Sent my Sue Bird Color Blast out to get slabbed. It arrived back home today.



Submitted 2 other cards while I was at it. I chose them because they are the nicest Bird and Taurasi 2019 Optic Holos I have seen over the last couple of years (and I’ve seen a lot haha). Finding these in this condition is tough. For the Taurasi card, it’s especially challenging to find one that is better than 55/45 centering. There’s a chance this is the nicest one to surface. To date, PSA has graded (1) 8, (3) 9’s, and (0) 10’s.

The white sparkles look nice. I wonder how often the 1/1 autos come out of packs. 1:25 packs? 1:50 packs?

A print run of 30 per player (just a guess) would make a total of 1000 packs. With 40 1/1’s that would make them 1:25 packs. Of course we have no idea of the print run so I guess we’ll never know.

At the beginning of July, I won a random drawing on the Sky's twitter account for a Kahleah Copper All-Star poster. It got lost for a little while but showed up at the first of this month. My little girl (4) has shown some mild interest in basketball, moreso when "the girls play."

I opened up the poster in front of her and she was excited. She asked if it was for her so of course I said yes. We went and taped the Kahleah poster up over her bed. When she lays down at bed time, she always pronounces her name (Cuh-lee-uh Cop-per), and counts the stars on the poster (there are 11 total stars on the poster btw).

Fast forward to yesterday and I received my 10 blasters from Target. After she took her bath, we sat down and opened one. First pack was an EDD Far Out green prizm. She really liked that she "was in outer space." Next few packs didn't have anything crazy but she did pull an Isabelle Harrison base card that she "gave to me."

We get to the last pack and sure enough, she hits a green Kahleah Copper Prizm. I can't explain how awesome that moment was and how excited she was. We talked about how special that card was and she told me to protect it (aka put it in the sleeve/toploader). I did that and asked her if she wanted me to put it in my special box or if she wanted to keep it. Obviously she wanted to keep it. We grabbed a card stand and I asked where she wanted to put it. She put it on her night stand to look at "erry night."

The night rolls on and my wife and I put her to bed. Now it's time for grown up rippin'. We sit down and start on a blaster each. We're getting toward the end of each of our first blasters when this lil' sh!t comes walking out of her room. She's talking about the green Kahleah Copper still.

My wife opens her last pack of her first blaster as Harper is walking out and wouldn't you know it... a silver Kahleah Copper. Needless to say, I had to protect it and put it on the nightstand too.

I think I've successfully converted my little girl to a basketball/ card fan! It was too late last night for me to snap a pic but I'll get one later today of her with her poster/cards.
MVP

Great finale to this story.

Also (this might get some eyerolls), but shout out to Allie Quigley and Courtney Vandersloot - first married couple to win a title together as teammates.

I personally think that is a really cool historical note. Those cards are sweet too!

LMAO when I got the notification that you quoted me I was like "ah #@#@#@#@, hope he knows I wasn't talking about him"

Just a couple of guys with big followings on IG and (from what I've seen) no interest in the W.

Allie absolutely diced me up when we played pickup about 10 years ago. it was bad...i had to tell her sister who was on my team that she had to guard her.

Also unrelated, but Allie is good friends with one of my best friend's little sister, so i've seen her around a few times.

I finally opened the 10 white sparkle packs I bought. Two bundles of 5 packs. This was definitely the tale of the two bundles. The second 5 pack bundle was unbelievable.

Highlights from the first 5 packs:

Aaliyah Wilson rc
Jewel Loyd
Kelsey Plum

Now for the 2nd 5 card bundle (I’m not making this up, and I wish I’d opened this bundle first):

Breanna Stewart
Diana Taurasi
(same pack as Stewart)
Chiney Ogwumike
Rennia Davis rc
A’Ja Wilson
Kelsey Mitchell auto 1/1
Charli Collier rc
Jackie Young
Chiney Ogwumike auto 1/1

Seriously, two 1/1’s in just 5 packs. Couldn’t believe it. Happy hunting everyone
