I think the Essentials line is really good looking, unfortunately I don't think any of my guys were in these sets, except for a couple cards of Shawn Kemp.

I also really enjoyed their Prizm stuff, but not all the years because they just got worse and worse as time went on, too many parallels. Even ...

Couple big men from 92/93's finest. Got the Shaq from Duron for approximately $0.00

These cards are SOOOOO cute omg

Got this in very recently, courtesy of THE HOOKUP from our very own Duron. As president of the Nickel Card Club, I have to say this is a classic example of collectors helping collectors. He didn't ask for anything for it, he JUST sent it.

BIG...and I mean a big 7'1 303 pound addition to my curated ...

u guyz, omg, these are so cute

Today, we've got the Great White Hope himself, KVH

Nice!

We need to get kukocitb over here.


Thanks dude and yes I agree, but I think he loves IG. These guys just need to post here more often, deadshot should post more ...

Had a (probably underwhelming) mail return after vacation I shared here:

You know how I feel about those SP auto jersey cards, great addition on the cheap. The Collison Hoops glitter is gorgeous though, another example of why I wish they ...

I've been looking forward to getting this card in and it came in today. I love unique game used cards and I remember Kyle from Wax Museum Podcast had one of these and I thought to myself "Man, if I ever come across a copy, I have to get one of these cards. Sure enough, one went up for auction last ...

I got back in around the pandemic. Working from home is great but sometimes boring so I collect to break up the monotony. The whole thing has the drama (sometimes good and sometimes bad) of wrestling or a thrilling TV series... IG - It's entertaining to say the least. It's cool to see passionate ...

I also wonder how these dealers are always getting new inventory, seemingly every few weeks some of these big IG accounts are always showing off their new 100k of pickups. And they aren't getting them from auctions, and they are looking to liquidate the pickups immediately for a profit. Who on ...

I have a lot of scattered thoughts about CardLadder. Hopefully it can come together to form some modicum of coherency.

1. I don’t understand its existence. Why does anyone feel the need to pay to view comps when resources like Abra referenced are freely available? I gotta think it’s the CL ...

Got this bad boy as a freebie from our very own, dengbang, big thanks there as it completes my big three for the Utah Jazz.
This one scanned so nice:

...and we've got the X-MAN himself, which I think I completely forgot to even ...

Today, we've got the Great White Hope himself, KVH

Damn, even these have gone discolored. You're building some cool stuff.

Hopefully I'll have some stuff in soon that I can show off.

Sweet set build dude.

Do you need any supplies for Tobacco cards? I have some that I'm not going to be using, probably ever.

What got you into this set? I know you mentioned the budget for something like this is different than baseball from the same era, but are you into history? Or just like the ...

Maybe it just shows the current state of things, that this doesn't even sound all that bad to me. If you're going to let 1 person or a couple pretend people hype up a card and that alone influences you to spend more, well then you're kind of to blame IMO. Many accounts on IG hype and pump shit ...

Even reading that old forum post, I haven't the faintest idea of what Nick U did. I don't know if there is some type of "hobby cabal" but I'm too new to know the history. I'll buy anyone a coffee if they're willing to go in depth on the history of it all but you gotta name names.


There ...

Reading these kinds of posts always feels like a much needed detox for my brain from the IG machine. IG just glamorizes money and status. People fawning over people who would slit your throat to make a few bucks. I will never understand why people look up to these so called "dealers'. Like OMG ...

Last mailday of the month. The late 90's jersey sets by Upper Deck are still the best memorabilia cards in my opinion. Picking them up still feels like a big deal. One day, I'd like to own one from the very set 1997-98 set, but for now, a Hakeem Olajuwon from 1998-99 will do

https://live ...

Do you think it does more harm or good for the hobby? I think if they deleted the "CL Value" is would be great, but trying to guess the value of a card seems really really stupid to me, let the collector make their own decision without outside influence.



Card Ladder and unpaid items, worth a ...

Dude was setting false comps and pumping specific cards/sets decades before it became the cool thing to do. No wonder all the guys who have majorly profited off the hobby these past few years look the other way and hang around him. Some of them probably look up the the guy. What a sad "hobby ...

This came in the mail over the weekend and I am still trying to find out what it is. I plan on framing it for display in my office. There is a set of ripped apart cards from this release on eBay, but no sales. It looks like it was an in-arena giveaway from the 1988/89 season and Bill King (Bucks ...

The LeBron sale was the Silver Knight version. I haven’t seen a Black Knight LeBron since 2015-16ish.


Damn, I was going to say, that doesn't seem TOO bad for a LBJ Black Knight, but that seems like quite a bit for a silver lol.


+1 on Rising Stars, and the set looks so good all together like ...

Lol, just seeing this. Kind of took a break from everything for a bit but i'm back!

I hear you loud and clear on that!


Did you take a break from everything because you were abducted by aliens though?!?

The Lillard is a Silver Knight. I don’t have any of the Black Knights, but it looks like they did black on black for those based on the Thomas (pic below).

I do know there are a few others collecting the set and I was able to do some trading about a year ago to help fill some holes using ...

...and since I'm logged in, some VC in the house. One of my favorite, straight forward designs, in parallel form. UDX 10th Anniversary.
