Well I've been the recipient of numerous gifts lately and they all need a proper thank you. My #21 collection is now past 3/4 of the way to 100 and flying along....
I was at 65 on Jan 1 and now at 79 with 80 and 81 on the way. It's been an awesome year for me and I have a lot of people to thank....
Anyway - better get started - and in no order of preference.
Last week I get an email from Laza-Russ - a guy from HK, saying - got something 4 u! He wasn't making it up!!!
A few short days later from Hawaii arrived these....
This big fat oversized refractor...
And this little gem....
#74
My first KG/McCants dual.....
On the same day a package from Japan arrives unannounced. Jeff (jkinjp from HK) had been on the prowl for me again!!!
I ripped it open and I was stunned to find this.....
#75
This is a from 15 card KG subset from 00-01 victory. I'm aiming to get a #21 version of every card. I had 5 but hadn't seen another one for over a YEAR! This is like an auto to me - you're a dead set legend Jeff!
Onto today!!!
My great friend Patrick (LJBIGGESTFAN) had been keeping an eye on #21 auctions for me while I was on holiday for a week. I said I had $50 to spend but set up a snipe for this....
I won it for $26 dlvd so had Patrick had $24 of mine to spend!!!
I get back from my holiday and all hell has broken loose!!!
#76 - #21/50
#77 - #21/99
#78 - #21/25
and finally this beauty....I've always been a fan of a great photo - u don't see them much these days on cards - usually staged pics for rc's or the boring old jump shots/free throw shots.
Well here's one from back in the day!!!!
#79
#21/50
Now as u have probably figured - Patrick spent a bit more than $24!!!! I have managed to fix him up for nearly all of it but the effort he's put into this shows what a great bloke he is - he wins most best collections contests - he'd win most 'best collection mate' contests too - I swear he's probably helped me with about a quarter of my collection now!!!
Will have to do a world tour one day to the States - via Hawaii and Japan of course, with a stop over in Taiwan to visit KZ too!!!
Cheers guys - was especially happy to get the #21/50 evolve auto - I've always liked those evolve cards - great action shots and yeah I was dead lucky to get the #21 version!!!
As for the #5's - I'm thinking I'll start on those once I reach 100 #21's.....
