I know I have been quite the Mailday Thread Hog of late, but I needed to put these in a seperate thread for a reason.... or 2.
1 - Both of these items were gifts from my Wife.
2 - They are some of the best things I have received ever!
First up, a Sweet PC card which I got for Christmas. Dropped a hint or 2, then was told to organise it myself and put it under the tree
Also, thanks to Brad (bjs127) for the deal
David Robinson Gold Standard Golden Age 14K Gold 4/5
Next is my personal favourite PC item.... only one person on here knows about this atm and thanks to him (nino_013) for helping me get some info on this before I got it.
I have always wanted one of these, so I made it my Birthday present and was only able to see it this morning when my kids gave it to me.
10/11 Revolution 30 Tony Parker AUTHENTIC Home Jersey
These things are incredibly lightweight and the material if smooth on all the stichings as well. Sweet looking jersey.
Next step is to send it off through Beckett to get it signed. I haven't done this before but there is some information in one of my Beckett's so I will look into it.
Oh BTW, there is one more thing about this jersey that I loved!! They only release so many of the Authentic jerseys each season. Of the 10/11 season jerseys, there are only 50 of the Tony Parkers made. And mine is numbered.....
Wooohoooo!
A Jersey numbered Tony Parker Authentic Jersey..... It doesn't get any better than that!!!
...why didn't you get a Blair jersey? ;-) So you're sending it into Beckett to get it signed? How does that work? Oh yeh, Happy birthday and kudos to the wife and kids for getting into the game!
Got it from a fella in Brooklyn NY who said he 'has strong ties to the NBA, but is not a fan'. I have since asked him if he can get others for another OCT member. We'll see how it goes. I wouldn't hesitate to get more from this guy coz mine is immaculate, and was priced well under the NBA store price.

Was going to get a Blair jersey, but when I say the 'Jersey # Jersey ' I couldn't resist. Seeing I am a collector of TP's Jersey # cards, I thought this would be an awesome addition.
I heard a rumour a long time ago that you could send items off through Beckett to get autographed and authenticated, but have since found out they don't do it
Was devastated yesterday and at a little bit of a loss as to how to get it signed. Then, I sent an email to 3 different points of contact for him. His management company and some team reps.
I received a reply this morning from his agent in San Antonio who is currently on his way to Australia to watch the Australian Open - as he also manages Jo-Wilfried Tsonga - and he said that he a very good contact for Tony and said that I can send it to his office and he will have him sign it and send it back!!!!
Awesome hey? I am planning to get a huge scribble on the front of it, under the number. And will also request a photo of him signing it.
The jersey was game worn ? ... If so, then dayummm man. That's amazing being jersey numbered to TP's #. Beats the hell outta any Tony Parker card ! ... Simply awesome. I love It.
