Man, I chased that card through probably 500 chronicles fat packs. Awesome card. DM me your asking price.

Hope these are merely for the person's, PC! 'Cause if the person plans on sellin' 'em, I think they're only going to have a minimally-interested, audience to deal with! Even, WITH the PSA certs! Personally/practically speaking, I'd never purchase any of these if they were for sale. HOW IN THE WORLD are these,...(essentially) "randomly arbitrary-squiggles"...certified by Professional Sports Authenticators (let alone,...anyone, for that matter!?) as authentic, Luka D, "autographs"...?!!? So as to be clear, I'm certainly not stating, "emphatically" ,...that they aren't legitimate. I'm merely calling into question,... the sincerity & integrity....BEHIND THE CERT! These days (eg; post-COVID, card collecting 'BOOM', days) it almost seems that with..."modern autographs"....so long as the auto in question doesn't blatantly spell-out Bugs Bunny or Daffy Duck,...and the squiggles are...."somewhat, on par"...with what an individual squiggles as his/her scribe, PSA will pass it with flying colors!
I mean...aren't some of the basic fundamental-processes of which autograph authentication is based on; signing repetitions, consistencies in ink flow, pressure, etc....?!? 'Cuz,...quite literally, I don't see ANY of the aforementioned characteristics,...in ANY/ALL of the below referenced slabs.

I'm kinda with the "squiggles" guy. Y'all are ponying up for undiscernible squiggles. But then that's the great thing about cards - so much to choose from to go plunk down your money.

Man I've been wanting that Luka Vitreous for years too! Super jealous!

Mavericks, Spencer Dinwiddie Agree To One-Year Deal

[Ichi]

I love the moves they made.

Klay is a perfect fit and will get wide open looks all day. Luka has never had a guy of that caliber to create that heavy gravitational 3-point threat. It'll work both ways by creating more space for Luka and Klay simultaneously (and Kyrie too of course, same concept). It reminds me of Ray Allen joining the heat, similar career paths.

Naji Marshall is a lowkey upgrade on Derrick Jones Jr. as well. He has a tad more size, a more natural shot, and provides about the same level of "dog" and defense. Even if you argue DJJ brings more defense, Naji probably brings a little more on the offensive end with his spacing and underrated passing.

Then you have Quentin Grimes, a guy that was not long ago one of the core Knick building blocks but got snagged with the injury bug. Then he was cast off to the funeral home we call Detroit Pistons, and we didn't really see much from him the past 1-1.5 years. I believe he will bring intensity and point-of-attack defense along with some decent playmaking skills as well. Just another well-rounded guard/wing with upside on a buy-low to take over those Josh Green minutes.

Anyone that says Klay is done isn't watching close enough. Sure, he's not prime HOF Klay anymore, but he doesn't have to be. He's still an elite shooter and will bring quality wing defense (maybe not elite like it once was) along with a chip on his shoulder to prove he's still got it. That, and his desire to win another championship is all I need to hear as a Luka fan.

The Mavs are going to be deadly if Klay gets his shot back.

And if Lively takes a leap.

If Lively becomes a 14/10/3 blocks guy, Mavs going to be tough to beat.

He didn't lose his shot, he was over 40% from the 3 point line last year. Only thing he lost was a few steps off the dribble. He can still spot up and shoot all day long which fits in perfectly with Dallas.

[Chris P]

Small Luka mailday, really love the look of the Glitter parallels in Optic. Got the Bronze one numbered to 99 for $15

[jrnelson]

Been kinda slow for me adding some cool Lukas' to my collection. Anyone add any new Lukas lately? Love to see them!

[ninjabum87]

Not cards but I did visit Slovenia and his home town. I really liked it. Even older women in their 60s I spoke to knew about Luka and one of them bragged for a bit. They love him quite a bit.

Ljubljana was really neat. At some point their mayor made this segment of their city a no-car zone so you can just roam around without worrying about traffic at all.















I stumbled on a goalie camp when I stopped to use a rink's facilities-

[jrnelson]

That's cool man! Slovenia looks like its a nice country.

Yeah it was very green. I liked it a lot. Folks were a bit more stoic than in Greece but just about everyone speaks english and it was really picturesque.

I got a kick out of being on the highway and as soon as we hit congestion both lanes going our direction part like the Red Sea to leave the entire center open for potential emergencies where an ambulance would need to get through. It was universally adhered to by everyone except for an Austrian plate or two. I was told those folks would eventually get ticketed. Really cool to see a whole blob of hundreds of cars and trucks doing that together.

[sethc1020]

Man thats cool has hell! What made you go there to visit?

[ninjabum87]

I took my mom to Europe and figured it would be neat to visit Italy, Greece, and some of the former Yugoslavian countries. Lot of history in that region and it often gets overlooked for western Europe. She'd never left the states before so I wanted to do something interesting. Really that whole strip of Adriatic countries was pretty nice cause they all have a bunch of history with the Romans, Venetians, Yugoslavia, etc and seemingly almost everyone under 40 speaks English all through Slovenia, Croatia, and Montenegro.

That is awesome.

I didn’t see a Prizm Euroleague thread, but I guess I just pulled the product hit in a box at my LCS?

That's great to hear. I went to Slovenia in 2001 and didn't find any I can remember who spoke English.
