Default I need your opinions on my pc player

So I pc amare stoudemire, since 2002 off and on. And I've always wondered these 3 for sure are his most sought after, all 3 being /25. Im curious out of the 3 which one you think demands more. Or should the be each equivalent to the same value?

Looks like the top one has a patch in the “R” as well, plus maybe a game floor piece the auto is on?

Either way, I’d personally value the UD Ultimate Collection the most. Are any game-worn or just “player worn/not”?

The Finest gold? could be pretty as well…

S.T.A.T. is my boy! - Personally I'd go with the Gold Finest, his RPA is a beauty but anything gold nowadays goes for a premium

SPX rookie, all day every day. Best auto (forget what Beckett says), best design.

Now thinking how to categorize autos with GG...

there is another reason why I like the SpX actually. Even more important.

EASILY the Ultimate. Better brand, better looking card, patch, oncard auto - everything you could want.
Finest second.
Ugly SPx third.

The correct answer is:

1. ultimate collection

2. spx

3. finest

Anyone who collected during that era knows that finest was the least desirable of the three, and still is.

Aside from 99-00, all SPX rc designs are butt-ugly to me with the faux cut auto designs.

Ultimate all day ayday.

See i was for years on that ultimate RPA train as his most value wise, but with the recent popularity with refractor yet good refractor I see the gold going more and I will say I own 2 out if the 3 here. I own the spx spectrum and finest gold. I bought both those 2 cards within the last year and prob the latest comps for those 2 yet they were private sales.

I know everyone is saying the Ultimate, but the Gold Finest may surprise you.

Tbh I believe the 2002/03 spx design is the best looking imo out of them all. Im not sure if any other years spectrum version has the acetate auto piece have the same color with the card. Could be wrong.

I would agree maybe like 10/15 years ago the finest were the undesirable one but with the surge of people loving the chrome cards and especially the gold versions in the last few years has me to believe the finest gold would demand more than the rpa
