You may have seen a couple of these as I posted them on the HOF thread... but the majority are new.

1) Just love this card. Parish has more than his share of autographs out there so it was hard for me to pick which one I wanted for the PC, so I deceided to go with his 1977 Topps RC. I like how it's already PSA/DNA certified and the card itself is very well centered, which is rare for this issue. The auto is nice and clean as well and I think at 40 bucks, it was a steal imo. The PSA fees alone should be at least 20 bucks. :cool:

2) This card looks great in hand. It's an Exquisite, numbered 50 OF 50, the card is nice and solid blue, and a jersey to put a cherry on the top.

3) This is a classic set. Very clean auto, bold and pretty, which is pretty rare for Cunningham, as his auto can be very sloppy at times and skip also.

4) Already have Elgin Baylor autos, but I love this set so I just couldn't pass it up. I love UD Black in general but these Autographed Numbers are very nice looking in hand.

5) This set is just beautiful. The design on this card just jumps out at you... :cool: Also very low numbered /10 and the auto is clean.

6) I love this card because he's wearing the original Los Angeles Lakers jersey, old school! The set itself is a very nice set numbered to only 25. The auto is very bold blue. Blue auto, blue jersey, so it'll match the BGS blue label :D

7) Can't go wrong with this one. First ever patch cards for Sam Jones and he hasn't signed in a while... Numbered to only 10 in the world, very nice card. You really can't see too much from the scan, but the jersey looks much used in hand, you can see the dirt... :cool:

8) I LOVE this card!!! :)! This gotta be one of my top 5 autographed cards, just love it! Not sure which one I like more, this is the next card. IMO, the best John Stockton autograph card out there period. As far as I know this is his first auto card. I have been waiting a loooong time for this card and finally I have recured one :D The design is simple and beautiful, the auto is as bold as can be. I let a few go in the past cause the autograph itself wasn't too bold and some skipping, but this is even better looking in hand. The scan doesn't do it any justice because it shows some imperfections which are not really there when you have it in hand. Anyway, sorry for going on about this card but it's AWESOME!!! Probably of my top 10 cards, and not top 10 in temrs of value or anything, just love it! The fact that it's his first auto, way back in 1992 while he was actually playing in the NBA... Do yourself a favor, and if you can get this card, snatch it up! You will not regret it.

9) SHAQ!!! I personally have never seen a more bold Shaq auto anywhere... I have looked at 100's of listings waiting for that perfect looking non skipping Shaq auto and finally it is home :D This is his first Autographics, which I wasn't aware of when I bought it, so cool bonus :cool: With Shaq there are many autograph cards to pick from, so it was very hard. I also like how it's an autograph from his playing years with the Lakers :) The parallel to this card numbered to 50 recently sold for over 700 bucks!!! But for me personally, I like the regular version as I don't like the hand numbering, because I think it takes away from the look of the auto, not to mentioned it's hand numbered by somebody at the card company, not Shaq. I'm gonna miss watching the big man play :( All the players from my time are slowly going bye bye :mad:

Thanks! Yeah a lot of people have been loving the Stockton, I guess i'm not the only one with good taste ;) Yeah man couldn't be happier with this card, I love it! Thanks again.
 
Wow very nice man! Nice clean autos and I admire your dedication to pick the best for your collection ;)

Didn't know the cards were hand-numbered by the company not the player :O
 
definitely some cards that are very easy to appreciate there. Love the shaq, autographics get to me especially that year of autographics!

Thank you so much for the kinds words I really appreciate them. I try to pick the best so it goes slow... Otherwise I would have finished back in 2005 when I first started on this set lol. Slowly but surely.

Yes, the hand numbering is done by somebody at the company, which I think is very stupid, they should just do serial machine numbering. But some hand numbering looks ok as long as it's not close to the signature and stand out too much...

There was a guy on HK who collects Bill Russell, user ID is Bostoncorn I think, name is Nick. He used to work for the Topps company and actually hand numbered some Greg Oden cards...

Just check out the Autographics/50 and you will see that the numbering all is the same hand writting lol. Also with other sets.

I better not quote anymore responses, they are all going on separete posts??? That never used to happen before...

THANK YOU ALL!!! Really appreciate all the comments guys.
 
I like that Shaq... bid on the one on ebay recently but to no avail. The West is sweet and the Barry comes from a very cool set.

Thanks Hairy! Yeah I was watching that Shaq at auction as well... I actually bought mine on a BIN listing which ended before the auction one. When the auction had ended, the seller of mine didn't ship it out yet because it was the weekend, so I was worried he wouldn't ship it because the auction ended for $50 more lol. I mean, there was no way to either of us to know... but I was still worried because i've heard stories before. But anyway, it arrived and I love it!
