first mailday for aaaaaaaaaaages = first hakeem card

[geelongfan]

hey guys

first mailday in quite a while here..

firstly,
some shaq rc's that im collecting every now and then..

im really liking the PSA cases, BGS are a bit too thick!

second is a jermaine o'neal 05-06 exquisite base card # to 225..
im hoping this guy has a massive season this year.. the guy has the potential to be an MVP if he plays at his best..

and lastly,
my first hakeem auto card! #12/25
really happy to own one of the greatest ever centers autos!
such a versatile and dominant force back in the day

for those wondering about the 'phi slamma jamma' writing..
taken from wikipedia

University of Houston and "Phi Slamma Jamma"

Olajuwon, of the Yoruba ethnicity, traveled from his birthplace of Nigeria to play at the University of Houston, America, becoming teammates with Clyde Drexler, among others, to form what was dubbed "Phi Slamma Jamma".

im guessing it was a fraternity thing.. crazy americans

thanks for lookin

So you like the pas holder now LOL

Nice ultra psa 9 yutttsy.

That Hakeem is a great pickup and those inscriptions from any auto set hold value or gain.

 

[JZA]

sick hakeem inscriptions mate, you dont have too many maildays, but when you do you bust out some pearler cards!

 

[WoobieZarz]

The Shaq Topps Gold is sweet!

That Olajuwon is so neat too, nice crisp auto! Love the Inscription too. Although I don't understand it's Origin, it's still cool!

 

[Funkadelic]

I love that auto, what a cool inkscription. It'd be sweet if there was a Glyde that matched it.

Yeah that Hakeem bloke was alright in his day. Sweet inkscriptions mate, yeah the Phi slama jamma, was the UH fraternity from 81-84. It started with them avg. 15 dunks a game, as back then Hakeem was doing his thing blocking everything that went near the hoop and they would get so many fast breaks leading to a dunk fest between Drexler, michael young, rob williams. (the 1ST/2ND season in the NCAA he didn't much offence, mind you he'd only been playing basket ball for 2 yrs and had plenty of pure shooters around him i.e Rob williams who was the best guard in the NCCA on par with Isiah Thomas)
