Preferred and Certified tonight at 12.30 Perth time

Yep...and the results are in.
Preferred has been opened with glee and the hits start out ordinary with a redemption Silver Choice Byron Scott:( The only saving grace is that I think silver is the /25 but not 100% sure. Feel free to correct me (and crush my hopes at the same time)
The next one is a Crown Royale Die Cut Auto of Gordon Hayward 26/99 Not bad (I can already hear Harsha sending me a PM)

Next is better again. Cazzie Russell 23/25 Choice Award Die Cut Auto. I like this both personally (Michigan Wolverine) but also nice and low numbered.

So at this stage I am hoping that the Booklet does not disappoint. Its 16/25 so I am hoping for something patchy...and it does not fail to deliver. She's a beauty SLAM DUNK patches of Kobe, Carter, Robinson, Shaq, McGrady, Webber, Garnett & Grant Hill.

Pics will be up once the computer stops acting up (hence the delay in this post...was hoping to include pics for y'all). Anyways they'll be up shortly.

So overall pretty happy, great booklet, two(hopefully) low numbered autos plus a low numbered Hayward auto, maybe 7/10.

Certified about to be busted now.
 
Awesome work on the Preferred mate! I am liking the patch books, and great players as well.

Mojo for the Certified Richard!!
 
OK, so Certified can be classed as a major fail. Hopefully there are people out there who are bigger fans of these cards than me (ie set chasers), so here are the hits (if you could call them that:()
Pack 1: Ty Lawson FOTG 12/299
Pack 2: Shaq FOTG 61/299
Pack 3: Jason Terry FOTG Patch 19/25
Pack 4: Monta Ellis Jersey (Red) 121/249
Pack 5: TJ Ford Auto (Red) 20/99
Pack 6: Andy Rautins Rookie Auto 423/599

Umm, yeah, so... I know, lets play a game of spot the box hit. Would you say Shaq as he's the only HOF'er amongst them. Or would it be the Prime Patch of Jason Terry? You'd hope not...the auto's maybe? Ford and Rautins, underwhelming to say the least.

Oh well, lesson learned. Back to singles hunting again for me, but please, PM me with what your after from above. I will be putting up more detailed list of other Certified cards from box tomorrow morning, but for now, I am going to cry myself to sleep, or otherwise I could just keep thinking about the Preferred Booklet.

Thanks for reading, sorry to have disappointed with the Certified.
 
OK so here are pics of the Preferred. Sorry about the delay, (technical difficulties), but hopefully worth the wait. I know the Booklet surely is.

So firstly the Hayward /99

And then came the Cazzie Russell, a beautifully numbered 23/25

And then there was the jewel in the crown. I think I'm in love:hearts: Booklet pic in two parts due to its awesomeness.

Doesnt quite make up for the load of crap in the Certified Box, but its still one of the nicer patches (Shaq's and Robinson's are sooo thick)

Enjoy the view:)
 
What is the theme behind the Slam Dunk booklet? Being that it has McGrady as Hawks, in a Toronto uni and looks like a Magic patch :confused:
Haha, yeah I am not sure either. Same with Shaq, it has Magic above his head, while having a very obviously Lakers patch (but its an absolute ripper, so I'll let Panini off on that one). And Carter has Mavericks above his head, he looks like he is in Toronto Uni, and not sure where his patch would be from.
