Still pick up Mashburn (as my first ever PC guy)... the next guys I collected were Antonio McDyess, Raef LaFrentz (yep, I loved the Nuggets then), Spree and Paul Pierce.... right now, I'm tryna get into a bit of BJennings (only in Bucks uni) and Nate Robinson.

Among my PC guys.... I only never pick up Raef anymore...still like a couple of Mash, Spree and McDyess whenever I can..

Still rocking my Pavlovic collection since 2003....and have one of the most extensive collections of a player possible. More than a decade later, finding anything rare or of interest is difficult because he simply isn't a player people will bother to list on ebay.

But, the collection is still a rocking one! Killer collection of the Sashameister

Now....Von Wafer, Tim Pickett, Al Thornton, Alexander Johnson, Bruce Bowen and Manu Ginobili for me. Though the latter two have been solid role players. It was fun not being a Jordan, Lebron or Kobe collector.

Thank you much sir! Plenty were donated by you and Randy over the years, and I've never forgotten this!

Looking back, for a company like Panini to be foreign, and love making base of scrubs and 3rd stringers, Sasha was only ever printed like x3 Panini cards.

I've been collecting Jermaine Taylor cards since 09'. I still pick up some of his short prints and/or 1 of 1 that are still out there. I would consider myself as a J.T. super collector(card wise)...lol.

Note: Let me know if you have seen any of 1 of 1 cards.

Here is my pc.

always been a collector of non-mainstream or as simple as "scrub player".I was back to hobby in 2011, started collecting rodney stuckey. Unfortunately it didnt last long. A traumatic incident, which was high-value missing mail put me on selling spree and all his cards were sold overnight.
after 2 month, I collected myself together or i shall say "the addiction" kicked in again, I decided to collect my favorite player in 0506 rookie class martell webster mostly for sentimental reason and affordable price. Once I thought it will be another lost cause and i would fall by the wayside. surprisingly till now He is still the only player I collect most heavily

I liked Martell's game, and remember having his Exquisite rookie for some time. Good to see he's still in the league. What's crazy, his mother went missing back in 1990, and is thought to have been a victim of the crazy BTK serial killer, Gary Ridgeway. I can't help but always associating him with this morbid tidbit now....

wow that mindblowing... I fell for him when he showcased some long range ability and occasional highlight worthy athletic play as a rookie fresh out of highschool. Glad he had been a solid role player in wizards before back injury

Greatest potential ever wasted on a player.

He does have some nice cards though. He was pretty much in most insert sets while he was on the NETS. He's got a couple of high end stuff from his days on the BUCKS

Penny Hardaway since 1996
Pretty much this. I also collected a lot of Mashburn, McDyess, Sean Elliot, Jalen Rose, Mookie Blaylock, Glen Rice, Steve Smith, Shareef Abdur-Rahim, etc.. and I've still got all of that stuff. Certainly not scrubs, but definitely lesser known players that I chose to collect when I started out.

X-Man! I started collecting Xavier McDaniel when I was a teenager. I stepped away from the hobby for 20+ years and recently came back because my 8 year old son expressed interest. It's been an amazing thing to do as a father/son activity, and I'm hoping my 5 year old grows into it with us. I bought an X-Man '86 Fleer rookie, and I've grabbbed up a bunch more since.

I collect Raymond Felton and Ryan Anderson because they are always nice to me IP when I ask for their autograph.

Shani
03-28-2015, 03:46 PM
For the record X-Man was far from a scrub, but his hobby value would make you think he was if you never saw him play. One of only 2 players to lead the NCAA/country in both scoring and rebounding while playing where? And who can name the other guy to do it? Don't cheat by using Google! Let's see who really knows their stuff...

And I love that X-Mans hobby value is low, allows me to grab up most of what I want for cheap. Like last night, 2014-15 Prizm Gold for less than $10!!! Not to turn this into a BST but hit me up on PM if you have anything X-Man for me!!!

Yep, took a hiatus from the hobby and got back in sometime in 2006. The only Pistons draft pick that year was Will Blalock so I started amassing a collection of his stuff and still buy it up to this day.

I used to PC Raef LaFrentz... although I didn't exageratedly over pay for any card of his, I guess by just merely buying Raef cards is considered overpaying at any time after year 2000 hahaha

I stopped PC-ing him in 2001 when I then focused on Pierce.. ever since then, I still collect him to this day

I have collected Dajuan Wagner since 2003 and have collected Dudley since 2007. Since Poopanini came into the picture most of the Dudley cards end up across the pond, but I am still picking up what I can afford.


Dajuan Wagner will always be my main passion. Well, that and Standing "O" Gold embossed die cut rookies........

I do, I've always collected multiple players, but Dijon Thompson was the first player I went on to try and get every card there is. He is from

2005-06 was in the NBA for a season, then in & out of the D league then went over seas if I remember correctly.

So lucky for me hes only got like 140-180 cards. Problem is a lot of what I still need are the damn 1/1 printing plates from topps total. I do need to get my list updated though. Would like to get my list out there to see if anything new has surfaced.

So if anyone has anything please contact me.

Sebastian Telfair since the day the Blazers drafted him. Just filled my first BGS graded box (over 50). of the 1000 cards of his I'm only missing about 50. I don't include 1/1's in the count, but I have about 30 of those.

I wish he would make a roster again, just so I could unload the collection. At this point I grind away, occasionally spending about 5 bucks on a card or two.

My first PC player was Michael Olowokandi. I sold the entire collection to a guy in France. Regret it just about every day. Then I moved on to Wally Szczerbiak which I still have but no longer pick new cards up. Now I'm in really deep on my Thaddeus Young collection.

LovelyLlamas
05-15-2018, 12:55 PM
In addition to Humphries I have also collected some players that are more or less afterthoughts. William Avery, Ron Mercer, Shannon Brown, Courtney Lee, Antoine Wright, Courtney Alexander, Jared Sullinger, Nik Stauskas, Gerald Green, Maurice Harkless, Ed O’Bannon, Roshown Mcleod, Khalid Reeves, Johnny Taylor. Most of them are smaller PC’s but they are pretty comprehensive and collectively combined for zero all star games lol. I just need Terry Rozier to become something great as I’m not batting a great percentage haha
