If pictures couldn't do any justice to my Baylor letter "B" patch, it is an understatement for this card. I don't think any pictures could ever do any justice to this card... from the pics, it looks like there are scratches on the holder, and the light is just messing up these photos big time. These Solid Gold cards truely need to be seen it person. I couldn't have imagined the beauty of these cards until I actually held one. :) I can not stress enough how great this card looks in person. It looks like a million bucks! This is truely a historic set that Panini has created, and one of the greatest sets ever in our hobby imo. I'm now part of the super elite [SIZE="5"][COLOR="Orange"][B][COLOR="Yellow"]"SOLID GOLD CLUB"[/COLOR][/B][/COLOR][/SIZE] :)!

Shout out to Reid (sportscentury) for offering this card to me. I really appreciate you letting this card come out of your collection!

Happy collecting to all...

Thanks my friend! Just a little.... haha :D

SICK PICKUP GIO!!! I can only imagine how sick that card looks in person, I know that the gold label gives it a nice finish! :)!

How can it be the "pickup of a lifetime" if it's happened twice?

if only it was made of real gold....

oh wait :-)

Thank you so much my friend, I really appreciate that! Yeah, the gold BGS label definitely goes well with the look. Double gold is better! :)!

[QUOTE=murrke03;4472011]if only it was made of real gold....

HAHA... oh yeah, I forgot to mention, this is REAL Gold!!!! :flex: The whole card is made of 14K Gold! :cool:

[QUOTE=blastman;4472089]you can wear it on a chain like flavor flav[/QUOTE]

Oh my goodness, great minds think alike!!! :D

I was thinking about getting it customized.... and wearing it at the up coming National Convention! :)!

Just saw this, very nice...Do we get to see the solid gold next to the letter? I wonder if Elgin has one of those nasty Topps jumbo legendary laundry tag 1/1's?

WOW, Congrats Gio.. That was a REAL Precious Metal Gems.. A REAL Ones !! Solid Gold...

[QUOTE=blastman;4472089]you can wear it on a chain like flavor flav[/QUOTE]

Thanks a lot my friend, I really appreciate that! This definitely brings my Baylor pc to a whole new level... and so happy to have it.

Those Solid Golds are nasty and it doesn't hurt that its of Elgin Baylor either. Thanks for sharing, that card is fantastic.

Another super sick card!...Congratz bro!...If you ever want to sell this one or the "B" patch let me know!...

Beautiful, beautiful pickup Gio! Congratulations on adding this to your Baylor collection. I am very happy for you. :)!

Very nice card! One of the best cards panini has made.

I always wondered if you are going after every Baylor card?

How many cards do you have of him? I would love to see a type of super collection of him.

[QUOTE=Kosmo Kards;4478890]Those Solid Golds are nasty and it doesn't hurt that its of Elgin Baylor either. Thanks for sharing, that card is fantastic.[/QUOTE]

Thank you so much my friend, I really appreciate that. I wouldn't get any other player.... or maybe I would :D These cards are VERY sweet, and I wouldn't mind a second if I liked the player.

[QUOTE=forgiven1;4479769]Another super sick card!...Congratz bro!...If you ever want to sell this one or the "B" patch let me know!...[/QUOTE]

Thank you my friend! I will definitely let you know if I ever do... it would definitely fit right in to your pc.

Thanks! Yeah, Panini really did something great here, one of the best sets ever imo. Wanna talk about "precious metals"?.... :D Next they should do platinum, and silver haha

No, i'm not a collect every card type of collector, I would go crazy with all those cards. I already have enough cards as it is. I did buy a few autos of him in the past, but i'll probably start trading some off as i've started to make little mini "pc's" of each player, where I collect 1 auto, 1 gu, and 1 RC. I'm working on a site where I will showcase all my cards, it was about time I got a bucket!

A truly exquisite card. I'm glad it is in your collection.

Sweet pick up sportsitup!

One of the greatest players and one of the worst gm's ever.

Thanks again, Reid! This card looks so pretty next to my other Baylor cards... so happy to include this one to the collection. Thank you
