So, I have been having a bit of a rough time lately due to injury amongst other things!
I was driving in to work this morning and decided to check the PO Box on the way in. Glad I did!
First up, a few random PC pickups
Superscribe Auto chase:
Kawhi pickup:
This is a mini card from Goodwins, about half the size of a normal card.
This bad boy came from a trade with a guy in California:
Disappointed that the auto isn't clean, but most of the ones on eBay are the same, so I guess it is about as good as they get?
For those that are interested, I am currently at 25 (plus 2 incoming) Kawhi cards including the only Panini 1/1, 9 Autos (plus 1 incoming) and every card from Retro and SP Authentic.
Next up, some may have seen this before?? I thought it was cool, so I jumped at a chance to include this in my 'NBA Greats' PC
Hakeem Limited On Card auto:
There was a thread about this card a while back which I remembered when I saw this one. Her is the back of the card:
Double auto error! haha. I checked the last one that was posted and it is a different number. There was some speculation that the auto was faked because of the lack of the #34 on the back, but this one came straight from Panini as a redemption, so it was The Dream's error, not a faker! haha
This one is a pretty cool result for me too. I was negotiating a trade with a guy in California for this card and he was only a new member that had only 4 FB, yet he refused to send first, which of course made alarm bells ring. I don't know why, but I decided to just give it a go, partly because the trade was in my favour! lol
Anyway, today it arrived, safe and sound, and in GREAT condition!:
Julius Erving Panini's Choice GOLD number 4/5
Scan looked terrible, changed to photo. These look sweet in hand!
But the 2 packages that really made my day were both surprises that just blew my mind. You will see why.
After a conversation with a member on here about a card of theirs, I tried to help him out with it, but was not successful, unfortunately. But, that didn't stop him from sending this to me anyway, as a gift!
Thanks Ang! You are a real gentleman and I won't forget that!
And the next one, well, let's just say it is the card that haunted me the most!
It has been available on OCT 3 times that I know of. All 3 times were just at the worst possible time for me to pick it up. I tried to round up some $$ at these times to grab it, but wasn't fast enough! haha
I have watched it pop its head up and down regularly as if to remind me about it! hah
And, all of a sudden, with no warning, I get a package in the post this morning......
Ridiculous hey!! Our resident Kiwi (Matt) has sent it over to me without even telling me about it!
Technically, if you go by the checklist, I already have this card. But, this one was one that I really wanted because it contained the Spur patch from the white home jersey, to match this one:
Seriously Matty, thanks mate! Be remember to watch behind you and duck when the boomerang comes! haha
