That's such a nicely done insert set. Nice pickup.

Here is an addition to the poverty thread from DajuanWagner. Jersey numbered for THAT price!?!?!?!

SteveO21 · 11-22-2016, 02:22 PM

^^^ Not bad at all. That Co-Signers set was so strange, and had so many parallels and variations. Would be an absolute nightmare for a player collector to put together a master set from that release. For instance, there are 48 different Jared Dudley cards (36 if you don't include the printing plates) in the 2007-08 Topps Co-Signers release.

Sorry I haven't posted in a while. I've been having some technical difficulties with my equipment. That being said I have been picking up some items from time to time and you can see the posts on my IG account.

Here's a cool one. A nice looking John Stockton 1988-89 Fleer RC purchased for $4.25. In my opinion, the 88-89 Fleer set is really underrated, the design is great and lots of good players that can be found cheap.

I think Topps was trying to kill all the Dudley PC collections out there. I guess Topps didn't want any one person to corner the market on Dudley.........mission accomplished Topps........

Wow, I am way behind. Great pickups as usual guys! Crazy seeing some of these cards showing up in the thread, but it just goes to show that A+ cards can be had a F- prices. Keep up the good work!

1988-89 Fleer #115 - John Stockton

Great pickup. I'm a big fan of that set and that Stockton looks to be in great condition.

myusasets · 11-24-2016, 05:36 AM

congrats on the stockton. a class set, under valued.

SteveO21 · 11-24-2016, 09:52 AM

That Stockton looks awesome. Probably 60/40 centering left-right and top-bottom but that's pretty decent compared to a lot of copies.

Got these in the mail yesterday. The Niang was actually a lot of 3 of the same card, and the Teague ran me $12.50 on a best offer. Had I waited a couple days I could have probably won a different copy for under $5. Win some, lose some. I had to have it though. The scan washes out the refractorish quality of the Gold.

TheTimeIsNow · 11-24-2016, 10:58 AM

Awesome Teague Gold Prizm! Whenever I watched a game with Niang playing, he was always scoring.

8collector34 · 11-25-2016, 12:00 PM

So Duron said the etched foil on the Topps Apparitions makes it look better than the Chrome variant. I wanted to see it to believe it. Apparitions being one of may favorite looking inserts and, by coincidentally one of em coming up for sale by a local collector, I picked this up for little more than $4 yesterday. Thanks for the tip, the etching on this baby is a trip.

duron · 11-25-2016, 12:53 PM

^ nice, yea I'm VERY partial to etched foil. It basically started to die off once chromium style cards became more prevalent. Still no idea why mj is only in the standard Topps set and not chrome.

DuncanHOF · 11-25-2016, 05:57 PM

Pretty big mail day today. I just got back into collecting after 12-13 years off. The 1969 Topps Tall Boys caught my eye....

Gail Goodrich RC: $5

Lenny Wilkens (UER): $5.50

Dave Bing RC: $5.50

Dave DeBusschere RC: $6.50

Connie Hawkins RC: $6.50

Wes Unseld RC: $6.50

Elvin Hayes RC: $6.50

Thanks, and completely agreed! Big fan of the set and they look great in person. I'm conflicted about whether or not to go for the complete set or just the HOFers and non-HOF notables. Still have a long, long way to go before that becomes a real issue though.

Perhaps Chrome came out after MJ announced his retirement and Topps did not have the rights for his image anymore. I also read and article in Beckett back in the days that unless a player is a spokesman, you can only use a player on like 5 different cards in one master set.
Anyway I am guessing, but I dont think it was just some honest mistake not to include MJ.

SteveO21 · 11-28-2016, 02:11 PM

Those Tall Boy pickups are awesome. Can't beat the prices there.

I got a few things in today. I'll get them all scanned tonight, but here's a quick phone pic the most impoverished of the 3.

Walt was so awesome before his knees failed him. He was one of the first do-it-all type of forwards I can remember as a kid. That 92 Draft Class had some beasts in it initially.

There was an NBA game on playstation in about 98 or 99 that let you create a team and customize your rosters. Williams was always on my team b/c he was deadly from three
