Default Hoarding at one of its finest... Rondo Style

Was looking for a high res scan of a Rondo Number Pieces and stumbled upon this gem of a picture.

He (not the kid, but his father) actually sold off those Rondo's gradually over the past few years

Dude used to buy every Delonte West Autograph too. You could sell his SPA Auto RC #/1499 for like $30 to him back in the day

His collection was insane to say the least!

I picked up one of his Rondo Number Pieces /9 a few months back. It's a beauty in my opinion and really an underrated card.

Yea i was about to say, if that collection belong to that kid, then he's one spoiled kid with his parents allowing him to spend thousands on card boards. He probably didn't lose money on the collection since i think he sold a lot of them during the peak.
But its hard to super collect a set since the more u collect, the rarer they become and the value starts going up. Tried to super collect the brandon jennings RAP but only got like 15% before i had to give up.

I was surprised to see him slowly sell what he paid a fortune for. Lost a lot of money in the process.

Seriously amazing picture. I'm wondering if the 3 exquisite in the bottom left are the parallel of the base RC? Also, really nice card UltimateDeron. Your taste is always sublime
