Great topic!

When I was reading through your post I was immediately thinking about Essentials Platinums, lol.

Below is a link to a post where I have a photo of one of my binder pages. I'm currently down to 9 left for my set!

This is a photo I ...

MVP Promotion! Kyle (Deadshot) got me into those years ago and i've been slowly building Nuggets sets of those as I find them.

I'll definitely keep an eye out for Kings MVP promos for you. They don't pop up all that often anymore sadly.

Another MJ Mailday

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 ...

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.


Thanks man! Could always use more supplies. :D


What got you into this set? I know you mentioned the budget for something like this is different than baseball from ...

Nice!

We need to get kukocitb over here.

Nice!

Not a mailday but I went to a local show here in San Diego. It was probably 50/50 sports and Pokemon, with the majority of sports being baseball. However, I was able to find a couple cool Giannis cards that I didn’t have yet.


Love the photo on that Donruss card.

I haven't been to a show in ...

It's hard to tell exactly, but the telltale signs of memory loss and dreams of aliens seem to be there. So, yes I believe I was..

First off, this is a great topic and I hope you don't mind that I moved it to "The Hobby" forum as I feel it fits perfectly with what I created this section for.


1. Is this bad? Is there a downside to Instagram being the main internet avenue of collector hobby consumption?



I first joined IG ...

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

How did the chase end up? You end up pulling one?

That would also be a great card for an IP auto.


I have purchased roughly 10 sealed packs and have yet to pull one myself. I did pull the sticker version a couple of months ago.

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

You'll like this one I think. Peep the serial #..

Years ago I decided to attempt to put together the complete 300 card set of 2012/13 Panini Silver Knights from the flagship Panini set. There were 3 parallels in this set Gold Knights were found in hobby and had the highest print run (unnumbered), Black Knights were found in Hobby and serial ...

Love these! Definitely a big pull back in the day

lmfao

birds of a feather man

amazes me that people think turner is a good guy, he's the same as the people he surrounds himself with

as for gonblott...what he has, himself, posted publicly is more than enough evidence to show what type of slime ball he is

that whole clique is garbage, they ...

Love that card. The laser effect juxtaposed atop the game photo is unbeatable. Not sure if you know I'm absolutely laser-obsessed. Interesting that you say that black is their go to 1/1. I feel like it's Nebula or Gold VInyl. Nebula just because of the aesthetics and gold vinyl because it is the ...

This one doesn't specify, but there's similar cards that state it comes from a Coat he wore

Ah, yeah that makes sense. Very cool.

96 Plat medallions are the best. I’ll let you know if I see one pop up.

I love the Flight Team cards, those rainbow parallels are super nice. For $25 you got one hell of a deal on that Iverson, congrats!

I have an Onyx of Tim Duncan. One of my favorite cards of his. I’d love to add a rainbow someday but they’ve gotten a bit out of reach price wise for me and rarely ...

well, kind of. They have the kind of embossing in the artwork that you get from like Finest or Chrome cards but the actual top layer of the card is slick chromium material. I ended up finding 1 of the last 2 that I need but it's pretty badly scratched up so I may have to find a different copy ...

Loving all the classic 90’s Kemp stuff Abra! Those IP autos are where it’s at, super cool.
