Wow, those Logoman are crazy. Those 1/1’s are stupid sick, your PC is incredible. Great player and that’s The Truth!
Thank you for sharing your PC.

bma0215 · 02-24-2019, 07:16 AM

Worthy of praise. This is what collecting is all about.

bigbadballard · 02-24-2019, 10:06 AM

Awesome, simply awesome.

If you're ever looking to move this collection, let me know. I have a 2 year old son and 11 year old black lab to barter.

Edit: I'll throw the wife in as well

mikeex0114 · 02-24-2019, 10:19 AM

One of the best collections I've seen!! Definitely a fan of The Truth

Damn! I've never even seen one of these! This is my white whale. I’m throwing in the towel...

A few years ago I waked up one day and decided to open ebay app. This was the first thing I saw along with the card next.
90s 1/1s and especially rookie year 1/1s were once considered holy grail by many player collectors who collect 90s players. It's no longer the case today. The 90s today is all about PMG, rubies, credentials, even mass produced Chrome refractors. However this card and the next will always be my top2, even if value of the exquisite LLs surpasses these one day.
The bonus is a platinum that happens to be jersey numbered.

If I could own any masterpiece it would be this one. It just pops. Great stuff.

Thanks for sharing - I absolutely love this Pierce collection! So many fantastic cards - great work accumulating some really nice ones. I sure miss watching Pierce play - what a great Celtic.

I know it gets talked about often, but wow do I miss all of those great Upper Deck products from the past - not only in basketball, but all sports. And of course the late 90's/ early 00's awesome rare inserts. Panini can never duplicate what was created in the past by UD. I only wish I focused more on basketball back then.

the34truth · 02-24-2019, 11:13 AM

Thank you all for your generous comments!

Thank you. It's great to see other player collectors like yourself still around and it's absolutely inspiring to scroll through your list.

I did and wish I did not. Too bad I sold it at one point when I was disappointed by the beef among the trio after RA left.

Yes these under 10 copies just don't pop up. Hope you get yours soon.

Definitely agree. They are doing far from enough in terms of designs and photo selections, and now they start producing Pierce autographs on some plain products.

This post is dooooope.... THANKS OP!!!

2010GBPackers · 02-25-2019, 12:59 PM

My fave is the 2007-08 Exquisite Dual Garnett/Pierce logoman auto.

A close second is the '98 Credentials 08/09. I love low numbered stuff that aren't 1/1's for some reason.

Great, great PC.

ljandkg · 02-25-2019, 06:20 PM

Another truly great thread. Thanks for putting this together!
Any chance of a KG top 30 or something?

Jin · 02-25-2019, 06:45 PM

Uh.....

Lothar · 02-25-2019, 08:51 PM

Stunning collection and thank you for sharing it. I'm going to pick my jaw up off the floor now.

Acquired along with the Ultra from a long time Pierce collector who had them since 2000. Very grateful to have the row1 masterpiece. Will do a better scan one day.

The last two missing from Showcase are row3 and row2, which popped up in 2008 after the finals. Hope to find them someday.

This concludes the list. Thanks for looking!!

woah.
