Great start and super excited to see more! Crazy seeing baby RoLo on those All American cards. I wonder how many people have side PCs that are essentially super collections :lol:

I'll agree with the Chronology praise; just a really well done canvas stock set. Here's a great link deep diving into a ...

This is straight up awesome, what a stunning binder! Honestly, I love the fact that this platinum foil is what Panini ended up using on their 1/1s. Kind of a cool connection to the present; it'll be interesting to see if Topps incorporates the platinum foil anywhere (not sure if they already do in ...

Anyway, let's go Knicks.

His basketball takes may be questionable but I find Nomad charming haha

Here are some detailed photos of the lot. Tried not to make them annoyingly large, hopefully I didn't overcorrect and make them annoyingly small. Probably should've gone chronologically in some capacity but I kinda just went in the order I process them. I know most look at a lot of low value inserts ...

Very cool, thanks for sharing. I'm somewhat surprised it's not more universal, but I'm sure for big sets like this they just compile together whatever they can. The All star game ones seem much cooler to me.

Love the Timmy finals addition, tough to beat a card chronicling and containing finals word material.

My first 24-25 laser for my collection. I like it a lot more than I thought, might join 16-17 as my favorite vet laser design.


Woah! That's a real attention grabber! Let me get my sunglasses ...

It's crazy that the Pacers/Bucks have now played 20 games in 2 seasons. A lot of animosity there. Happy that Haliburton (of all people) closed it out. Cleveland is gonna be tough!


Great patch! I'm really looking forward to the Indy/Cleveland series. Hope it's a good one regardless of outcome ...

Thanks for sharing, that clears it up. No idea that existed, but really awesome because every time I put a thin card in a mag I'm scared I'm pinching the edges. That's really cool.

I tried to process my big lot of cards that I added, but was too overwhelmed to figure out how to share it, so kinda just gonna summarize it here. Maybe I'll take some pics as I add to my Kings/player binders and update this post.

170 total cards (55 numbered most of which are rcs, 102 inserts/rcs ...

Huge close out by Indiana last night, though bittersweet seeing Haliburton hit that game winning layup haha

I was happy to see the Pistons push the series to game 6 in Detroit. Let's see if the Rockets and Lakers can do the same. Hopefully they can make the series competitive

Excuse the ignorance...are the cards in the sleeves inside the mag or the sleeves on top/bottom of the cards in the mag?

Great series so far, the playoffs have been really, really entertaining, even in series that are 3-1. And who knows if Morant doesn't go down if memphis holds their game 3 lead and makes that a 2-1 series with a fully healthy team and a home game Saturday.

Bittersweet to see the Pacers take the 3-1 ...

Some additions I would make without thinking too much:

Preferred Statline Memorabilia Booklets:
My love for these is no secret, I like 15-16 the best because I think the small design details are best executed. 14-15 is the only year with vertical orientation. Without going into excruciating detail ...

I know Panini is not popular here but as it comes to a close I have found myself reflecting on the era. Particularly because my main PC Kemba is exclusively panini and rather unlikely he would carry any post playing cards.

Thanks for making this thread. I started collecting during Panini's first ...

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.


Yeah, his podcast and conversations are the ones that ...

Finally put up my Grizz. I will spam you with this set until you’re sick.

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

Fun fact, Derrick Rose was 9th place in MVP voting for the 2020/21 season. He had move MVP points that year than LeBron, Harden, Kawhi and Westbrook combined.

Anyway, here is a 2nd year Certified Base Emerald /5


Absolutely LOVE 09-10 Certified. So nostalgic for me (I started collecting in Jan ...

At the end of the week, I have a huge lot of parallel (mostly numbered?) and inserts coming in that'll add a significant chunk to what I've already shared, as well as Gerald Wallace, who I haven't shown yet. But I'll show the Crash stuff I have now, and then just have a post with the entire lot ...

Really great pickups everyone. Love the Giannis additions; he's one of those players who just looks so different now than he did when he entered the league.

Always love the electric gold pickups Abra, one of these days I feel like you'll inevitably find yourself somewhat close to the set!

Speaking ...

Honestly looking at them again, it does look a lot more shiny, but I am a sucker for aesthetics, it's such a clean design. Plus...purple and gold, sick combo...although as a Kings fan, I'm guessing purple AND gold are enemy colors lol.

I want to get a Chrome gold of VC, or KG at some point, since ...

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.


Awesome post man, thanks for letting us in your head a bit. What really sticks out to me is what you mention about baseball. I don’t ...

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 ...
