It wasn't the fact that he didn't sign that bothered me, I've been turned down by guys like Pierce before but at least Pierce would joke around that he was late for a meeting or something stupid like that. To completely ignore a child at a Celtics game was a complete lack of disrespect to me and I unfortunately think of that first when thinking of KG.

I agree 100%, collecting is about the sport and the player not the person. I still have a few cards of his in my PC as well. Good luck with your PC!

This thread inspired me to pick up a few Garnetts. Can't believe how cheap some of his nicer stuff still is.

Great cards of an extremely underrated and undervalued player. Keep showing em off!

Just bought a KG 2000 Upper Deck Game Jersey Auto for $229 while the 5% eBucks going on, I think the card is really a steal since it is a 20 years old "vintage" T-wolves era auto on card. It is not even half the price to his finest rookie right now.

Not sure if this is the complete set but I really like the look of these cards!!

Those are awesome. I love spx and think ultra is so underrated. The different golds look awesome and are still very reasonable (other than MJ and Kobe)

As a KG collecting vet of 15 years, it's great seeing the love you have for these new cards!

I got KG's 15 base rookies back in '96! I still have them. Just noticed the finest is going green last month dammit!

I'm glad you posted this. I was searching this last night, trying to decide which versions were scarce and which versions to make a bid on, and I couldn't find info.

No worries. I usually just use the beckett website to find insert odds.

His Finest will break 1k very soon. Fortunately I have already picked up mine a few years ago.

Thank you!! Love your pickups there!! I am loving getting the older stuff right now!! I forgot how nice it was since I have spent the last 5 years collecting KAT but figured it was time to change for a bit since I am well over 300 KATs!!

No problem! The Grand Finale will come with a hefty price tag if you can find one. Yeah I'm a big 90s insert guy too, keep em coming!

It's awesome to get such nice cards at a fraction of the cost of what Jordan goes for in the same set!

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.

The way you said it I thought he got caught abusing a child or something.

Maybe his goldfish died that morning.

Not sure if I got a steal here or not but when I seen this, I had to have it and bought it for what the seller was asking for which was $24 with shipping!!

It is a 04-05 Fleer Showcase Legacy Collection 072/125!! Whether it is a steal or not, I love the look of this card and I am really happy to get it!!
