As I said earlier, I found my #1 want today: Michael Jordan's only game used basketball card. There are many Auto jersey's /23 from 1998 and beyond, but only 90 Game used balls.

I found a bunch of other RARE Jordans, so more to come as far as updates!

phdbeckett · 07-26-2024, 06:03 AM

Some other big ones knocked off my chase list:

This card is a GHOST! you just don't see them. Maybe 10-20 exist? Maybe. Only 3 ever graded by PSA, and 2 by BGS, and this one is the highest grade!

I just need the one of a kind, but I completed the run of Jordan FDI cards! All 9s or better 1993-1998.

1997 is print run /200, 1998 are actually serial numbered /200

A few "steals"-

Nice stuff phd! All of this stuff would catch my eye but I'd mainly be playing in the "steals" realm.

Wow @ the Jordan, Hank/Griffey, and Pujols autos

While I didn't find the super high end 90s Larkin cards I was searching for, I did pick up a couple I didn't have.

All Larkin:

1999 Bowman Chrome International Refractor /100

1997 Circa Rave /150

2001 EX Essential Credentials Now /299

1998 Topps SportzCubz Test Issue Prototype

I will post pictures when I get home and can get some good shots of them, as well as posting a bit of a story about the SportzCubz issue.

I'm super stoked because the SportzCubz is only the 2nd I've ever seen.

I only picked up three cards. I’m most happiest with the Babe Ruth jersey card. I wanted one with a photo of the jersey that Donruss used for the card and this was one of the only ones on the floor. Most other cards are pants cards with some or no wording to the effect.
