First off, I bought this to sell to a mate but then forgot about it. Don't need the money and he didn't even know about the card so I may as well keep it... goes nicely with my Wilt, Jordan and Bird/Magic RCs -
Tempted to pick up an Erving, but then I'll need a Russell, and then a Mikan....
Anyways, the best part of this mailday - the result of trades with a couple of great members on Blowout.
First, these from Ben in Canada (Freedub21) -
and also my first ever Panini (and full name for that matter) Kobe auto. These are sneaky nice in hand, because in scans you don't see the refractory-ness. Yes, I did just use a word that doesn't exist.
Then the big'n....
I have been in talks with Steve (doclegend33 - also on Sportscardforum) for months about this card. Finally, just before Christmas, we agreed on a deal. I had to give up A LOT (seriously - Rose, Durant and Westbrook Ultimate RC autos to name a few), but sent them off and there were no problems... on his end...
It got caught in customs at my end, and they wanted me to pay $250 to release it. I wasn't too keen on that so explained to them that it was a trade, what went out basically came in, and that this is not going to be sold in any stores (because we don't have any over here!).
Finally it was delivered today.
And it's a beauty.

My last couple of maildays had Jordan/Lebron dual autos. Figured I'd go a step or two further...
Fark me! That has to be one of the biggest cards OCT has ever had the privilege of hosting in a mailday thread! First three cards are all worthy too.... Which reminds me, first time I enter a PC comp and I get you in the first round - at least there weren't any more monster Wilt additions this time around (not that you need them)!
Those National Treasures cards ARE beautiful when you're holding them ! That's why I LOVED the Durant I had ! So shiney !
No Idea who Lew Alcindor Is !
Is that last one ON CARD auto's ? My God, Graeme ... That's just amazing. Basketball history. I love that they got KG on there too ! ... Has to be one of my favorite signed cards that I have ever seen. That had to of cost you a ton of money. Your collection Is like a museum now. ... Totally awesome.

Yes they are on-card. I think they only put KG because he was a current player... it would be weird with Erving or Bird on it... kinda want to cut that bit off but unfortunately it also contains the serial number...
Oh and it cost me no money. It was completely a trade.
