As most of you know I normally collect the older guys from the 90s and before and don;t really have much hobby love for the new breed besides Q-Pon of course... Anyhoo, wanted to have a look at some recent product so decided to buy a few cards of the younger guys which allowed me to see some of the new product in hand (I don't bust a lot) so it was a bit of a novel experience.
Gary Forbes Hoops Auto - love the fact this guy went to 2 colleges, went undrafted, bounced around 2 D League teams, Italy, Phillipines, China, Venezuela and Israel before getting his shot in the 'big show'!
The 'other' big Aussie - thought this guy was going to be the best big guy in the NBA but his college career kind of went backwards from a sure fire mid 1st round pick, to 2nd round pick and ultimately going undrafted... *accidentally bought twice*
X-Man Xavier Henry /399 - still has plenty of upside since he left Kansas as a freshman, should be getting more burn instead of Austin Rivers....
Kevin Seraphin /399 - athletic big man finally starting to strut his stuff....
Chris Singleton - another of the Wizards young and athletic front court players...without much 'Basketball IQ'. Typical Florida State product?!
E'Twaun Moore - classic tweener, but the guy has heart! Love the look of these wood autos too.. no sticker crap either!
Eric Maynor /125 - great game but plagued by injuries - the real PG which OKC needs!
Moe Harkless - Stole this guy deep into the second round for my fantasy league keeper team - so glad that he got dealt to the Magic is getting some floor time. Very versatile player, if he can hit the long range J consistently - look out!
Tyler Zeller - like the cut of his jib - solid as a rock! Not going to be a star but definitely will be a solid starter down the track for many years...
Nicola Vuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuucevic! Dwight who? hah hah
Johnny Flynn /49 - how this guy still isn't in the NBA is beyond me! Must get to see one of his games while he's still in OZ!
This guy keeps following me around.... Ever have a player who you seem to keep ending up with? Pulling him in packs or in my case making trades and deals for him as part of a bigger arrangement?
Damion James!
/399
/30
#3/5! - ...just loved the jumbo patch!
Emmmmmm Kaaaaaaaaaay Geeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!
Hyped up rookie and hyped up product - normally my queues to walk away! lol
Finally - The Beat Down!
Hasheem 'The Nightmare' Thabeet all /699
Thanks for looking folks, comments always appreciated. Apologies for the novel - still have several more maildays in me! Just getting around to my backlog of scanning...
Nothing PC so all up for trade if they're wanted.
