From the old to the new with a bit of Bird watching in between....

[skip20]

Okay let's get this show on the road!

First up is a few cards for the 93-94 Jam Session Set Chase - thanks to Jason I now only need 3 more to complete the set I've been chasing for 16 years! The elusive cards are X McDaniel, R Horry and G Long.

Than a few of the up n comers I picked up off of Aram. Like the look of Spectrum (#/249) and Premiere Materials (# /499). Nice n shiny! heh heh

The there's Ellington and Jones (both # /299), the former with a partially obscured sig and the latter with a sig that should be obscured!

Then some big names with big games - and some (relatively) low numbered GU. Karl Malone Hardcourt GU Floor, Kidd Artistry #/299 and Kobe Luxury Box #/199

Now for a guy you've probably never heard of - Jack Smiley - a defensive whiz who played for the Fort Wayne Zollner Pistons. ...but that's not important, the fact that it's a 1948 Bowman card is though!

....and now for the Bird watching! First is a rare species with only 49 believed to be in existence. Larry Bird Spectrum auto 17/49

Now that first Bird may have been rare and this one is almost as rare but definitley much, much more attractive species....

Larry Bird Premier Penmanship on-card auto #10/50 Big, bold and definitely a rare sighting!

Thanks for looking folks, comments always appreciated!

Some of the GU Floor cards can look pretty cool depending on what gets branded on them - thi sis definitley a uniquely coloured floor though!

Thanks mate, this is actually my third - and 3rd best. I like to think it's the mother of all basketball card collecting!

Gotta get me a Bowman 48 orig!

Anybody who knows anything about basketball cards need to grab one, kind of like paying homage to the grand-daddy of all basketball cards!

Nice pickups mate! Love the Last Bird Auto!

I've got a few Bird autos - and that last one is probably my fave. Probably come close to my favourite card full-stop!

I think I like the 48 Bowmans from my days flipping through Beckett lists and always knowing what came first and foremost!

You really notice the difference between on-card and sticker sigs - on card the dude just goes nuts and unfurls a gigantic sig. Some of his sigs get cut off quite badly on stickers...

That Bird spectrum is sickness personified wow mate congrats on your mailday swag!!

'48 Bowman OMG!!

48 Bowman - original and the best! Spectrums are a nice looking card for sure...

Very nice Bird auto's there mate, i like them!

In hand, the last one definitley kicks tail! Larry cut sick on that one!
