairs:

NT International silver and gold


NT Kobe's All Rookie silver and gold


NT RPAs silver and gold


Silhouette standard and prime







Pairs were fun. How about some nice shiny stuff...

LOGOMAN













"Didn't he say best of the old? Surely he wasn't talking about Tim Duncan..."


Quite correct.





I have the best of the old.








Something I've always wanted.







An absolutely legendary card.









Of a basketball pioneer.









Gotta be well centered.









And is.











Mmmm mmmm.












1948, that's a LONG time ago...















"Damn!"

I know Wilt, I know...


The corners are a little rounded but the centering is great, and that's what matters most to me. A truly impressive card to hold, still can't believe I own one.[/URL]
 
Wow...... the Adams Logoman and flawless had me on the ropes but then you show the Mikan and the Wilt = respect!
 
The 1/1 of Adams are quitte impressive, love them all, congrats!

Hiatus in my collection, but I like that Paul George too (did not bid on the other version yesterday).

Best

Dang - wouldn;t be many more Mikan RCs in better condition than that! Condition is everything with those older cards so I imagine that Mikan cost a pretty penny indeed!
 
Sad to here your leaving the hobby mate, but did you finish with a good mailday or what!
 
Thanks guys. The Wilt has been around for a while, just hanging out by himself. Now he's got George to keep him company for the next 50 or so years...
 
fricken awesome!! is that the logoman that was on fb that i tagged you in? i hope you're not paying overs...he looks like George Mueller out of The Boardwalk Empire
 
Amazing collection ! truly impressive Adams cards =D>=D>, remember i would like to add all of thoses 1/1's to my PC =). As for the Wilk and Mikan are :woot::thumbsup:.
