Hi Guys,

Sorry about the scan Quality.

As many may know I collect Exquisites, primarily the RC Cards and also Limited Logos. Well this one I have been waiting to acquire for a while so when it came up I had to have it.....even though it is in extremely poor condition.

Not sure how many people know the story, but in the 2005-06 year of Exquisite, quite a few of their cards went missing in the process of trying to acquire autos. One was the Paul Pierces.....some resurfaced but not all.

Others that went missing and have not resurfaced included cards by Rashard McCants and Saurunas Jasikevicius.....so that means of the Exquisite RCs for these guys, the only ones available were the Rainbow Parallels numbered out of 25 and the Black Parallel numbered 1/1. So not many at all.

Unfortunately I was not savy enough back then to pick up the rainbows of those 2 guys, so in the end I ended having 2 holes in my RC set for that year.

Last year a McCants Rainbow came up for sale, but just as quickly disappeared - probably got a very good offer (the seller probably did not know how much it would really go for in an auction maybe).

So now when a Jasikevicius came up, I had to have it. It is in very poor condition with a big crease through it.......what did they do to the card????? But I still had to have it so..........here it is.....

Mr Exquisite! Learn something new everyday on this site! Some cheeky bugger is probably sitting on a motherload of those RCs!
 
Great history lesson Ersk.

Shame about the condition of the card, but when they are that rare, beggars can't be choosers. Good luck with the McCants hunt.
 
good background for people who didnt know the story....always puzzled me how they could go missing with zero chance of ever being able to be sold on the open market...only 1 to go now mate!
 
What an interesting story :) Great to see you finally get the Jasikevicius and hopefully you can find the next one in superb condition :D congrats and good luck
