It has been a busy month with lots of 23K Gold cards coming in to boost my collection. They will be featured in future maildays, got some cool sets and never seen before parallels as well. But in the meantime, I also managed to bring in some key additions to my PC. We will start off with an Asian flavour.
A very nice uncirculated card but the protector makes the scan a bit fuzzy.
04-05 Bowman Signature Edition RC Jersey Auto Gold (#'d to 169)
The latest addition to the LA Lakers squad, Sun Yue is a promising Chinese player with unusual athleticism and physique
07-08 Ultra SE RC Gold Medallion
Thank you Mike for this gift
07-08 Ultimate Collection Materials
One of the oddest looking card I have seen with GU on it
03-04 Ultra Roundball Disc GU
Now we move on to the good stuff, the following cards I have chased for many many years (for the right price that is). Many would question my seriousness as a Shaq collector for only having these up until now but anyway, I got them now.
One of the cards that once booked for more than 100
92-93 Hoops Draft Redemption
This card got away last time when I had the chance to buy a BGS9 for $25 but got beaten to it on ebay.
92-93 Hoops Magic's All Rookies
A very nice parallel to the the base acetates, I love their colouring
03-04 EX Essential Credentials Now (#'d to 48)
Now it's AUTO time, one of Shaq's early (full) autographs, came in a box set
92 Classic Basketball Gold Autograph (#'d to 8500)
Another AUTO from the early years of his career, this one is more limited
94 Classic Basketball Autograph (#'d to 500)
That's all from me this time, I am quite happy with this lot. The autographs would have come out better if they used silver ink but I have no clue why they used gold ink against a dark background. I am still chasing the legendary 92-93 Stadium Club Beam Team card of Shaq, plus a few classic Promos and Members Only cards to complete Shaq's Rookie year collection.
