I am glad you made whatever deal to get it as this is truly an epic card and belongs in my collection (I mean yours

)
Congrats

You can just slip these in with the D-Rose Silhouette you're sending me for free

I don't even know what to say about those cards. They're stunning.
I love Topps basketball cards

haha thank you my friend, really appreciate that! I remembered a great memeber, Mike(Celtics), had showed it back in 2010, and I remember asking him about it back then. We couldn't make a deal then, but I contacted him asking about it, and still no deal. But he was nice enough to say that I could contact him from time to time... he is a very nice guy, as top notch as they come! So finally I contacted him to try and make a deal and the deal was done. These things don't just fall out of the sky.....

HAHA...

Thanks my friend, I love Topps as well, and so sad they're not making basketball cards anymore. Hopefully they will get the license sooner than later, but I really hope they do get it at some point. I have time to wait.... Hopefully!

thats ridiculous. your pc is a mysterious and happy place in the forum where you never know what will pop up next!

jhill80 · 03-20-2013, 03:35 AM

That is a sick card! I think the only other julius erving logoman that I have seen was the lebron and julius dual auto logoman from exquisite. I saw it on ebay with a buy it now for $6000 a couple years ago and I had just sold my mj limited logo and was $1000 short in funds and couldn't come up with the extra to get it! I should have taken a loan for the extra $1000 now that I think about it! Congrats on the huge pick up!

SPauthentic84 · 03-20-2013, 07:33 AM

Gio,
Im really sick of you only showing off 1 or 2 cards at a time. The last couple weeks youve showed off some of the nicest cards in the hobby only leaving everyone wanting to see more. Quit being a jerk.

Sutantoj · 03-20-2013, 09:13 AM

Speechless .....EPIC

bigcwd2000 · 03-20-2013, 09:55 AM

Wow, that's an amazing card! Congrats!

Wings · 03-20-2013, 08:18 PM

Ive seen about 10 or so cards from your collection and i will say that you have amazing taste and cards. Ive also noticed you must be a big fan of this set. Great stuff.

That you Lisardo! I really appreciate the kind words my friend. My collection is actually not as mysterious as you may think... i've always showed my pickups when I got them, they're just out there somewhere. That's why I got that new site, so I can build a bucket type thing to show my cards in one place. I never did like photobucket, so I will go the website route.

Thank you my friend, I really appreciate the kind words. Wow $6000!? That seems like a robbery these days...

Seems that the card you're talking about these days would sell for three quatters of a million $$$ lol... so that puts my card at about 100K or 200K

haha too bad you missed that my friend, hopefully it will pop up for you some day.

haha... oh stop it!

Well I show the cards as I get them... sorry that I didn't get 30 cards at a time, i'm not rich.

That's why I purchased that website, so I can build a "bucket" to show my good cards. Will slowly put the rest, maybe... but definitely will put the "Unpriced Due To Scarcity" type cards. Thank you!

Thank you so much my friend, really appreciate the kind words. Yeah, that's because I always show my pickups as I get them in... but will be putting them all together in my new site I bought. It will serve as my "bucket." Yes, I enjoy this set, but actually getting tired of seeing the same type cards, because I usually get all different types of cards from all different types of brands, including Famous Fabrics and all that. This was actually my first "official" Logoman. I did have a Kevin McHale "logoman" 1/1 from NT, but it was from a laundry tag logoman, not a patch like this one. So the Erving could have been considered my only Logoman card, but then I bought the Bobby Jones to go along with the Erving, since they were teammates, Championship teammates! I did have an Isiah Thomas Logoman 1/1 from this same set, but I sold it as I also had his Laundry Tag 1/1 from this same Topps set, and didn't need both. I still have the Laundry Tag of Thomas. That's my choise for him.
