Paul George in a case!

[Strop]

Heya all,

I have a short story for those that are interested. For those that aren't or can't read...pic's at the bottom


I had been away from collecting and NBA for about 14 years prior to 2011. So when I got back into it I didn't really know many players so was unsure who to collect.

I made myself a deal. The first jersey card I pulled, I would collect that player. It was a TT box and Dwight was the player.

The next good box I bought was the then just released NT and I noted the cool RPA's everyone was pulling, so decided that if I got an RPA out of the box, that was the Rookie I would try and collect.

As you can guess, it was a Paul George (who?!) RPA to /99, which I have guarded tightly ever since. After looking up some info on him and actually liking his game and stats, was very happy with my new PC player.

Well, after having the card on display in the house for the last 2 years I got the opportunity to send it off to get graded and was stoked to see this arrive in the mail yesterday!!

Huge thanks to Adam (drob50) and Dan (cool dude in NY) for helping me get this sorted!!

Anywho, not everyone's cup of tea, but I am happy with the results!!

That is a sweet card! Nice patch and a great investment also.

Love the story too! You got very lucky to get such a good RPA for your first IMO.

Shame to see it encased in a plastic capsule

Great card though Strop, nice gold label as well I guess

Cheers Matt, I thought you might want to start the 'Free PG' movement! (I thought of that myself...notice it rhymes)

Cheers Nick , those lads are off their trees. $20k..but that would be for the 8.5 or 9 right?!

Thanks Dody! He's have a pretty good run at the moment that's for sure. Just hope he doesn't get all sooky...I have seen glimpses in the last few games

Graded goodness.

BGS graded 9.5 - Confirms the value of this card and protects it from dust/light. I am stoked for you! Looks great!

Amazing card and what a grade, I think something like that deserves to be in a bgs case!!

 

[West Oz Cards]

flapping awesome RPA to pull in a box of NT!! Well done!!! PG is gonna have a huge year!!!

Lucky you didn't pull a Harangody or Aldrich instead! Basketball gods were smiling on your favourably that day my friend! Great grade too!
