Updated 1/16/24
I’ve been slowly putting together this set since early release. Every year these cards are some of the cleanest and nicest Panini puts out. Acetate, game used even for the rookies, limited, and just a beautiful card set in my opinion. It started slow, and I didn’t realize exactly what I was getting myself into until a year in when I finally got to looking at the checklist. I recently moved and finally took the time to put them all together and see how close I actually am. 75 out of 88 by my count. What I’m missing is listed below: Andre Drummond /1 Russell Westbrook /1 Chris Bosh /1 Stanley Johnson /3 Tyus Jones /1 Kevin Love /1 Nerlins Noel /4 Jeff Teague /1 Isaiah Thomas /4 Paul Millsap /4 Monta Ellis /11 James Harden /13 LaMarcus Aldridge /12 Will Barton /5 Still quite a ways to go. Pretty much much hit a wall. I understand some of these may be in PCs, however I’ve got some high end trade bait if anyone has a 1/1 they may be willing to part with. Thanks for the look, and here’s one for the set collectors. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Last edited by BryBry; 01-16-2024 at 01:56 PM. |

Wow, impressive collection. As someone who is a completionist, I hope you get the full set one day. It's so satisfying to look at. Best of luck!

That's a really ambitious set to complete. Good luck to you - the cards look great.

Thanks for the kind words everyone.
Would love to have seen Garnett in this set. Kobe as well. There's only 4 retired players in this one, Earl Monroe, Jason Kidd, Glen Rice, and Bill Walton. Would love to know the thought process by Panini on who they put in these sets. |

I’ve been able to cross two off the list, both numbered 1/5. The first is Bobby Portis which I won off the bay tonight.
The second is Nic Batum. Shortly after creating this thread user TBarn291 sent me a pm offering to help me acquire it. He found the card on a Chinese alternative to eBay on his daily searches. He explained to me that more or less it would take awhile, but he had figured the process out and was willing to buy and ultimately ship to me just at his cost. He won the item back and September and last week I received it in the mail. Couldn’t have met a nicer member through a random set chase and I appreciate and thank you for simply wanting to help . ![]() ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Sweet collection! One of the toughest sets to put together. Good luck with the rest, at least you got a good amount of the shorter print ones out of the way.

Thank you, I appreciate the kind words.
I’ve got a second big set I’ve been working on for awhile, 17-18 NT Colossal Patches. It’s nice to pair these two up. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Once again a huge shoutout to TBarn291. He was able to pick up the Tony Parker to /9 for me once again off a Chinese EBay type of site. Won’t have it in hand for awhile, but excited to cross this one off the list. One of the true good people in this hobby.
Always looking to add and will pay market and anything reasonable above market value. Also have cards available to trade as well. ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I didn't realize you had updated more in the comments! Congrats on the Kyrie and Lillard, those are huge pieces for the set. Glad the Batum made it safely and can't wait to get the Parker to yah. I'm still kicking myself for missing out on that Iguodala. I'll definitely keep my eyes open for anymore on your list.

With TBarn’s help once again I was able to cross two more off the list, Cousins /15 and Wade /3. Thank you again my friend
Those two are still incoming but the rest is pictured below. I updated the OP with what I’m still missing. Happy Sunday everyone! ![]() Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
