Hi!

Hey Everyone,

Gary from California here, just happened upon this site when I googled "Sprewell Precious Metal Gems" today. I've been out of the hobby for awhile but collected from about 92-04ish, mainly focusing on Latrell Sprewell, Chris Webber, Ray Allen.....and Billy Owens (don't laugh at me).

Look forward to reading the forums here.

Thanks,
Gary

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome! Hope you find some PMG’s! Originals are still the best, 08-09 had some mad peeling issues start up after a few years!

Thanks for welcomes OutlawNinja and GarnettFan4Life!

Today's outrageously priced high-end products and all too plentiful autos and memorabilia cards have not interested me so much. I love the cards from back when I was collecting, the 93-94 UD SE Die-cuts, Essential Credential low-numbered cards, Skybox Autographics, 93 Finest refractors and of course the PMG's were my favorite inserts back in the day. I am lucky enough to have an OG red Sprewell, Ray, and CWebb from 97-98....no greens of course.

Reading posts here is making me want to get back into collecting from that era.

I think there's lots of people here in the same boat - 90's collectors, had some time off, seen most of the Panini stuff but still longed for the 90's cards they once were able to get. At least where you live I gather there's some card shops? We had a mad boom in the 90's, card stores everywhere then ebay mostly killed them all and there's virtually nothing in AUS now. Sad.
