Agreed. So many on my watchlist I’d buy with free/minimal shipping of players from 90s-2000s. No rush to pay $5 shipping for a card worth $2.

A modern one for me. Well spent $2.50 for a Badgers fan to go next to some Dekker, Koenig, Kaminsky, and other RCs.

Got a few oddball cards for my PC. Really don't know where to look for some of the even stranger cards I need. Well, I saw an uncut sheet of a rare oddball Smits card I need, but $300 is out of my budget. These three cards are from Beckett Marketplace. Is there any place that may have more? I have scoured eBay, COMC, sportslots, and Beckett Marketplace. Think the remaining cards will be an adventure to hunt down.

discodanman45 · 04-27-2023, 06:49 PM

Two recent additions. The auto is the 2004-05 Fleer Geniune Buyback and the Ausome was a card that I stumbled across. Haven't seen many of them.

I am up to 67 different pack pulled Smits autos now. Panini has made collecting for me annoying!

Got this for $11. Russ is my favorite player and Black Velocities are my favorite Optic Parallel. I have a near complete run of Russ' Velocities so far, just missing the 2019-20 one.

Nothing beats the 90's Atomic Refractors! Topps Spectralight and Stadium Club Chrome Refractor. Buying one Smits card a day until I can't find one under my $20 budget of a card.

Getting a good laugh out of this bad boy! Was reminded of its existence in the thread about best sets from the 90s.

On the contrary, I remember wanting one when I was 13!

My 70th different Smits auto card. Panini is out of control and makes me buy way too many of these things. :P

All good, different tokes for different blokes.

Think I was like 14. Also remember how this was right when memorabilia cards were really being pushed to the forefront.

To this day I don’t think the timing was a coincidence since this was also when Arena Design was leaving the fray. Couldn’t rely as heavily on out and out design anymore.

Am I crazy or is it way harder to post pics from flickr than it was a few years ago? Is it easier on tapatalk?

I recently switched from imgur to flickr and unless I’m missing something, I don’t see any way to post the direct image url via the ios app. Literally have to use desktop. Very annoying.

nice the dunking dutchman!

jplarson · 06-02-2023, 06:01 PM

The Finest card was picked up for less than half the going rate because of crease on the back which I knew about going into it. Still looks great!

Love Shareef cards bc he is in a lot of great insert sets and is generally the cheapest "get in" option!

Haha, bingo! Keith Van Horn is another one; my sole Noyz Boyz back in the day.

Chris P · 06-06-2023, 07:15 PM

Got this for around 15 shipped, I really like the look of these parallels

True, and given the colorful Grizzlies jersey, his inserts always stand out.

A few autographs purchased in the past 6 months or so, of some players that I enjoyed:

Cliff Robinson, Michael Cage, Mark West (I hadn't seen any official autos in a NBA uniform but the picture is nice and was only $2) , Buck Williams (# to 1000 or so), Paul Pressey (#/99 or so), and Chucky Brown.

Makakilo Cards · 06-28-2023, 02:13 PM

Found both of these recently on Comc for what I think are poverty levels. A couple more jersey numbered Iggys for the the collection en route from Redmond,Wa.
