Not many maildays happening over Easter so thought I'd scan up some stuff which hit my mailbox shortly before Thursday.......

Firstly bit thanks to Garth (postgsl - OCT's very own JO aficionado) who sent me these freebies in an Oscar Robertson TT tin as well as something else which will feature later on in this post. Big shout out for the awesome gesture mate!

Some of the freebies

Oscar Robertson reprint and Topps Chrome and Stockton Bowman Chrome

Few SP Kidds - the guy just gets better with age! Topps /2007, SPA /499 and Arceologists /249 (this one now gives me base, numbered, jersey and patch versions)

Mash Memories

Coming up are a few PC Mash cards but first is a copy of the February 1994 Beckett (crikey they were thin magazines back then!) which first got me starting Jamal Mashburn after reading the feature spread about him. Oriignal Beckett has been long gone so decided to get a new one to replace it.

Jamal Mashburn IP auto - cheap price and nobody went near it - but I'm 99.9% sure it's legit and feel like I picked myself up a bargain.

Now quite possibly the nicest thing that's happened to me in my many years of card collecting.... Again it was Garth (postgsl) who decided to hook me up with this little beauty from back in the day which is better than my original and upgraded versions! It's also hand serialled /2500 and slabbed in so much material it would make Han Solo jealous! Thanks again Garth!

More 90s memories

Brother is a huge Celtics fan and picked this up for his birthday because he used be a huge fan of 'Employee No. 8'. Great advert....YouTube - antoine walker employee number 8 adidas commercial Used to be a gun player too!

Not UDA or PSA but it's only Antoine and picked it up for less than the cost of a new I/O basketball anyway!

Now for one of the better PC cards in my unwieldy collection....

It really does speak for itself so gaze your eyes upon this little pearler!

'Big O' auto numbered 10/15!!!!! Admittedly not the full sig which carries the premium but still one of the nicer adds in recent times.


As always, thanks for looking and comments always appreciated. Enjoy the easter break and playoff basketball!
 
Great additions mate. Love that Classics Mash auto :thumbsup:

Cheers - I went through two others with faded silver texta until I ended up with this one - serial numbered to boot! PC - NFT!

Nice assortment of stuff, Love the Auto ball :thumbsup:

About the only thing I could have asked for was a better quality ball and if he had signed it on the other side near the NBA logo.... Still, very, very happy with it - kind of want to find bro something else for his b'day so I can keep it!

Very nice, love the Big O and Mash mailday!

Each Mash card from the 90s is like grabbing all the cards I wanted back then but could never afford or obtain until now - real trip down memory lane.

Nice pickups as always Skip!

Cheers Tom - appreciate your post especially since you probably don't even know who half the players I collect are! lol I've got some stuff for your PC so will send you a PM.

sick looking ball mate...good price too and love the big o!!!

...at that price Antoine Walker is the best player in the world IMO! hah hah Remember his 'shimmies' - used to get kaned with him on NBA Live and he'd bust out that annoying shimmy down the court....

love that low numbered big o auto... SICK!!
quality lettermen too

Cheers Branko - I actually scored the /15 Big O at half the price other people want for much higher numbered stuff so pretty stoked with that outcome. Armstrong is my only ebay 1/1 with the last print numbering!

Oh you collect Kidd too? *opens bubble mailer* ;)
Nice additions Skip

Indeed, Kidd is the man! Hang on a sec.... He's actually the only active player I collect and he's already about 50 years old! lol Affordable cards but he just has soooooo many out there! I guess that's what tends to happen when you play for 17 straight seasons!
