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!!
