Thanks for the compliment! I will certainly let you know about the Big Ben cards if I find them.

If you can reply with what you need I would be happy to look for you!

Thanks! I going to try to get through a lot today since I have the day off! Stay tuned!

Here is the next box:

2004-05 Topps For days!

A few partial sets, missing lebron. I saw at least 2 Kobes though and all the "big" rookies are there. There are a couple of decent stars for the Black Parallels /500 (Nash, Sprewell, Tony Parker)

The All-Star Support set is more than half done and has the Kobe/Francis card, so that was nice!

[chelseafc11]

Some random stuff in this box including a bunch of 08-09 MVP Basketball and 09-10 UD Basketball. There are some baseball and football refractors, as well as a partial 2006-07 SP Authentic set with Lebron.

The 09-10 UD Masterpiece Inserts are my favorite of this group, along with the 3D cards.

I'd be interested in peaking through the WNBA cards when indyguy is done with them!

Yes, I'd be interested in looking at the WNBA cards as well (after indy and clips have gone through them).

Those are actually complete RC stacks as part of the partial sets, not just Dwight Howard. It would have been a lot of Dwight, I agreed, haha.

I am just putting all of the WNBA to the side for now as I encounter it. I will let you gentlemen know when I start going through it in more detail down the road!

This was actually from two boxes since there were so many cards from the same sets. There is way more 1996 UD Basketball than I know what to do with. I am pretty sure the 00-01 Fleer Futures hoard contains a complete set with RCs. The RCs were inserted 1:2 packs for the even #'d cards in the set and 1:7 for the odd #'d cards in the set.

I also believe that at the very least the 06-07 UD RC set is complete, I didn' t check to see if Lebron or Kobe were in the base set yet.

The 95-96 SP Holoviews were a nice surprise in the box!

Those Masterpiece cards are nice—real artwork on canvas-like cards

They are sweet. No Lebron or Jordan in the stack, but there is DRose, Larry Bird and a couple other stars not show. Not even close to a set unfortunately

A bunch of 03-04 products in this one. Obviously no huge rookies, but still some cool sets. The Fleer Showcase is a partial set with the Kobe missing. I can find a Kobe with some ease I will definitely keep that set as it is beautiful in person. The Fleer Authentix set has the Kobe, so that will probably be a keeper as well.

There are some Draft Day Rookies /375 and Crystal parallels from 03-04 Fleer here.

The 03-04 UD Rookie Exclusives Kobe Black and White variation is definitely a nice find!

This has been a very interesting thread so far, thanks OP for keeping us up to date through your digging! Are there any rare / #'d cards that you aren't taking pictures of because they aren't big names? I always have a closer look at your mid 00s piles in case I can spot any cools Barbosas or other Brazilians

I am picturing everything. Most boxes are like this, and every once and a while there is a box loaded with #'d stuff, refractors, GU, etc. Hopefully I can find some decent stuff of some Brazilian players for you!

Some awesome sets in here. Myystique, Showcase, UD Slam, Topps Gallery, and so on. There are two cheap Lebron inserts, go me!

I will look to keep a good amount of the 99-00 and 00-01 sets. The 02-03 Topps stack has a Yao but it is pretty beat up unfortunately.

yao-za

[chelseafc11]

This collection is incredibly heavy on the years 99-03 as you can tell from the stack of base cards. It will be interesting to see how many sets I can put together in the end.

This was the contents of 2 boxes. Many of the cards were bricked, with the fleer ultra sets being the biggest culprit.

My two favorite things in this picture:

1) The stack (~100-150) 02-03 Ultra Gold Medallion Die-cuts. It's a cool design and the photography for the set is fantastic.

2) The Ultra Photo Effex cards. Not sure why, but I always liked that set as simple as it is. There is a rare "masterpiece" parallel /25 which I obviously did not find, haha.

[chelseafc11]

This is the contents of two boxes - there was so much base from 99-00 Finest and 03-04 Triple Dimensions.

Highlights:

- There are three base sets (possibly more) of 03-04 Triple Dimensions
- Partial 03-04 Reflections Set with Jordan and Carmelo. Looks like it is only missing Wade and Lebron
- Lebron 2nd Year insert
- Tons of 2005-06 Reflections purple parallels with all the big stars outside of Kobe/Lebron/Jordan

Great boxes overall!

[mindcycle]

Wow man.. insane collection you bought there! I would have to take a month off work to find the time to look through half that, but probably well worth it lol. Looks like tons of fun!

I’m your man for and rare Nuggets stuff.

[HoustOM]

Hey have you seen any conVINCEing insert?
And Finest Producers refractors?

I am curious to see how long it will take to go through all this. My guess is I am about 20% done and it has been one week. I will surely let you know if I find any cool Nuggets stuff!

No ConVINCEing or Finest Producer Refractors yet, but I will be on the lookout!

This was again two boxes, one box had nothing but 06-07 UD Rookie Debut in it. More than I would have ever dreamed of owning, haha.

Highlights:

- HUGE stack of 99-00 E-X Base. Beautiful set in person!
- Small group of 02-03 Fleer Crystal Parallels /199
- Nash/Maravich/Kidd Rip card (ripped, but the mini card is still nested in it - Bill Walton)
- 03-04 Topps Matrix Minis - a few Double Doubles, but no mythical swish versions
- Small stack of 99-00 Black Diamond Diamond Cut Parallels. Absolutely underrated set!
- Random Topps Photoshoot Auto

[chelseafc11]

Toploaders! Updates coming soon!

[daeve]

oooh, excited to see what's in those

[chelseafc11]

Most of the toploaders containted the 05-06 First Row #'d Cards including the RCs, foil, and Black & Whte Parallels. It was nice to find a Yuta Tabuse insert!

[chelseafc11]

A bit too much glare in this photo

- Some 03-04 Fleer Platinum Finish parallels /100
- 06-07 Bowman Chrome Refractors
- 03-04 Fleer Platinum Scouting Report (cards open up - some have GU relics inside)
- Another random Topps Photoshoot Auto

[HoustOM]

Your 1988 starting lineup set is complete?
