NBA 50 Greatest Autographs.... "White Whale" CAPTURED!!!

[Basketball]

This is my frst and probably only Jabbar autograph I will have in my collection, so I am very excited about this one. I know i'm supposed to be "retired" but this is one I just couldn't pass up... Only numbered to 10!!! So how many more chances would I get on this one?

While i'm at it I might as well show my GU for my Jabbar mini Jabbar PC. Only card missing to complete another mini set is his 1969 Topps RC, which I will pick up one day...

Here's my GU Jabbar 1/1 letter "J"

Here's my Jabbar autographed baby. This card is only numbered to 10

Thanks for looking, and for being happy for my happiness.

Happy Collecting!

Thanks! I actually already had the GU letter, but just got the Silhouettes. I like building 3 card mini sets of players I like - RC, GU and Auto, so now I just need the RC to complete this one.

Love that silo - sporting the goggles and in classic skyhook pose. Not so sure about the Famous Fabrics products but gotta like a game used letterman!

Hey there, nice pickup on the Silo, they're a very cool design, and are always appreciated!

What's the "50 Greatest Autographs" theme?

Another question mate, who graded the letter? I can't see a logo/name, etc...

Thanks! Yeah I love how they used the famous skyhook pose and those goggles haha The Famous Fabrics brand is legit... A while back I did my research on the company because I wasn't sure, but they're good, they buy their jerseys in major auction houses and the company is pretty big and only getting bigger, and they're more known for other sports... hopefully they will do a lot more besketball in the future. I love Letterman cards, wheater they're from Topps, UD or Famous Fabrics. Hopefully Panini will get with the program.

Thanks, Slobby! Love you guys on Oz! Especially you Slobby With inspiration from others like you, I think i'm going after this set I slowed down there a bit, but I think I wanna do this set. I never completed a set before, and hopefully these Silhouettes will be my first.

Here is one of my favorite videos on youtube, the actual NBA 50 Greatest ceremony

As far as the grading... it's not graded, just slabbed for protection, and i've heard they had Beckett do the job, but not sure about that, can't confirm this, I haven't contacted the company or anything. The company is very legit and they buy their game used jerseys from big known auction houses... they're known more for other sports, but hopefully they will be doing more basketball soon.

Thanks again guys, really appreciate all the kind words.
