Howdy folks....Been 9 months since my last mailday and in that time I've picked up a whopping 7 cards!


This Rome certainly wasn't built in a day!
Only 2 cards needed now for the big 200...

I'll get straight down to it.

It seems an age since I landed this....

Cost me $25!! Damn....

Here's a a triple I landed off COMC - I now have 7 of these trademark moves cards of different types, only about 30 to go!

A mate of mine Dennis picked this up from a US only auction and immediately thought of me...
Took a whopping 6 weeks to arrive - This $7 USPS first class service isn't quite up to it's name...

It's a red version #21/50....

Now onto some better stuff....

I landed this one off a Polish collector...Was pretty cool to land it as I already have these...

#21/79





In my first 50 odd #21 cards I picked up a heap of these Fly2K Garnett parallels - I hoped to try and land the whole set jersey numbered but it's quite happened...
Any I do have 5 silver #21/100 ones and these two #21/25 ones...

and I've managed to add another....

Only two to go and this one is from the Golden 90's!

Not a massive card but it sparkles and shines and I won it for a crazy $7!!!

It's 21/400...

And finally one with a terrific theme for my collection....

A year or two back I landed this card....

and I also have the pleasure of owning this one...


http://i20.photobucket.com/albums/b202/ljandkg/Kevin%20Garnett%20-The%2021%20collection/KG305.jpg

Both smart looking 'Number' themed cards...

A month or so back I hit a crazy BIN for this one....

Paid through the nose for shipping but it was worth it..

Awesome card - my 6th 21/21 card overall and my 22nd jersey numbered Auto...

The card has a horrendous grade of 7 for corners - I just don't see it Should be graded a lot higher in my amateur eyes.

So I own BOTH Garnett Significant numbers autos. GArnett wasn't in the 05-06 set...

So only 2 #21 cards to go before 200...

Then I am done. Done. DONE.

If you of any Garnett timberwolves #21 cards anywhere hit me up. Kinda hoping for a big one for #200 but whatever will be will be!

Cheers Al

Cheers guys - I got my first jersey #'d card (04-05 Exquisite auto patch 21/100) in 2004 so it'll be a 10 year crusade later in the year....

Kudos to a fellow KG collector and fan! I've been collecting his much earlier, way back in 1995, his draft year. GL on your persistent search for more...

Thanks bma.... I tip my hat to you - 1995-2014 - that's nearly 20 years of KG - not many have done that either!

Probably my favorite collection on this board with the guy collecting the Exquisite of Iverson.

Amazing PC and admirable quest!

Looking myself for 24 jersey #ed cards of Paul George :D

Pretty crazy. But sux when player changes jersey number since I'm assuming ure not collecting his newer #21 cards since he is not in uniform anymore.

I have a dual auto patched Garnett and Dwight in case u decide to go for the #5 jersey number chase
