So as most of you would know I have recently added the Warriors to my team collecting due to the difficulty in trading for Wolves I need these days. As some of you may also know Aussielaker's son is urging him along in building a Lakers collection, and as Dave and I chat regularly about basketball and what we are doing hobby wise, we I decided it would be fun to make it a bit of a race.
The first milestone is 1000 different cards, with the lofty goal to include 100 different jersey cards and at least 50 autos. This might be the tough part for me heh heh. Now Dave does have a bit of an advantage funding wise, but that doesn't mean I am not prepared to do everything I can to make this entertaining. Plus I do have organisation on my side, I could win purely for being organised enough to be the first to prove it
Current stats as they stand for each team:
Warriors (wolvesjr34)
466 Total Cards
17 GU/Patch Cards
7 Autographed Cards
Vs
Lakers (aussielaker & his son)
424 Total Cards
10 GU/Patch Cards
5 Autographed Cards
So, who do you think will get there first? Have at the poll and feel free to post comments of support for me for I am awesome... or for Dave who is using his son as a tool to win points has an adorable son urging him to collect again.
Tough one, I think collecting Lakers would have the slight advantage cause I suspect there are more cards released in Lakers uniform than Warriors uniform ie the recent Kobe Anthology.... However, nobody collects the Warriors so you might get a shit load of unwanted cards.
Get back to me with an actual total and get scanning your base (photographic/scanned evidence is required to win lol) and I will see what I can do to that opening post

The base/insert count was well over 2000 before I sold it all off to another Nuggets collector when I decided to focus solely on autos. But have been picking up others here and there lol

All Lakers and all Warriors cards past and present? Lakers is a shoe in to win in a landslide if he really wanted to buy bulk lots lol...having said that, if either of you guys are looking for Warriors or Lakers stuff, hit me a PM and I'll rummage through my cards and work out something..
top page updated to include my recent editions and the Anthony Morrows I have from the Golden State Warriors. I have a number lead but still need significant GU and auto numbers to get this done.
