Is Exquisite any good still?

So after a massively up and down year where I thought I was done with the hobby (due to some bad news and financial troubles) I have managed to come back with a new set Chase (largely because of the encouragement from my wife).

A little while ago I began chasing down 05/06 exquisite base and also the gold base /25.

Both chases have their difficulties with some collectors hoarding their pc guys. I think I'm doing ok though.

Here they are so far.

A MASSIVE shout at must go to @Shawn Bradley Fan for helping me get some of these over to Oz. I got a bunch of the lower end guys for really cheap from a US only seller. Matt you continue to do great things for us Aussies. Thanks again.

I've managed to pick up a couple of Golds so far. I'd really love to grab the Spurs players (Duncan and Parker) soon.

Exquisite will always be my #1 high end set and the standard. Have a look at the detail even in the base cards compared to the plain white Flawless, Immaculate and NT Panini cards. Well done on those additions.
 
Wow the gold's look fantastic.
We really are getting shat on these days with the lack of detail on high end cards. The etched b/g on this set is second to none.

I 100% agree, anything that comes out I compare to Exquisite and work from there if I think prices are reasonable or ridiculous and to be left alone.

I rated NT's first base design but the white background has been flogged now.

IMO this is Exquisites finest base set, although it's hard to go past 03/04 for sheer star power also.

Thanks for the post
 
Thank you all for the comments, much appreciated.

These are even nicer in hand.

Hopefully this thread brings a few that I need out of the woodwork, especially those rare golds
 
Great set to go for and even bigger props for a missus who encourages you to collect cards! Where do you find such women and how do I get one? hah hah

Thanks mate, I was hoping your post would add that you have a bunch of the Golds I know how you love your Exquisite.

Apparently a dude on HK has 100 of the base Jordans amazing, but crazy at the same time.

You're right, it's great to have a wife that supports my Hobby It could be worse, I could waste my money on the pokies or in the pub I guess.
