Tag Team Quads 93/94
Back in 1994 I got my first ever pack of cards. I became really interested in the game and hobby and was a bit of a nut at school, buying up lots of 1994 USA packs from the vending machine, getting in trouble for having cards at school etc etc.
I collected Mitch Richmond and built up a decent collection of him, before falling out of the game around 1998-99.
I went overseas and dabbled in NFL cards, then came back into basketball in around 2007-08, spent shedloads of money on cards and achieved pretty much everything I intended to. I wanted a Jordan auto, I've had about 10 come and go. I wanted a Wilt auto, got one of those............. had pretty much every card I ever really wanted and that was awesome, then I started getting into game used stuff.
I bought a couple of really awesome pieces and then found the Meigray auctions... spent a LOT there and then decided that with the card hobby being so full of scammers and pathetic people, as well as sub-standard product and abysmal customer service (both by Panini and ebay), that I just didn't have the passion for it anymore.
I had a holy grail that I'd liked to have obtained before quitting, and now, I'm thrilled to say that my collection is complete.
I'd like to thank everybody who has bought anything off me recently, especially Garth who took pretty much the rest of my cards off my hands.
I'd also like to thank Rob for both his awesome outlook on things and also for helping me with shipping of one of these last beauties.
Before we start, I'd like to suggest that you watch this -
(pay close attention to #2.......)
While it's sad that the Thunder didn't win, there's nothing sad about what I'm about to show you....
Worn in the NBA Finals game 3
#2 on the court, #1 in your hearts...
And it is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!
Plus it goes really well with my season debut jersey...
So that's the first part down.
Some of you might think it gets better from here...
...as you should....
In 1987-88 this player won his first MVP award. He was known to practice as hard as he played.
That's probably why this jersey has a fair bit of wear on it...
It's reversible
Has cool little logomans
Was made by Sand-Knit
And was worn by the greatest player in NBA history.
Accompanied by a signed letter from the friend he gave this to, as well as Mears COA, this practice jersey was worn by Michael Jordan in the season he lead the league in both scoring (35ppg) and steals (3.16spg).
It is so awesome adding a Michael Jordan piece to my collection!
So I added another....
Worn in his return to the NBA in 1994-95, not as treasured as his #23, but much more rare, I present to you...
"He's Back"
I've owned a Jordan tag before...
Here's my first logoman
Originally obtained by Grey Flannel, then sold through Mears, I now own a Michael Jordan game worn jersey!!
So that's me. I can't top this, I'm not going to try to. I'm just going to start saving money and living my life, though I do need to start investigating framing options...
I'll still hang around the forums, but you will not see another mailday from me again. It's been a pleasure

... Amazing Michael Jordan jersey. Anything game worn from Air Jordan Is looked upon as a brick of gold. Think about the years to come, It's truely sports history.
