August Pickups
 

Man, the July thread was busy! Good to see lots of new incoming pickups to people's collections. Let's keep it rolling in August.

For me, This Shaq does well with the retro design and photo that makes non-licensed still work well.

I love it when non-licensed look good - just like this one.

The card looks nice, but I don't like Shaq becoming so "lazy" for many years for signing the abbreviated 'graph.

yeah it's kinda weird, he's done many of the lazy graphs now, with one exception - the 2023 topps chrome non-licensed and some of the topps "3" autos. They were classic old school style with the jersey # too. Not sure why he went full out for those but nothing else, not even in the Panini era.

I think Shaq's eventual signature is dope. Basically an S and an N. Guy is a genius.

Hate to burst your bubble but it's triple double trouble

ISO JOE!! I’m a big Nets fan

Great pickups y’all.

Something just hits different with topps chrome reds. That indeed is a nice unlicensed design, I just wish they did something with the backgrounds. Are they unable to use in game photos that avoid team logos?


Great iso Joe patch! What’s that numbered to? I might just not be able to see on my phone. I’m typically not a nameplate guy, but that huge patch window makes it look great.

My first additions of the month:

I really like Donruss this year. Incredible foil work on both the base and hardwood masters. Same looks shines great in hand and of course lasers never miss.

Sorry couldn’t add a second photo. Always nice to add a cheap, low numbered cousins And that sapphire foil. [IMG]https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250805/7dba23fe63511080260d019ea20ac3f5.jpg[/IMG]

It's /25. R and O from the front of the jersey.

Really happy with this one. Was hoping all the autos would be on card and they are, Topps really nailed it. Came in this week from redemption. Submitted in May so pretty good turnaround time.

Some pickups from this month. I didn’t realize the Harper was a jersey match until after I paid for it, so needless to say I was pleasantly surprised when I made the connection.
