Gator back-to-back title PC thread

jmmintz · 02-09-2021, 05:11 PM

I've got fickle collecting habits, and recently have renewed a little focus on some Gator stuff.

Here's a little back-to-back PC - the five guys who went back to back for the Gators and made the league: Horford, Noah, Brewer, Taurean Green, and Chris Richard.

I decided to focus mainly on three sets - Exquisite, SP Authentic, and Hot Prospects and the main releases. Below will be any parallels I pick up along the way.

INCOMING:

Exquisite

SP Authentic

Hot Prospects - COMPLETE

"Extras"

Hot Prospects Blue /10

Hot Prospects Red /25

Other Exquisite stuff

SP Authentic Retail Autographs

and for good measure...

Great stuff! I've been a Gator fan a long time and will always treasure those back 2 back titles and players. I bought a box of 07/08 Chrome on release day and my auto was a Taurean Green Cyan plate 1/1. I was so amped! I sold it years ago though. Looking forward to following this ��

That team was absurdly good. Legends.

Nice pc, you've got some rare Horfords there! Triple autos of teams that resonate with you are the best. I love Noah's auto, fits his persona perfectly.

Thanks! Horford was my main PC guy from that team so I've got a few hundred or so of him, including some 1/1 stuff.

There's an auto from UD Black from that year that's got Horford/Noah/Brewer PLUS Billy Donovan; I'd sell one or both of my kids to get that one, but I've never actually seen one.

Nice stuff, JM. Can we post our own Gator stuff also?

Nice - I've got a few of those I know...I think Brewer, Horford, and Green maybe.

Here’s some Billy D to round it out.

I think I have the L somewhere. And Spurrier autos wound need a separate thread.

I had a box of cards stolen back in 2008, in it was a bunch of common cards of Gator players but also a UD Black quad auto of Horford/Noah/Brewer/Billy Donovan. I was never able to find my stolen card nor find another one for sale. It was numbered to 10.

Just...ouch. That is painful. I’ve never seen one anywhere...

Bump as the Horford SPA and Noah Exquisite landed in the mailbox today.

As a UCLA grad from 2007, this thread makes me want to curl up into a ball and cry.

Damn those Gator teams were good.

Hah - sorry. I suffered through the Gators getting our brains kicked in by Nebraska in the Fiesta Bowl my freshman year, so I know how it feels.

jmmintz · 04-08-2021, 08:58 PM

Bump for Taurean Green SP Authentic.

BlueXtreme · 04-08-2021, 11:56 PM

Hey bud. I had a similar chase back in the day, as I was lucky enough to be down there when they won the second time. I have an Exquisite gold RPA of both Noah and Brewer.

ClipsandVols · 04-09-2021, 07:14 AM

Awesome cards! I really enjoyed this team when they came to Knoxville. The games were always hard fought but the Gators were a really solid group of guys. No a-holes, just tough (and really good) players.

It was also really cool watching Humphrey come back to town, get booed before the game and then watch a good portion of the Tennessee fans celebrate every time he hit a shot.

jmmintz · 11-29-2021, 06:30 PM

Haven't gotten any new ones in a while, but had a bit too much to drink during the Gators pooping the bed against Mizzou last week and ended up overpaying for this:
