Great mailday indeed Dreamy! Those gold autos look great in person if not all scratched up.
Just a Q though. Whats the ratio of your stuff with Hakeem in googles to not in goggles?? Is there a year it stops or pics from a year he got contacts I assume. Maybe its just me but I prefer the goggle ones LOL
love the refractors... especially topps chrome 40, they look so nice....
how come trilogy generation /50 isn't a patch, normally, i saw all /50 are patches..
but your one is in great condition, i saw many trilogy generations patches have really bad edges and corners.. this one is great.. nowadays it's nice to get very thick cards with excellent conditions...
And love the articles of arena.. why is it from boston garden? or is it any special game against raptors or rockets at boston garden in early 2000s?

Chad, Yeah not a scratch on this one which is a rare thing looks amazing in hand!!!
Hakeem wore googles for a season in 90-91 cause he got his eye socket busted by Bill Cartwright suffering a blowout fracture of the bones that surround the eyeball. Olajuwon underwent surgery in January and missed the Rockets' next 25 games, the longest idle stretch of his career. Missing the allstar weekend also.
I love the old goggle pics as well, looks way more retro

Linn, it's a patch but with trilogy being a such small patch area
you only get the centre of the patch not a edge joining another so it doesn't look as pretty, but I'll take card quality over patch quality anyday.
No link between the Garden and Hakeem. Topps must have brought a heap up when they tore it down and they just realsed a set with most teams superstars that had played on the old garden floor in this set as well as another year.
nice buzz, those gold #/10 autos are bloody hard to pick up.
