Classic - Old School - HOF: notice a trend here? Mailday...

Busted a box of 10-11 Classics, 09 10 Hall of Fame and some old school cards I managed to pick o/s...

My first break of 10-11 Classics and I think I got a hot box! 4 autos and two 'relics'

Karl Malone Membership GU /499



Tim Hardaway Membership Patch /49 - really bright Miami orange and red!



Orton, DoJo and Aminu autos /699









Niiiiiice hit with Demarcus Cousins /349





Up second the HOF set chases - doubled up on the Scottie Pippen Famed Fabrics in the box break but needed all three autos for the set chase.

Pippen Famed Fabrics /599



Famed Signatures

Harry Gallatin /699



Hal Greer /499



George Gervin /398



Managed to pick these two up for the Dream Team GU chase for a good price....about halfway there.

Scottie Pippen /875



John Stockton /500



*Drumroll please*

.....and now bringing back the 'old school'!

World B Free (changed his name from Lloyd because he was considered to be on the 'All World' team)

79 and 81 Topps



Jerry Sloan (let's face it - the guy is a coaching legend and Mr Utah Jazz) He was also an all-star player with the Bulls and former DPOY

73, 74 & 75 Topps



Few random players

81 Topps Super Action of Julius Erving and Cedric Maxwell
79 Topps Bob McAdoo
78 Topps Walt Frazier



Artis Gilmore - I'm sure we've all heard of the A-Train by now on OCT! Brad - if you need any they are yours. Pretty ordinary centering though....

78, 79 and 81 Topps



Lou Hudson mini-tribute. Averaged over 20ppg over 13 seasons with a FG% of 49%. 6 time all-star, all rookie team, all nba second team and nowhere near getting a call from the Hall.... Oh, and was 2003 Humanitarian of the Year as voted by the XNBA.

73, 74, 75 and 79 Topps


76 Topps - not only a tallboy but a very, very wideboy! This is like the King of cards because no toploader, penny sleeve, one touch or any other ultra pro product can contain it!



Almost forgot about this - redeemed it in February and finally got it in late September after requesting replacements over 3 months ago! Jalen Rose Boxtopper auto /75





Now one of the favourite cards I've stumbled across in quite some time....


3 x all star


All rookie team


2 x all defensive team member


2 x All ABA team member


1971 ABA Championship

Willie Wise!!!!!!!!!!!!! Almost as good as Rusty Kuntz......... and Dick Pole!



Thanks for looking guys, comments always appreciated!

Love the look of the old school cards, awesome showcase of classic old cards

I think I got one of those McAdoo cards recently. Good player but not really a good fit for the Celtics, but then in the complicated move that sent him to Detroit it brought in draft picks which the Celtics then used to work the deal for Parish and the McHale pick.

Who is that big Celtic in the Dr. J picture, is it Rick Robey? I recently got a Slam Dunk card of his, from the three-panel Topps cards.

Love the old school cards, we don't see these cards posted up very often but I love the Famed Signatures as well, If I wasn't wasting so much on my PC I would go for that set.

Thanks for sharing.

That D-Cuz is nice, a nice BIG auto. Absolutely love it!

Sometimes some of the original ideas are the best - classicly simple and defined what trading cards are all about.

Mac still averaged 20 & 7 in Beantown and the big Celtic is Robey - he was never a shot blocking threat so Dr J probably figured he could just jump over him.... Those three panel Topps RCs are iconic, let me know if you grab the Dr J / Magic / Bird RC!

I actually bought them with a view to have him sign them all but alas his signing fee was astronomical so they'll have to sit unautographed....

There's gonna be a few missing cards in that set chase (unredeemed, never produced) so I'm actually closer than I thought - or does that mean I further away than I thought? Confused....

Looks like we've unearthed a Trekky! Gotta say Captain Kirk never sprang to mind mate - think you're on your own there!

How much was A-Train's signing fee Skip? And what other former NBA stars were there for signings?

sweet mix of old school matey and that hardaway jersey is sweet

I think from memory A-Train was $70 per auto which included an inscription. There weren't too many other NBA players, only Calvin Murphy and Orlando Woolridge. Met them too and had a quick chat, pic with and got them to sign a Nike basketball shirt I had - all top blokes. Especially Orlando Woolridge....spoke to him for about 20 minutes!

I seem to have Hardaway mojo! There is worse mojo to have I suppose so definitely not complaining! I remember him more with the Heat than with the Warriors so for me that patch is great....just wish there was more black than white....

Very nice old school mailday man!
