Fab Five Mailday

FabFiveFan · Mar 9, 2012

It's complete! I now have an on-card auto of each of Michigan's Fab Five, having received my Jimmy King and Ray Jackson auto's today courtesy of boophill (thanks again mate, I doubt they would have been sitting anywhere near the top of your trade pile, so cheers for looking).
Here's pic, and then a question...

FabFiveFan · Mar 9, 2012

And so my question is, to now "display" these autos together I will be using a 6-card screw down, and my question is who goes in space #6? My two main options are either a Glen Rice Ultimate Auto, where he is in his Michigan uniform. Rice won a National Championship with Wolverines prior to the Fab Five starting at Michigan. OR...do I go with Jamal Crawford, an active NBA player, also a Michigan product, but no-where near the production of Rice. Thoughts?

What about making a Team Logo Card?? That might be pretty sweet?

I can't say I have seen a 6 card screw down before! Any pics of that handy?

Nice pickups though Richard!

Nice work getting all 5, what about a card of the coach? did they even make them?

I just meant making your own card with a Michigan 91 logo and fab five on it somewhere. Just a thought?

FabFiveFan · Mar 9, 2012

Hey AussieLaker, I like that idea. Hmmm Steve Fisher auto's...do you like my chances?

Harsh, but fair. But dont sleep on the Pacers mate, I would be expecting to still be checking playoff box scores for my team after yours is done and dusted for another year. Just remember, we both went out in the same round last year

Here is pic of 6 card screwdown. Currently displaying old school Jalen Rose, but not for long.

So what are you saying??? You want me to come round and help make the card when we are both victims of the first round?

But seriously, have a chat with Matt26. Maybe he can offer some ideas. He has made some pretty sweet looking AFL cards himself

That is cool! Where did you get it from? and will it only take standard 20pt cards?

It is about as old as the cards that is it currently holding, and if memory serves me, it was from Al's Card Shop when it was in Fremantle, so if they are no longer available, it doesn't surprise me one bit. And yeah, it only holds 20pt cards, which is fine for the planned purpose, but not so much if I make my own (damn, I was so looking forward to getting all arty).

Congrats on teh fab five completion - agree that you need a team logo in the 6th spot or a coach card - just print something off of photobucket on decent grade paper.

...or get an Eric Riley auto - the other guy who cracked the NBA and was on the same roster when the whole fab five was together.

The 6 card screw down looks awesome. Will look great with the 5 autos and I def think you need to put rice in there over crawford
