Anytime you can grab a 1/1 for that kinda price it's a win!

Thank you. Yes, first kid. Just playing this waiting game!

Felt pretty good about the purchase! Have to get a scan of it once I get everything setup at home.

Congrats! You and I just continue to have more things in common. Both Arizona Wildcats/Indiana Pacers fans. My wife and I just bought our first house about 16 months ago, and our 1st baby is due early July. Have you guys found out what you're having? We decided we didn't want to find out until the baby arrived. I've been good with that decision all along but recently I've really been itching to find out. Gotta stay strong.

Awesome pickup as well.

We are due June 30th, so may be early July, who knows!?

My wife didn't want to know, but I had to know. It was literally the only thing we've planned, so not knowing would drive me insane. I'm the only person that knows and I think my wife keeps trying to trick me into telling her. I'm like a steel trap though.

lol! Our due date is July 8th. We planned the pregnancy and had decided not to find out as soon as we got the confirmation that she was pregnant. We have had to tell every nurse/doctor/etc. at the appointments that we don't want to know the sex. I'm convinced someone is going to slip up and say something before the birth.

Happened to friends of ours. They kept secret right up until they were walking out of their last appointment. The receptionist said to them "can't wait to see your little boy." So they were upset, excited and settled on a boys name. Turns out they either misheard the receptionist or she had them confused with someone else cause they had a girl.

Haha that's a sadly funny story, probably really annoying for your friends though.

Been a long while since I've been in here, but here are two of my most recent purchases



Little on the higher end of the poverty line at a little over $25, but I love Prizm parallels of Russ so I had to get it. Numbered to 25


Little over $6 for a Finals Used Jersey Card of Manu...can't go wrong with that!

That would probably piss me off quite a bit.

Great pickups! That Manu for $6 is crazy.

Got this in today. Really like the set. Thinking about trying to do the regular "prizm" set.


2016-17 Donruss Optic The Champ is Here Holo #7 Kobe Bryant by SMosley21x, on Flickr

[sammyjankis]

Panini is slowly growing on me.. that Westbrook is nasty and i'm big on everything Optic right now.

Got these in the last few weeks. Most are COMC pickups. TJ Warren is one of the few NC State with only Panini cards. The Select die cut was I think $7 and it looks fantastic.


Bryant not numbered, Carter /50, Hickson 1/1, Nash /69
Pierce gold /50, Pierce blue /149, Wallace /50, Warren 10/10

Scanned some more from today. This is my second Shaq Xfractor from this year. I have Xfractors of other players from this year and they all refract beautifully. My first Shaq looked like crap - you can barely tell it's an xfractor. Same damn thing with this one! Not buying any more Shaqs from this year. Funny thing about the 8-way jersey card (Pacers on the back) - I bought it for JJ Hickson and didn't even realize it had LeBron on it until I received it today. Kinda cool pickup for $7.


Andersen /250, Billups /220, Carter /99, Terry /220
Hickson /99, Marion /50, Shaq fake xfractor /288, Tinsley /99

[duron]

^ you got that Carter chrome auto for under $35?

that thing is beautiful. doesn't even matter if it's on card or not.

$16.80 on comc. Wish it was a refractor but I'm not complaining!

That Westbrook is so sharp, good get!

Nice pickups all around everyone, very cool to see them all

Don't go to the dark (Panini) Side! LOL! I enjoy some panini stuff but Topps Chrome will always be my favorite.

This was snagged by a friend recently. WAY below the poverty line. #JNW

WAY under the poverty line? That seems criminal for a card from that set /11.


I got a nice batch of stuff in today from COMC. I had been compiling little things over the past few weeks and finally decided it was a good stopping point to have everything shipped. LOTS of colorful stuff and even an RPA. $24.58 (prior to shipping) total for all of this stuff. Personally, the last 2 are my favorites. Panini knocked it out of the park with those inserts. Also, give me Select silver prizms over Prizm silver prizms every day of the week. Select has so much more color to them for whatever reason.

You like that?! lol! Needed it for my team set. Saw the centering and coloring (or lack of discoloration) and had to have it.

[buckunteer]

man, LOTS of shiny stuff (though sadly most of it is newer haha). That Dickerson /100 would've been a MASSIVE pull back in 98 those quad diamonds are just so tough to find, nice pickup Steveo!
