Awful title haha
Haven't made a mail post in quite some time, so I figured i'd do one. As some of you may know, I pretty much only collect Bargnani, and Raptors autographs. I focus mainly on rookie Bargnani cards, plus high end stuff from the other years. As for the Raps autos, i'm trying to obtain a Raptors autograph from every player that's ever played a game on the team. It's a big task for sure.
As always, i'll add a song for you guys to listen to (your choice of course), and hopefully you enjoy the show. This mail is some of what i've added over the last year and a bit.
Song:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4k_b4lXHLes
I enjoy Post Malone, and this track is pretty relaxing. It's a little different from his other stuff, and I don't necessarily like country music, but this has some of that flavor I suppose.
....
And now the cards....
First is a bunch of Raptors autos that i've added:

Oliver Miller - This is his only certified autograph card i believe, I was patient for one to pop up. Happy to add this one for sure.

Nathan Jawai - I got these two autographed myself, as I sent those pictures to his Australian team, the Perth Wildcats. Thanks to him and the team for sending these photos back to Toronto!!

Uros Slokar - He only has 110 certified autographs. 100 of the /100 copies of this card, and the 10 of the parallels numbered to 10. This is is #ed to /10 and was way too expensive, but I had to grab it. After buying it, another one popped up for way cheaper ha.

Lucas Nogueira - Current Raptor, decent player. Had to snatch a nice hard signed one of him, and did just that.

Lou Williams - He was great in his 1 year on the Raps, really fun player to watch.
http://i186.photobucket.com/albums/x11/joesakic19xx/PC%20-%20Sets/Toronto%20Raptors%20Autographs/025_zpsyrok9klg.jpg (http://s186.photobucket.com/user/joesakic19xx/media/PC%20-%20Sets/Toronto%20Raptors%20Autographs/025_zpsyrok9klg.jpg.html)
Greivis Vasquez - Same with Lou, he was fun too watch. Not the best player in the world, but was a fan favourite here.

Bruno Caboclo - We'll see if he ever pans out. Seems like a good kid.

Darrick Martin - Was never a big Martin guy, but he was a solid veteran while he was here in Toronto.

Maceo Baston - For this one, I owe a huge THANK YOU to myusasets on here. Through an interesting route, I reached out to Maceo, and we met up during last year's all-star weekend and he signed this card for me. myusasets sent me this card for free, as I was in desperate need to find something for Maceo to sign. I won't forget the gesture, as I probably would've paid like $20 for it in that pinch. Thanks again, and thanks to Maceo who was actually REALLY nice. This is me and my sis with him:

Now onto everyone's favourite Italian 7 footer lol. I honestly don't remember the story on many of these, as some were acquired over a year ago, but i'll try my best on the top 5. I got a few others over the last year, but these are my favourites.

/10 - Still not a big DeMar guy, though I truly do respect what he's done for the Raptors throughout his career. He's very reliable these days, and a bonafide all-star obviously.

A mini batch of Exquisite cards. I know it's a lot of people's favourite set, but I really love these cards. Hard signed autos, and just clean clean clean designs.

06/07 Topps Triple threads is the devil. I should probably have these in my top 5 as they are rookie year 1/1s, but man there are sooooooo many parallels in this product that it's hard to appreciate them all. Maybe when i'm done getting them all i'll appreciate it, maybe. Still obviously really happy to add them though, super tough finds.

Hat auto /25 - Same with triple threads, this set is a maze to complete too. The worst thing is that it's so hard to differentiate the different cards. Sometimes it's obvious, but at times it's annoying to tell if it's a hat, ball, or jersey relic on the card. Two more cards left for this product, so almost there.

Red hot jersey /25 - These Hot Prospects cards are probably the hardest ones to find from 06/07. Either someone is hoarding them, or the product wasn't busted too much. Rare Bargnani cards from this set pop up way less than other sets. Happy to add this one for sure.

/700 - Again, i'm not the biggest DeRozan fan, but this card finally completes the letter set, to spell out the full DEROZAN name. I bought a bunch of these many years ago, and kind of just sat on them. Going through my stuff the other day I realized that I was only missing one letter, so I found one on eBay and bought it. Nice looking cards for sure, and it feels really good to finally finish the set.

5 Star auto /10 - Rookie year, 5 autos, numbered to ten, it was a must. One of the harder cards from this product for me to find. Glad to finally have my copy, and knock it off the wantlist. It's always funny to look back and see who's featured on these cards.

1/3 - To MANY people, this card is the Ultimate notepad for scrubs to doodle on haha. To me, this is a card that i've NEVER seen before, and hadn't even have it on my wantlist as I figured it was never produced. When it popped up on ebay it was like I had just seen a ghost. I was worried about Thabo collectors maybe bidding this one to the moon, but that wasn't the case. I won it pretty easily, and now i've got another Saer Sene autograph for my collection WOOT!

Thank you if you've made it this far. I enjoy making these threads, hopefully some of you like them too. I'm sure I made many typos, sorry for that, but i'm not going to proof read this haha. Like always, if you have any rare Bargnani cards, i'm ALWAYS looking to add more. I still need a bunch of stuff from his rookie year. If you've got anything, please let me know. I'll make it worth your while for sure. Take care!

/10 - Still not a big DeMar guy, though I truly do respect what he's done for the Raptors throughout his career. He's very reliable these days, and a bonafide all-star obviously.

A mini batch of Exquisite cards. I know it's a lot of people's favourite set, but I really love these cards. Hard signed autos, and just clean clean clean designs.

06/07 Topps Triple threads is the devil. I should probably have these in my top 5 as they are rookie year 1/1s, but man there are sooooooo many parallels in this product that it's hard to appreciate them all. Maybe when i'm done getting them all i'll appreciate it, maybe. Still obviously really happy to add them though, super tough finds.

Hat auto /25 - Same with triple threads, this set is a maze to complete too. The worst thing is that it's so hard to differentiate the different cards. Sometimes it's obvious, but at times it's annoying to tell if it's a hat, ball, or jersey relic on the card. Two more cards left for this product, so almost there.

Don't love plates, but they are still rookie year 1/1s.

One more haha. Always liked Bosh, so it's a cool card to have.

Red hot jersey /25 - These Hot Prospects cards are probably the hardest ones to find from 06/07. Either someone is hoarding them, or the product wasn't busted too much. Rare Bargnani cards from this set pop up way less than other sets. Happy to add this one for sure.

1/1 - This card is on the list solely on how awesome it looks. Everyone loves shiny, and this one is hella shiny.

/700 - Again, i'm not the biggest DeRozan fan, but this card finally completes the letter set, to spell out the full DEROZAN name. I bought a bunch of these many years ago, and kind of just sat on them. Going through my stuff the other day I realized that I was only missing one letter, so I found one on eBay and bought it. Nice looking cards for sure, and it feels really good to finally finish the set.

5 Star auto /10 - Rookie year, 5 autos, numbered to ten, it was a must. One of the harder cards from this product for me to find. Glad to finally have my copy, and knock it off the wantlist. It's always funny to look back and see who's featured on these cards.

1/3 - To MANY people, this card is the Ultimate notepad for scrubs to doodle on haha. To me, this is a card that i've NEVER seen before, and hadn't even have it on my wantlist as I figured it was never produced. When it popped up on ebay it was like I had just seen a ghost. I was worried about Thabo collectors maybe bidding this one to the moon, but that wasn't the case. I won it pretty easily, and now i've got another Saer Sene autograph for my collection WOOT!

Thank you if you've made it this far. I enjoy making these threads, hopefully some of you like them too. I'm sure I made many typos, sorry for that, but i'm not going to proof read this haha. Like always, if you have any rare Bargnani cards, i'm ALWAYS looking to add more. I still need a bunch of stuff from his rookie year. If you've got anything, please let me know. I'll make it worth your while for sure. Take care!
