I got a few in today. The start of a new project I'll be slowly working on until Panini produces some cards of Haliburton in a Pacers jersey.

By my count, Haliburton has 19 different base cards in last year's Chronicles release. I have decided to track down the Blue /99 parallel of each of those cards. Today I got the first 3 cards for my chase. All were purchased for under $12 each. Hoping to keep them coming in at no more than $10 each so that this chase doesn't get too pricey.[/url]

Like it. That's a nice little project.

I’d have a nice Kobe to post but the seller sent me a graded $2 bill instead and has been unresponsive ever since, rofl.

Nice pickup! Really like the dual shots there and the contrast of the whitebackground with the colored on the left.. COMC has been great for picking up obscure low numbered cards of non-superstars. There's a handful of Kings cards i am contemplating picking up for under $5 numbered /5.

Great photo, so much shine. Anytime you can add something from a beloved set like that it's a great choice.

I was actually going to preface it by apologizing for the crap photo, lol.

The real sin here is the fact this was my first ever Spectrum pickup. The Pennies have been on my wantlist but the ones I’ve passed on had various condition issues.

Some better pics.

Abra made me obsessed with the look of all the Finite logos after making one his avatar a while back.

Ooh that Hakeem Raptors card is great looking

Looking good!

I love velocity parallels, got this pink for $11 total

John Collins is one of my budget PC players and I got this Red Optic Choice for $4 shipped.

The seller only listed it was /88 and didn't show the back of the card. So it was a nice surprise that it was actually a jersey # match too!

WHAT??? Are you friggin' kidding me right now?? I purposely seek jersey number cards of players I pc daily for 10+ years and find...,hmmm 1 or 2 every so often. But you sit there and buy 1 super cool looking, color-matched, low numbered parallel that might be a Gem Mint 10 from the looks of it and it just so happens to be Collins jersey number?!?!!?! You should be ashamed of yourself for even posting that $4 find on this forum lucky mcluckster!!!

Got this in a lot with a bunch of other cards, the stack was just thrown into a team bag, nothing in a penny sleeve. Miraculously this came out unscathed. Best part was that a 95 skybox mcdyess rc actually was sleeved - inside a card saver strapped to the cardboard that surrounded the stack. So weird. There’s a first for everything I guess.

It's a cryin' shame but I just accept it at this point. I actually lost the Penny gold refractor auction that just ended.... by like 3 bucks
The Dice is my consolation prize.

Lots always come shipped in the most interesting ways. My favourite is when they're wrapped in fast food napkins.

Agreed. My Reignman went green on me also. You'll nail the Penny soon enough and likely for much cheaper.

That's a new one for me lmao

[discodanman45]

Paid a little more than I should have for the sticker auto outlined in red, but I needed the match from the previous year. I think I am up to 70 Smits different auto cards including variations of the same card.

It was terrible. One of the Dominos napkins looked like it had a few grease spots too.

I’ve had napkins, paper towels, newspaper, and plastic grocery bags. Shockingly, stuff like that boosts the chances the cards are not sleeved/toploaded.

I’m extra disappointed just because the centering was so good. I was willing to pay over last comp but should’ve went slightly higher, I didn’t respect their tough centering enough. I’ll probably be able to save a bit on the next one that comes up but it’s almost a guarantee it will have worse centering.

Pepperoni grease helps with the removal of fingerprints. That’s a great seller that started the grading prep process for you.
