Hello,
I am a basketball card collector from Estonia (located in Europe). I found this forum by accident but as it seems to be quite active and I am interested in expanding my collection then decided to join and give it a try.
I started collecting around 1998-99 and tried to gather all Tracy McGrady cards that I could find. Then I included Brevin Knight to the search and few years later also Luis Scola. However, I started feeling that player collectors are somewhat unlucky because it is almost impossible to find all player cards. Each and every year more and more cards are produced, some cards never pop up and there are always other collectors who also wish to have rare cards in their collections. Basically, player collecting is almost like a never ending story if you are maximalist. Around 2002-03 I decided collecting also sets. The first set that I started looking for was 2002-03 Honor Roll master set. I collected these players and one set until 2008-09 but life changed and other things took the time from collecting. Eventually the breaks lasted about 7 years when I found my old collection and checked around what has changed in the hobby.
After the return I have been focusing on finding Brevin Knight cards (all missing ones), Luis Scola 1/1 cards, 2002 Honor Roll master set (missing 2 auto cards), 1998 Spx Finite base, radiance and spectrum, 2017 Revolution Lava parallels and 2018 Select Premier version cards. Most of my attention goes to 2018 Select Premier version cards. There are 15 different parallels and I am missing ca 800 of those.
To sum up, it is glad to be hear and I hope that I can find many missing cards with your help.
I will also post few cards from my collection that I am really proud of.
Regards,
Raido
