hi guys.

hope our christmas was all good and more importantly safe, merry xmas to all and thnx for the great memories on ozcards. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::v:

OK had a few nice cards come in over the last week, wanted to share with u all. three of them are a tribute to the one and only slobbythegreat :thumbsup:. they were graded and decided to bust em open cos i wasnt too crash hot with their gradings (rule of thumb, if the grading label isnt Beckett 9.5 MINIMUM, then your allowed to rip into it :lol:). mind you the Bogut population is the only way graded that high, and the only 9. read on to see what i mean. cheers


righto heres a really nice Vince Carter Auto from the early 1999-00 UD Retro INKREDIBLE set, totally love the 90's inserts and autos. it was graded 8.5 Beckett, so in pretty mint condition but nothing gold. check it out:

OK we'll move onto some Buyback Auto greatness. totally love the fact this card is originally from 1988-89 Fleer. re-released in the 2006-07 Fleer product, check out this baby of Hakeem aka Akeem Olajuwon Buyback Auto and serial numbered to #/24. really like this card:

ok we'll now move onto some of my favourites, MJ 90's inserts. these here are from 1996-97 UD3 SUPERSTAR SPOTLIGHT and the awesoem 1997-98 Upperdeck GREAT EIGHT #ed/800 inserts. for those who know their 90's inserts will know the MJ GREAT EIGHT is a pretty rare card to come by. also note that the SUPERSTAR SPOTLIGHT was PSA graded 8, and with PSA minimum it must be a 10 in order to leave it in its case :lol:. check it:

righto now onto the last baby of the bunch. The following is an Andrew Bogut 2005-06 SP Authentic rookie card which was graded a pretty high 9 for its kind. IT WAS THE HIGHEST EVER GRADED CARD OF ITS KIND, & POPULATION EVER WAS 1. so not anymore though, :lol:. there have only ever been 2 of these cards graded by Beckett. one graded a 8.5, and the other a 9. these cards are known to have some type of defects, so a 9 is very very good. from the parallel LIMITED EXTRA ROOKIE AUTO PATCH #ed/25. goes very nice with the PATCH version i already had. check it:

righto thats all for now folks, thnx for checking my mailday thread yet again, and hopefully i can have one more nice explosive mailday before the year ends. take it easy guys, and wishing you all the very best. cheers, STEVE :) :) :)


ps. heres the graded labels that i pulled off each of the 3 cards i busted. check out some of the categories grading scores (Edges, Centering, etc.):

nice addtions steve. I always envy your scanner really looks good. showing the vibrant colors of the card. :worthy::worthy::worthy: LOL nice tribute.
thnx for the nice comments mate, appreciated. yeh sometimes i use a scanner and sometimes i use a digital camera. and sometimes i use both to get the proper effect of a card (especially for foil cards and refractor cards) :lol:. what i mean by both is example:

the Michael Jordan SUPERSTAR SPOTLIGHT insert. the center circle with the pic of MJ is a see-through image and doesnt show up in scans. so to show that effect, this is what i do:
1. first i scan the card (this scan doesnt show the center image, scan is dull)
2. then i take a photo of the card (this photo shows the center image)
3. i edit and cut out the center image from the camera pic, and "paste" it onto the scanned image.
4. flatten layers and then save the image, done.

know what i mean now? With the scanned image, i try to use a high resoltion scan to show the card in al its beauty, 1200dpi is usually standard i use. sometimes thoguh i use a 600dpi scan. example, the cards in this thread are with a 600dpi scanner. cheers mate, & take care.


that hakeem is simply awesome steve, love the retro cards with sigs on em
