Trade day, freebies and another big catch up mailday, some of my nicer stuff for sure!

[skip20]

Been doing deals and making trades like nobody's business!

First up some freebies from trade day and some OCT members who chipped in to help the PC along.... Sanctum, matty83, Mr Papp and aussiemjfreak made sure my trade day was a happy one! Good to meet the other OCTers too, help put a face to the names and avatars... Top blokes us South Australians!

Shout out to KB too for some Q-Pon RCs - always keeping an eye out for choice Qincy's for me!

Starting out with the lower end stuff and working my way up!


Base and SP

Q-Pon Prestigious Pros /299, Stockton Ultiamte Legends /499, Stockton Gold Record /299

Set Chases

Decided to do this set chase 07 08 HP RAPS

Alando Tucker /599

My now aborted set chase of Classics Membership Patches, both of these /49

Kevin Johnson /49

Mike Bibby /49 - check out the protrusion - patch is literally leaping out of the card!

06 07 Fleer EX Rookie Autos - this set chase has slowed down to a crawl. may have to give it up too :-(

Kyle Lowry /399 on card auto

My Court Kings Boxtopper set chase has got its second wind - regaining momentum! 70% complete - only 15 left to go!

Jermaine O'Neal /349

Dan Majerle /349

Magic Johnson /349

Side PC - Dunk Champs!

Desmond Mason SP Top Prospects on card auto

Fred Jones Flair Final Edition auto (significant damage in transit - no OCT members involved!)

Fred Jones Topps Finest RC on card auto /999 - pretty sexy cardboard!

The obligatory Spud Webb Spectrum auto /49

Spud Webb Epic Signatures - BIG on card auto - niiiiiice!

....and my first Dominique Wilkins auto! Ultimate Collection /99 Slightly off sticker, but hey, beggers can't be choosers!

To top things off this massive Vince Carter Fleer Marquee Feature Presentation jumbo patch / film cell /250 To summarise this card is the about the same size as two ordinary cards which gives you an idea of how big the patch is! Best bit is its game dated to 2 November 2001 when VC dropped 25 points, 5 boards and 7 assists on the Suns....

The PC guys - the 'alright' stuff

Stockton Chronology 'Stitches in Time' GU /99

Quincy Pondexter Prestigious Picks auto /249 - so many parallels I've lost count!

Quincy Pondexter World of Sports auto - pretty hard to track this one down!

Quincy Pondexter Threads Rookie Collection patch /50 - an upgrade from my one colour one break effort!

Quincy Pondexter R&S Freshman Orientation dual patch /49 - overpaid like a fool but like these patches!

....and accidentally doubled up on this. So now only 397/399 to go! lol

The PC guys 'respectable' stuff

Jason Kidd Classic on card auto /1500

Jason Kidd Topps Big Game Collection GU / auto /199

Jason Kidd Threads Century Stars auto /25

Jason Kidd National Treasures Auto /25

The PC guys 'so good I wish I could hide it' stuff

John Stockton Triple Threads auto /36

My first Oscar Robertson 1/1 - Topps Stadium Club Cyan Printing Plate. So nice to finally beat out some of those deep pocket Oscar collectors!

....and finally, the jewel in my Q-Pon crown so far! Timeless Treasures Apprentice Tag #1/5!

Thanks for looking, comments always appreciated and as you know more cards are always on their way for the next mailday!

And that Kidd PC is gaining big momentum!!

 

[kingjack]

Really nice haul Mr Skipper.

 

[gaz876]

ooh i'd love a pondexter threads prime /50 like that one for my set chase!! nice pickup.
i too have the one colour version

HUGE FAN of the Carter patch, he's dunk in the olympics is still the best dunk ever for me

 

[Strop]

Killer Dunk auto's Skip. I really like the look of the Topps Fred Jones card. Don't think I have seen one of them before. Wilkins is very nice as well and a PC tag!!

Love the variety as usual .

 

[Verse1]

So what exactly do you collect?

 

[skip20]

Very nice Skip!! Some sweet PC additions!

Thanks Ian, trying to share the coin around several PCs which leaves em a bit short on quality sometimes!

Sweet work Skip, love the new PC cards.

Which PC? ;-) Correct answer, all of them!

It's guys like me that keep guys like you in business! ...and yes better than being a Sandgroper!

Wheeling and dealing coz I love it - and just so you know, that's how I roll! hah hah

Really nice haul Mr Skipper.

Thanks Jack - I'm sure you still have one card I wouldn't mind hauling in myself! ;-)

Pretty difficult to get patches from that set I think, you can upgrade to my nice one colour yellow patch? At least it has different textures and some thick stitching..... Yes, that Carter patch is insane! not too much smaller than a normal card and where the three colours overlap it's as thick as a rolled up tube sock! HONEST!

Killer Dunk auto's Skip. I really like the look of the Topps Fred Jones card. Don't think I have seen one of them before. Wilkins is very nice as well and a PC tag!!
Love the variety as usual .

Topps Finest always does nice stuff, this has a nice chrome like finish and a big on card auto which I love. PC tag - my attempt at world's top 10 Pondexter PC - lol

So what exactly do you collect?

Cards, mainly basketball ones. lol

Now you're gonna make me sound silly but what the hell: PC players started with Mashburn in the mid 90s, bro collected Bird, Stockton and Kidd and I inherited his collection and just kept growing it. Got back into the hobby a few years ago and went after the Big O who is my favourite all time player. Started to lose interest after losing countless auctions and getting a bit bored with not having any new exciting kids to watch so got on board the Pondexter wagon to keep things interesting and to chase some newer product.

Set chases: Court Kings Boxtoppers, HOF Famed Sigs and HOF Famed Fabrics. Also currently trying for the Fleer EX Rookie autos but might have to sell up. Toyed with the idea of the Membership patches but definitely giving that up! 07 08 HP RAPs is the latest fad....

Actually I might sell up and put all my $ towards a nice Payton or Augustin PC - whaddya reckon?

 

[Verse1]

I'll rate that answer. I reckon your cupboard would be overflowing with cardboard. I want pics of the storage space haha

 

[KB.]

Awesome haul buddy. Love the q-pons as always, and gotta agree the world of sport autos are hard to find as I haven't seen an Aminu auto anywhere! Love the logoman tag the most tho, pure awesome

 

[postgsl]

Quality and Quantity once again Skip

Mmm, aborting the Classic Membership patch chase. Let me know what you want for the cards you already have. Since I have the game used set, going after the patch set may be what I need to re-ignite the collecting passion

 

[Mr Paparazzi]

Congrats mate on the mailday some nice nice cards there, was good meeting you mate, hope your at the next one. Happy to help you anytime with your PC or PC's

 

[skip20]

Nah, I do sell and trade some stuff too! All fits in one 10 drawer mini cupboard and a few folders. Have been trying to trim down the quantity and upgrade the quality in recent times..... Although not quite to the same standard of certain OCTers.... ;-)

Awesome haul buddy. Love the q-pons as always, and gotta agree the world of sport autos are hard to find as I haven't seen an Aminu auto anywhere! Love the logoman tag the most tho, pure awesome

Got a pretty good deal on the logotag and yes, those World of Sports autos are ridiculously hard to find! Still need a Next Day auto too!

Quality and Quantity once again Skip

Wow - that;s the second offer I've had on those! I've already got a pending deal with another member who has dibs but if that doesn't come through they're all yours Garth! You were there when I pulled the Timmy!

Congrats mate on the mailday some nice nice cards there, was good meeting you mate, hope your at the next one. Happy to help you anytime with your PC or PC's

Thanks Brett - was a great day will definitely be at the next one!

 

[ozballer23]

Nice pickups, sweet kidd classic auto and love the on card spudd auto too!

 

[BRONBRON]

Great mailday Skip. Congrats on the 1/1.

 

[Supercharged Collection]

Vinsanity patch is da bomb there Skip - I like that Quincy Apprentice Tag - as it is placed dead centered and not partially hidden under the card

 

[skip20]

Nice pickups, sweet kidd classic auto and love the on card spudd auto too!

I still think the old Classic and Press Pass releases are under-rated - just can't go past a big azz on card auto like that! Not exactly an Epic Signature but still nice and comparatively very well priced!

Great mailday Skip. Congrats on the 1/1.

Had to get lucky eventually! lol

Yep, if I have a VInce Carter card I'd prefer it to be in Toronto colours - if he signed that patch it would have made it the near perfect VC card. My first full NBA logotag - pretty stoked with it too. My other PCs may be severely lacking compared to others but the Q-Pon PC is holding its own fairly well!

 

[Essellohbeebeewhy]

boom! fricken epic mailday..love that stockton and the tag is epic and great get on the plate, always good to beat out the big guys!!!!
