Default Wilt Chamberlain /5 Auto

I won this card by "accident" last night when goofing around in Razzes. It's serial numbered 5/5 and comes from Gold Standard.

I don't collect basketball cards and just thought it looked cool and everyone was just waiting for one last spot to be filled so I went in on a gut feeling. I have no idea what I'm going to do with the card once the warm fuzzy feeling of winning it wears off since it would look funny in my Bears PC. lol

Basketball cards are completely foreign to me. I was just blown away at what his autographs were bringing on ebay when I looked last night. Is there any way someone here could help me out on setting a value on thid thing without seeing it? I can't even find a picture of it on google.

Any help would be great!

We'd have to see a picture in order to properly evaluate the card. Something tells me it it is likely a fake, probably because Wilt only had a few known certified autographs. It may be a Scoreboard fake as well...

Gold Standard? So it's presumably a cut auto? If so, I'm surprised I haven't seen any photos of this card in their promotional materials.

auto? is it a cut? he passed away long time ago. I am not aware he has an auto in any gold standard release. I don't think gold standard has any cut auto.

Yes, as far as I know its a Cut. Like I said. I had no business in the Razz I was a little tippsy to begin with and on a high from a Walter Payton I had just won... I wish it were recorded but the IM from the guy said it was Gold standard.

Wilt Chamberlain died in 1999......................................
Gold Standard is only a few years old.............................
LOL
You can't find a picture of it on Google because it doesn't exist, or your entire story doesn't exist...

If this is the real deal I'm impressed by the fact that Panini made 5(!) of them.

What? Why would I make this up? I go by the same name on Breakers TV.

In fact i will bet you a year long signature to be made up by the loser, for the other that I post a picture of this card next week.

Razzr was the one who razzed it at around 10:00pm last night.

Tell him to send you a scan or pic or something.

He won it via razz so he doesn't have in-hand yet.


I believe him, though I think it's just one of those ugly cut autos from Leaf or something...

Well, part of the reason I'm asking is because I looked the guy up by his screen name last night in google because he would not verify goods in paypal after i payed him to print a label. And it came up with a bunch of other fairly nice basketball cards on ebay by the same seller name. I wanted to ask more about the card since I saw what they were asking for on ebay. No reply as of yet.

No Wilt on there though. (he may have removed it after I won it in a razz)

I just wanted someone to correct me and tell me it was something else and not what I "thought" i won. I looked at sites to see if I could locate it on a checklist with no luck.. I know for a fact it said 5/5 on the back though.

Would you mind sharing this person's Ebay ID with the rest of us?

avoz28 is his seller name.

I have no doubt I'll receive my card. People vouched for him when I asked why he was not replying to my IMS and my buddy said he saw him in other rooms at the same time. I'm just trying to figure out what one it is lol. I'll admit. I am new to Razzes. I have done a lot of breaks but just got into the razz part.

How do you know for a fact if you haven't seen it but only received an IM saying what it is? Did you see it on Ebay? There's not a completed listings on any Wilt's /5...

I know for a fact that I saw 5/5 stamped on the back when I decided to take the last spot.

That is the entire reason I did it. If I win something I don't collect.. I want it to have value.
