Hope you all are having a great Thursday. Hope staring at some cardboard will help brighten your mood.

Some Pre Panini for your viewing enjoyment:

I have this card but it did not come with the certificate card from Upper Deck. Excited to have it.
Not a pre Panini card but an unlicensed Upper Deck card:

Really like this set. The black jersey with the red stripes is the BEST! Missed on the one numbered to 5 recently….BUMMED.
This is my favorite year of Crusades. Just like the design better than the others.

I have wanted this card since I saw it. It is a sticker auto and they just seem to go for more than what I want to pay. Got this for a good price in my opinion.

20 years in the making. I remember writing this in pencil on my list of cards I needed for my PC. Everytime I have updated my list eventually on the computer and updated and changed and updated it was still on the list. NOT ANYMORE. YOU WANTED IT NOW YOU GOT IT!

Without further ado
1997-98 Metal Precious Metal Gems RED #ed to 100. I feel like I should get a free trip to Disneyland after hunting this down..LOL!

Thank you SO much RYU for the deal! He is a GREAT guy to deal with and hope to do business with again. He gave me a good deal and threw in a bunch of other stuff.
Also thanks Randy for helping cardboard dreams come true. You da real MVP…

Those are awesome dude. Congratulations. The Red is stunning!!! :)!:)!:)!

[SteveO21]

Oh my! That PMG Red is grail'ish. That card looks especially stunning considering it matches the Bulls color scheme.

[Harper]

Love the compare and contrast and the pmg!!! That PMG is a monster. I wish my player was in the set.... but then again I'm glad he's not!! Player collectors understand....

[Harper]

Hey was that in the top 5 for you on your Kukoc wantlist??

I know the auto graphics cm /100 was atop my list over rarer cards until I snagged that

[DajuanWagner]

When I saw the last card, I thought it was a gslayton thread........kidding.


Glad I could help and I will continue hunting for you. It's all about the hunt.

Agreed. It is a struggle. Harper and Kukoc have been left out of many sets. Sometimes it stinks sometimes not as much

Thanks man! It was definitely a marathon. Do not usually have much to spend on cards which makes it harder to obtain.
