Ok, where to start... I have started a few new PC's.
One is of those players I grew up watching and previous players that I thought were absolute Legends. After writing down a list I realise the list is massive, but I will get there in the end no rush.
The other PC is for an auto of all the Slam Dunk Contest Champions, need to be in the Jersey for the team they were playing for the year they won.
First off though, a couple of randoms and other PC's.
These from Cherry:
J.R Smith Gold Auto
Monta Ellis Jersey
Wes Matthews Spectrum Auto
This is one for the Missus, she likes Bruce Bowen (from ESPN) so I got her a card .
This for the Paul George PC
Had the HUGE pleasure of doing a deal with Tiphaine (Ia iph) for the following 2 cards. Thanks heaps mate for the gifts as well. (awesome yummy French Caramels and from the local soccer team a pendent - Go A.S Saint-Etienne!!)
Paul George Prestigious Pick Jersey
And this Dwight Howard Foursome Jersey.
I had these come in for the new Dunk Contest PC.
Dee Brown Star Auto - 1991 (not real sure how Authentic these are, but for $3.I can upgrade later)
Gerald Green - 2007
04/50
And Spud Webb - 1986 (also fits into my Legends PC, when I find another )
/49
Then these all go into my 'Legends' PC:
Adrian Dentley /99
Chris Mullin /49
Got this one thanks to Adam (Drob50) which was the deal.
Robert Horry /199
However, this was not part of the deal!
George Gervin Oncard Auto
Sorry the scanner doesn't do it justice. Huge thanks for this Adam! It was really appreciated and fits very nicely into my new PC . He is a cheeky bugger, but an absolute champion.
These also came from a member here, Minh (crackberry). They too were very unexpected, but hugely appreciated!! Thanks so much Minh.
Tim Hardaway /99
Moses Malone 7/10
Both oncard!
I have been blown away by the generosity I have seen and received from this site! Thanks heaps to the awesome lads above Tiphaine, Adam and Minh and to all the great people I have had a chance to deal with in my short time here so far.
haha, that is all my missus knows him from. "He is very logical and easy to listen to...you know, Bruce from ESPN". I always chuckle when she says that.
It was the only excuse I needed to get an auto
Its all about 'what goes around comes around' mate! You were generous with some help for the PC Battle Prizes so you deserve it!!
Looks like that legends PC is gonna be a cracker! Have you actually got a test or set list of qualifications for them to be classed as a legend? Or are you leaving it open to opinion on the day... just so you will always have an excuse to pick up one or two more

Well, you can't be too definite about these things, your only restricting yourself if you do
There are 2 parts of the PC for me. All the players I watched and followed who actually played during the 1991 - 1995 seasons, minus those I thought were boneheads. It is a very personal list, for example, I liked guys like Kenny Smith, but not that into Shaq!!
The other part is the champions of the game prior to that period that are just awesome. Good list there as well.
Love the idea for the PC, I am doing a similar thing, if i see cards of players i enjoyed from the 90s whoever they played for. It just means you end up with a bunch of cards and players that you like. That cant be a bad thing.
Nice haul and nice stuff with the freebies - eclectic enough to challenge one of my maildays! At least she didn't say I like Reggie from TNT - get me a few autos of his... heh heh
Here's my Dee Brown on card auto for a comparison:
