Hey guys,
First of all, Merry Christmas. I hope y'all had a great Chrissy. Me, Kita & my family spent the last 5 days at Port Macquarie, hired a resort house, almost next to the beaches. It was very relaxing and I really needed that break after working 7 day'ers for the last 4 years but anyway, all great things has to come to an end, so I'm off to work again tomorrow.
Alrighty, here is some new arrivals that waited for me patiently whilst I was away. I wasn't expecting any deliveries due to the holiday season but it is good to know the Australian Post is actually working hard during this busy times. Two thumbs up to them. No delay too, so three thumbs up to them, if possible.
1st up...
05-06 Topps First Row - Prime Time Players - Allen Iverson & Chris Paul - Dual Game Used Jersey & Warm-Up #140/140 - My very first card of this set. It's not too bad but it isn't my favourite one though. The serial # convinced me to finally capture one for the collection.
2ndly...
04-05 Upper Deck All Star Lineup - Allen Iverson - All Star Staples Gold Parallel #3/10 - I really like the design of this card. Who's with me? It's a beauty that costed me a pretty penny ($41US including delivery) for a normal, non-jersey or auto'd card due to strong competition, plus it is of a gold parallel set and to top it off, jersey numbered!!
3rdly...
05-06 Topps Finest - Allen Iverson - Patchworks Jersey Superfractor Masterpiece 1/1 - She's a beauty, isn't she? Not sure how many #1/1's I have got now with this addition, I'll have to re-count it on the drawing board soon enough.
4thly...
06-07 Topps - Allen Iverson - Marks of Excellence Autograph - Not bad, for a standard autograph card. The design is OK, in my opinion. Previous year's Marks of Excellence is better, I reckon.
5th... now a transaction offline, which I am really glad that it was handled offline, rather than through eBay, because it would've costed me a lot more than what I payed for. Ev has got one for his PC and now it is my turn to own one for mine. The Allen Iverson one, is so rare and costly that I haven't seen one for the last year, which is incredibly rare in my opinion for a card that isn't all that old. But first, here are 2 bonus cards the kind seller have included for me.
05-06 Upper Deck SPx - Allen Iverson - Gold Spectrum #8/25 - Another pearler of an insert/parallel set.
03-04 Fleer Avant - Allen Iverson - Candid Collection Jersey #249/250 - I never thought there will ever be a card that uses the picture that I use for my MSN display picture. But here it is....
Drum roll please....
03-04 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection - Allen Iverson - Extra Exquisite Gold Jersey #8/25 - I am in awe to finally own one for my collection.
