That Penny might be perfect.

Grabbed these UD Premier cards for the low price of $12 delivered. And had to grab a Topps Bucks team card gold because that is what all of the cool kids do.

Jesus that Penny is nasty. That pic has been used a bunch, but for very good reason. One of his very best action shots imo


Finally got a Zone copy without holofoil loss, the one I had was weirdly missing it but only in certain spots. Great looking set in the right light.

And this is just an all time favorite of a set. MJ still on my list.

Great cards guys! I’m really liking Flawless this year. Those Finesse autos look great.

Holoview Special F/X I talked about on a recent Hoops Hobby Hangout. My favorite 90’s hoops set.

Here’s two big pickups for my Harris PC that I recently got in. Both from Zach (bdrr_sportscards) if any of you guys remember him from BO.

Man what a start to the month for y’all

Love those additions, Abra. Not sure why but I’m always happy to see you adding post 90s cards haha

Love love love the Bucks team card. It’s simple things like that which really make a difference for collectors. What team collector wouldn’t want their team’s card?

Nice inserts and Harris’, you guys did an amazing job capturing the shine on all those cards. Pretty crazy that you were able to add two huge Harris cards essentially together, Ryan

Oh, I suppose I should share my newest laser. This could be, considering design, foil, shine, photo, my favorite laser card: 24-25 Donruss Domantas Sabonis. Gonna have to grab as many of these different ones as I reasonably can.

Thanks dude, the Topps stuff is slowly growing on me, but still haven't made any purchases. I think the wood parallels are really neat. Just need to find some 90s players that are reasonably priced.

Thanks, yeah I agree, when I saw it, knew I had to add it. Everything about it just works, the auto is CRISP as well.

Probably one of the best pics I've seen of that Zone insert. Might have to cop one now. Congrats on the upgrade.

Wow congrats on the major pickups!!! That logoman is SICK, but they're both A+ additions.

Thanks man, much appreciated! This one's actually the silver, I think the silver works better with the Magic colors, but it scanned looking gold and I'm not sure why lol. Flawless really knocked it out this year, so many great cards. The LJ Finesse has a standout photo on it, 100% worth adding - make sure to share it with us when you grab a copy!

Many thanks, hey when a card is done right, it's done RIGHT! You know I love photography on a card and they got a good one to go with the design and theme.

Speaking of photography, EXCELLENT addition here. Puts you right into the game. Reminds me of the photography from stuff like 93/94 Stadium Club, they knocked it out of the park that year.

Finally finished the rainbow for both the base and variation Kawhi 2014 TC Mirrors.

I haven't completed a rainbow since early 2010s, there's a very nostalgic feel to it.

Sorry you missed out, the greens are super nice. The golds and silvers are also fantastic though if you're looking at either one of those.

Congrats on this huge completion! These are nicer than PMGs. Are the blacks 1/1? Great team color match.

Thanks for the heads-up, might have to pick up a silver copy just to have one until I can find another jersey match.

Thanks man! One of the few Panini sets that I had a chance of completing the rainbow. Yes both blacks are 1/1s, looks great in person! You know Kemp is in this set as well...

Silver or Gold will work nicely with Kemp as well. :)

The blacks being 1/1 makes the rainbow a flawless victory. The Leonard cards have great cropped photos that work with the design, must be superb to have in hand! I did get excited about the Kemp in the set until I saw the Kemp and they chose the worst photo for him to do a diecut. Meanwhile the Kawhi cards have a full photo - man, even the golds POP with the Spurs colors.


Here's another sweet pickup. Had to get the blue jersey swatch, may need to add the cut auto to go along with it.

Awesome! I have a lot of Kawhi cards from 2011-2014 and will always appreciate others who collect his stuff! :!:

LOL. How could I forget this, I remember when you linked it on BO.

Group pic! I realized after the fact that this is the wrong card order, but didn't care enough to fix it. Should've let Don West guide my hand.

Is that a good or a bad thing?

I think these look really good. Credit to Panini for once. Even if they do look just like 90s Stadium Club :D

I could honestly go either way. Maybe I've become accustomed to the cracked ice effect style they've used previously, but the slightly new look with the Harris pops really well. The Duren not as much.
