Finally found a stamped version that was well centered / not overpriced.

Love it. The more Raptors the better!

This page is loaded already. That Penny Rising Stars is beautiful. The Ibaka is just, I mean I've stated my opinion on those Hoops 1/1's a million times. They're amazing. Seeing them in this thread continues to blow my mind. The lot from Cervantes is sweet, really like the PG13 patch. And then that Lowry lot from COMC is why COMC is so good for collectors. Had all those cards been individually listed on eBay from all the different sellers, the shipping charges would have doubled or even tripled the total cost of all those cards.

I've gotten a ton of new stuff in the past 2 weeks, most of the cards individually fit well under the poverty threshold. I've still got like 12-14 more cards incoming but I'll post what I've gotten recently.

Nice abra, your copy looks like it's in even better shape than mine.

I have another couple pov grabs incoming including an 00-01 Beam Team that's actually not scuffed and another card from a long appreciated set that I've never seen in hand.

I was really happy to see Oladipo in that set, and even moreso when I saw the picture they used. I was going after the Vinyl 1/1 but someone outsniped me on it. I thought for sure my snipe of $155 would be more than enough to win it. I was wrong. It sold for $158.09. I was pretty disappointed in that because I never really go after rainbows or 1/1's but I was determined to complete this rainbow. I'm guessing the 1/1 doesn't pop back up on the market.

For now, I've got the Gold, Red and Silver. Still gonna try to pick up the Green /5 and Blue /49, just in case that 1/1 ever appears again.

That sucks. But keep your eyes open. Happened last year. People bought up Gold Vinyls and they started popping up for auction in the summer.

A couple nice looking finest Green refractors, then this UD exclusives gold /25 rookie parallel

New to the Forums and have really enjoyed searching this thread. The deals some of you guys find! I thought I’d post my own Steal of the week. Picked up this 17-18 Cornerstones Card of Patrick Beverly on an EBay auction for 5 bucks!

Welcome to the board, and really nice pickup.

[buckunteer]

Man you guys are CRUSHING IT on this page. I haven't had a good poverty mail day in quite some time I gotta find some time to dig on sportlots and COMC for some refractors/set fillers/low-end Mitch needs or something!

[Hallco]

I had to look, because I could not remember the last time I acquired a basketball card! It was March 11, 2018(an Iguodala 5x7 Court Kings Box topper art thing that I paid $2 + shipping for) I found this during a recent search as a BIN. I guess since I only paid a dollar more than the jersey number... I figured it still qualifies as a "poverty" purchase! Just came in the mail. Yes, my pictures STILL SUCK! Also interesting is the fact that it is my 5th "5/xxx" jersey numbered card of this particular player!

[AbraCalabro]

WAY too much to quote, but hot damn, what a great page this has been so far, I agree with buckunteer.

Also welcome back Cervantes and Hallco!

So i thought this package was lost. My neighbour showed up tanned and back from her vacation and handed me a "been wet", dirty, chewed up bubble mailer. Apparently it was on the ground with half the mail from her box that over flowed while she was away. Some how, by some miracle the cards inside were packaged tightly in team bags and free from moisture damage. Very happy to get this one.

I know. At this point it's a broken record. Anunoby Hoops 1/1 - $19.99



Also in the package was this small lot for $1.25
