Starting a NEW PC!! The Big Ticket!!

[thorel29]

Decided during this lockdown that I would start a new PC!! It was an easy choice, favorite TWolf of all time!! Had collected him when I was a kid so I have about 40 or so cards already had but nothing major!! KG is mostly reasonable prices so I got some really nice ones in today and yesterday and have some other nice ones incoming!!

He already is.

Finest PSA 10 just ended 30 seconds ago (I was watching it) for $550

They are going up as I type this.

Very nice!

I love KG as a basketball player, played harder than any other player in sports that I can remember.

I collected him until I saw the way he treated children and then I dumped everything. Still love watching replays of his hustle on the court though.

was in a zoom session and missed the psa 10 w/ coating that just ended for 95' finest. so upset!

How does he treat kids?

So...how big of a mistake is it that Topps didn't make refractor RCs that year?

I hope someone got fired because of this.

It's weird bc they had been doing refractor RCs two years already. It's not like this was their first basketball product.

And it's also weird that they never had any test issues that escaped or rumored stories like that.

They just...never made any.

I picked up the KG, Kobe and Duncan some time ago, IMO super underrated considering the rarity (most psa 10s are peeled).

OP - love the Generation E-X most of those pretty cards.

I know he wasn't the main star but Uncut Gems was brilliant as well. Looking forward to his upcoming hall of fame speech.

The biggest mistake of 90s basketball cards second only to the chrome greening problem.

Got a couple nice ones today in the mail!!

That KG PSA 10 Finest really looks great! I still think those are underrated even they are in $500 range. I picked up one for around $450 a couple of weeks ago.

I saw him walking into TD Garden (I use to go 2 hours early to go to the restaurant in the Garden) and politely asked him for his autograph, he kept his head down and didn't say anything. I told my friend I know he doesn't sign so we laughed it off. I then walked up the stairs behind him and a young boy maybe 5 or 6 years old has a huge smile on his face and politely and excitedly asks KG for an autograph and KG doesn't even acknowledge the kid is there. Doesn't say a word. The kid starts crying and I found out the type of person KG is that day.

I loved watching KG and loved his intensity but I had a hard time cheering for him after seeing that.

Celtics don't win in 2008 without him. He got robbed of the MVP in 07/08, no reason Kobe should've got it instead of him.

Not a huge fan of him ignoring kids but I read that when he was a rookie or in his second year he would see all his stuff he signed for fans being sold online so he stopped signing unless he gets paid!! A lot of athletes are like this, isn't going to change the way I feel about him!!
