Decided! I am going with Damon Stoudamire for my new PC. PLease let me know what you have and check my bucket or hit me up for player trades etc. Cheers.
While I enjoy breaking boxes I am basically a player collector, I like being able to have 1, 2 or 3 cards from each different release so you get a bit of everything in your collection.
Apart from contemporary player Wesley Matthews, I collect Chuck Person and really enjoy finding the 90s and 00s cards, not all autos and GU, just nice inserts etc. It is cheap and fun to find the difficult to find cards. I have 75% of Person's cards now so the hunt is slowing down.
So in short, I am looking to start another retro player collection. I have narrowed it down to a few players with lots of cards that I liked from back in my day (that is when I first started following the NBA). They are not superstars (ie I like David Robinson but his cards can be quite expensive).
Short list is:
Clifford Robinson: Portland (mainly) former 6th man of the year, high scorer good shooter, used to get in punch ups at practice because so competitive.
Damon Stoudamire: Toronto, Portland (mainly), former ROY short man, lots of scoring and assists early, settled into being a role player. former jailblazer (thats a down side).
Michael Finley: Dallas (mainly) fun scorer and high flyer early in career, played for a few teams, settled into role at Spurs.
Thought about Charles Barkley but again too high profile which means expense.
So, any other ideas, discuss my choices.
