My favorite era of basketball is coming to a close and its got me expanding my collection with players from my generation. I haven't posted anything new in a long time so here it is. Thanks for looking.

I don't buy much Panini but I love this simple design and surprisingly the sticker doesn't bother me. I gotta give it to Panini on their low end sets, they make them fun to collect and have some really cool inserts.

Fleer Classic '61 was a great pickup, has a printing mark but I dig it.

Another iconic card, the slight greening is kinda lame but I love the 10 centering. There is only like one other card graded by BGS with a 10 centering.

Here's another Panini set they executed perfectly, with the game used date. Glad to add a patch of Tim.

I remember opening many packs of 03-04 Finest at my LCS. I was happy when I pulled the /999 LeBron and still regret selling it. I also pulled a Udonis Haslem gold /25 and was in awe of the design and how it popped. I'm a sucker for gold refractors and these are the best looking ones I have ever seen. One of my dream cards is the Kobe in this version.

I'm gonna try to get as many of these as I can (not the jersey ones), so let me know if you have any.

Been wanting one of these cards for years but never got around to pulling the trigger. Gonna replace BGS holder sometime cause it has some issues.

The Classic 61 is awesome. I love the 1961 design and love the simple foil addition on the Classic 61 cards.

Those Finest Gold are some of the nicest looking cards ever made IMO. Stunning patch on the Duncan! Great pickups!!

Man, few cards match the beauty of the original atomic/gold refractor design. Those "Heirs" are amazing, loving the AI you picked up.

Thanks fellas! It's unfortunate that some of them do the greening thing but I still enjoy it. The centering was a killer on a lot of these.
