PC Battle Shootout – Round 3 – The Semi’s​

Getting down to the business end now! Some real schalackings in the last round which were probably unexpected coming out of round 1.

No we are left with just 4 – Verse 1, backinthemixer, KB. and Supercharged Collection!

Thanks to all who have been involved thus far!

I have used random.org this time as I can’t see an easy way to make fair groups!

[backinthemixer]

Damn, that exquisite is insane!! Good bye all, lol

LOL it no 1/1 auto patch tho should be a good match up, regardless of how it goes i'm stoked i managed to get far enough to pull out my favourite dwight!

Good luck and it will no doubt be a tightly fought contest!

Can't go past the Dual Patch Auto 1/1

 

[Sanctum]

As nice as it is, I can go past the dual patch auto.. the Dwight gets my vote, all round pleasant on the eyes cardboard.

 

[xlukex]

If only it wasn't a sticker dwight gets my vote.

 

[spurlec]

Nasty Dwight!! He gets the nod.

 

[Cobretti]

Nooooooooooo, Aminu /1 ALL THE WAY..

I was surprised Howard got into round 3. When I voted last round he wasn't faring so well. great comeback.

 

[hairyangryfella]

Great 1/1, but that Dwight is one of the nicest cards I've ever seen

 

[drob50]

Ohhhhhh Skiiiiiiiiiip!!!!! Where art thou Skip????

No one else's commentary is sufficient mate [-X no one!

And the longer you make me wait.... the more I will steal your finger waving man!!

 

[starbury33]

You know you have a sweet Dwight if it can beat a 1/1.

 

[911_Turbo]

Dwight for me, super patch! Pity for the sticker on the Aminu, otherwise an awesome card.

1/1s are the holy grail for us hobbyists but unfortunately with the plethora of printing plates and panini parallels they've lost some of the allure that they once had. Don't get me wrong, still a sensational card, nice looking auto and dual patch but unfortunately also features several of the things that us collectors also don't like about modern cards - sticker autos and pretty ordinary patches. Think about it, a 1/1 should be the flagships of your PC but this particular effort has 2 x bland two colour piping patches and a sticker auto! I busted one box of Classics and scored an on card Aminu auto out of several hundred.....then there was that insane RPA we saw last round (and we know there are dozens more similar to it), so how come none of that patchy goodness found its way into a 1/1 Aminu card? So even though I appreciate the rarity of the card and its worth in a PC it represents what's happened to the hobby in recent times of which I'm not a big fan! Sorry KB, had to be said!

Now let's examine the Dwight..... This particular card is the exact opposite of what I just was complaining about, big multi break, multi colour Orlando patch, with a nice clear visible auto on the patch itself! Better auto, better patch and definitely a better product overall. Oh, a better player too! The only thing that could trump the Dwight is its 1/1 status, which when we stop to think about it is some dude at Panini HQ running around stamping random cards with his 1/1 stamp on the back! If it wasn't for the little Panini guy stamping cards on the back this contest wouldn't even be close!

Vote Dwight!

 

[Harsha_12]

My Vote Was For Dwight- Don't think i've seen a Better Dwight Howard card!

 

[drob50]

My vote is for Skip!
Best value for money pickup yet!

Vote Dwight!

All truth!

Looks like I got creamed this round, and deservedly so, that Dwight is a monster card. Congrats mate and best luck in the next round!
