I know Topps Echelon ended up being a bomb of a product when it came out. It was supposed to be Topps big high end brand, but I still really loved the base cards and I was able to pickup the Duncan Gold off Ebay

Super Excited about today's mailday, Flagship Black Parallel came in

I love Echelon. I got really lucky and found a Jermaine O'Neal for my PC a few years ago for like $10.

Nice one! Yep, I've always like Echelon, think it gets a bad rap because it tried to compete with UD's high end offerings

Found one of these on COMC recently for cheap considering that there are only 71 in existence. Mostly because many people hated Panini Instant. I have a handful of "moments" cards that I truly love and want to remember! Hard to believe it's been 7 years! I remember watching this happen on tv. It will look nice next to the other Dame I posted in another thread last year! And although I know my comrade @AbraCalabro doesn't care for the company that made the card...if my old @$$ mind remembers correctly....He has even more disdain for the team that went home that series....yes? LOL

Pretty cool mailday today. Trademark Moves has some pretty sweet All Star Patches. I used to own a Dirk/KG/Duncan triple but when I sold off my original collection years ago, it was one of the cards I sold. When I came across this on Ebay, I had to get it. The Shaq and Dwight patches are great!

^those jumbo refractors hold a special place in my heart.
My cousin passed suddenly a few years ago, but he bought me 3 boxes back in the day including a 98-99 Finest. Hit the Kobe jumbo refractor.

Still need the non-subset Rubies, but just got this one in

Today's Mailday

An oldie but goodie. I wish I hadn't waited to so long to pick up an 1987 base as those have exploded as well, but this will do for now



I know Opulence didn't really take off as a desirable high end brand, but I think the base cards look super nice, especially this Holo Gold numbered to 10. I love the black background, kind of has a black ice effect. Numbered to 10 rookie, of the two time MVP, I'm definitely pumped to add this to my collection

Today's Mailday

I like the Kobe. Great action pic.

Small collection of recent pickups...

This first one doesn't seem like much, but it took me roughly 2 years to find. I've only seen 1 other copy surface on eBay, and some other psycho outbid me.
