Naz Nubzz on Instagram: The best 90's collection out there?

[hobbytime]

https://www.instagram.com/naz_nubzz/

He pretty much has the best 90's collection on Instagram and should be called Mr. 90's basketball?

I haven't seen anyone come close to him. He just pulled an Exquisite Collection Jordan auto patch too.

Whatever this guy does for a living, he is loaded with this collection.

[minnesotachill]

I can think of a handful of collectors out there who would put his to shame.

Nat is just 3-4 PMG Greens from completing his set.

[Inferno]

Correct me if I’m incorrect but didn’t this guy just show up during the boom and brute force buy a lot of this stuff? I’m less impressed by guys who show up with money and buy everything in sight than I am with the lifelong collectors who would spend decades curating a collection organically.

You are not alone.

Aside from Nat, Spino and Tristan come to my mind for some reason. Hope that they do alright lately.

[GOATMJ]

Nat, Spinotron, MrB, Stephen Go and a few others have a much bigger/nicer collection than Naz.

Like someone mentioned above, Naz and the Candy Bros just recently got into the scene. They have a lot of money so they just bought up everything. Some of their knowledge of 90s cards are not accurate either.

Ummm… not just their knowledge of 90s cards

No… him and his brother have been around before the covid boom. You just see more of it bc all the influencers these days.

[rimshaqer34]

The Naz brothers were around way before Covid, but yes not as "exposed" as the OG collectors. They are definitely collect cards back then and seems like when extra $$ more available to them then I would do the same. I mean I've been collecting since 93 and that time $$ is limited, if somehow I got big extra $$$ I would just buy up every Shaq grails pops up in my way LOL

Better 90s basketball collection? Tristan might have a top MJ auto collection but 90s collection??

Naz has pretty top notch collection. Just because they arent in the spotlight getting attention and pimping at 1000% level doesnt mean they lack in their quality.

Naz and Hychang5 are seriously under rated in terms of quality of collection because they simply dont advertise as much as the other guys.

When was the last time you saw a card like this ever pop up... Only seen it in hychangs collection

I do agree there are a lot of great 90s collectors out there, and I think Naz is definitely one of them. The brothers have been around prior to the COVID boom, they weren't really as public about it as others.

Even with all the money in the world, it still takes a lot of time and effort to locate and acquire all the cards Naz has gotten in the past few years. Getting all the PMG Reds and PMG Champs is no small feat, not even talking about all the other sets he's in the process of finishing (pretty much any other 90s grails out there).

Others may have a single better 90s completed set (spinotron with his 1997 Essential Credentials and Nat with his PMG Greens and being the first to complete the PMG Red set for example), but in terms of the wide variety of rare 90s sets, Naz is definitely hard to beat.

I've also traded many cards to help Naz with his collection, and he has helped a ton with my collection as well. He's also been a great addition to the hobby.

naz is a great dude, super helpful and does what he says.

Wow I haven't even heard of that one, looks like it's /11. That card is epic!

The regular film at 11 is readily available. The "Top Story" parallel is super rare /11.


Also wanted to say mksportscards also has a top notch collection on IG. Another person who doesnt get mentioned much but is right up there with the top collections of quality

I am with you. :)!

I second this 100%! He’s putting together the 98/99 Metal PMG set. He messaged me because the Darrell Armstrong was one of the last ones he needed. I collect Armstrong and had one. We talked for a while and I told him that I’d trade it to him, but would need an Armstrong Championship PMG in return. He’s not a star player but the Championship PMG is much more valuable than the regular 98/99 version. He contacted people, secured the Championship PMG and next-day delivered it. I was floored. I’d been searching for that Armstrong for 20 years. Yes, he has money, but he’s a hobbyist through and through who will go out of his way to help collectors find their dream cards.

[Digerati]

I don't care if they are are long-time collectors or rich dudes new to the hobby. If they have a passion for the sport and collecting cards then good for them.

[Nomad]

but wait aren't these the guys who make cards unaffordable? confusing

[Kobefan]

but wait aren't these the guys who make cards unaffordable? confusing

Nope, that would be the influencers, breakers, and investors. If a collector truly wants/collects a card and is willing to pay the money, it wouldn't be right for me to judge them for simply having a bigger budget.

Isn't that beautiful. Instead of a parallel being:

gold
silver
blue
green
orange
red
purple
pink
purple wave
pink wave
blue wave
gold wave
orange wave
red wave
blue shimmer
gold shimmer
orange shimmer
red shimmer
** FB
** Fuscias
** Lavas
Zebra
Elaphant

Checker
Red/Black Checker

They made something unique and interesting to the insert set in question. Way to go Fleer, way to go

Nat Turner has a better 90s collection.

Spinotron does also.

[jzx1103]

Naz Nubzz is an absolute baller when it comes to 90s high end. He doesn't low ball you for your stuff either when he's interested in buying your stuff.

[dizzy4111]

Looks like he got that Dirk Rubies that sold a bit ago

[Kobefan]

Nat Turner has a better 90s collection.

Spinotron does also.

Spinotron has better kobe collection and a better collection, if you include cards from 2000s and onward, but I don't think he has a better 90s cards collection.

[GOATMJ]

Spinotron has better kobe collection and a better collection, if you include cards from 2000s and onward, but I do';t think he has a better 90s cards collection.

Spino probably has the best KOBE collection. Nat has an overall bigger collection and certainly a better JORDAN collection.

[JewVol]

Spinotron has better kobe collection and a better collection, if you include cards from 2000s and onward, but I don't think he has a better 90s cards collection.

Was just talking value not depth and scope of collection.

[Kobefan]

Was just talking value not depth and scope of collection.

Me too. I checked spinotron's website, my guess is that 2/3 of the value of the cards he has are auto/jersey/patch/logoman from 2000s onward, and it's simply my opinion that the remaining 1/3 value of his collection, which are 90s cards, are valued less than what the other guy has.

Naz is on an all-out bender. I think I'm in the wrong business lol. Guy is acquiring grails left and right. Hychang isn't the only one that has one anymore. Maybe Naz bought hychangs copy? The serial on both cards looks very similar, hard to tell but maybe it's #7?

Naz also posted the ONLY Starting 5 of Kobe in the entire PSA pop report:

spinotron, nat and naz are all nice guys. They have helped me in the past.

[dizzy4111]

The Top Story looks like the same card

[90sbasketballin]

Great guy and I love his collection! I could only wish to have a collection like his :)!

[duron]

Also uses Kurts special sauce. Wonder how many “grailZ” he’s ruined.
