Someone definitely did! The paper blues don’t pop like the shiny versions.

Here's my favorite JJJ. Sold a few off awhile back unfortunately but held onto this one! Need to get some better pics, this one in the top loader does it no justice!

That's a beautiful card!! I've debated subbing mine but I see no real gain in grading a 1/1...if I comes back less than a 9.5 or a 10 you'll be docked if you ever resale and slabbed authentic people automatically think it's altered

I don’t think either of things is correct. Most collectors don’t care as much about a super high grade on a 1/1 so an 8 or 9 is completely fine. And *Authentic* holders are becoming quite popular. I know collectors who submit and ask for Authentic if the cards don’t grade at least a 9.

Personally I would rather buy raw than a slabbed Authentic outside of vintage. I honestly feel that TPG is a crock of steaming dung. But it is a necessary crock so it is what it is. But so we don't get too far off topic here's a few more i held on to... Rookies/99, die cut/65 and a few blues, pink ice, a silver and couple of base

Nice to see some activity back in this thread. I’ll post some of my off-season acquisitions later but my big chase has been his second year 2019-2020 Prizm Rainbow. I believe I’m at 31 of 37 right now. Not bad considering none of the three 1/1s have been graded or accounted for yet as far as I know.

I only have 1 slab of JJJ as I dont have any faith in him to become a beast at this point. Not to say he cant, just dont see it at this point. Got this graded just to fill out an order a while back

It is wonderful to see the love for JJJ. Keep them coming.

[The_Reverend]

Big shot last night. This team is progressing nicely. They would have crumbed last year when LA made that run. Adams was a great addition and Ja and JJJ might be evolving into a nice tandem, but others are playing very well also.

Don't be a fairweather friend y'all! Be there for JJJ during the rough times!
Hoping he bounces back soon and starts playing the way we know he's capable of.

He will be alright. The season is still young and he will eventually start clicking with Ja.

I think so too. It's also been a strange start to the season. Lots of guys not yet in the groove of things. Wonder how the rule changes affected certain players, if that's what it is.

There is some bad basketball being played and rule changes could make the game much slower and lower scoring. I am looking at stat lines and as far as the Grizz go Ja and Bane are very ball dominant and Bane is a shoot first player. JJJ is not getting the touches he use to get and that might be one reason for his slower start.

[tsszen]

Jaren has the second worst FG% in the league. He’s shooting 30% and literally 75% of his shots are wide open threes.

Last night against the heat he had Duncan Robinson, Tyler herro, markieff Morris, and pj tucker posted up. He got a total of zero post touches against those guys. He’s 7 feet tall and 245 pounds and can’t even buy a pass in the post against guys 6 inches shorter and/or 50 lbs lighter than him.

I personally think he needs to be on a new team to blossom. It just doesn’t seem like the grizzlies are maximizing his unique skill set well at all. He’s 7 feet tall and all they do is park him in a corner on half their possessions. Granted when he’s had opportunities this year he hasn’t done anything to show he’s worthy of shouldering a greater load either.

Hopefully things can turn around and obviously he won’t shoot 0-8 on wide open threes every night, but it’s amazing to see how useless he’s been if he isn’t hitting open shots.

Good points fellas. Not only has Bane been a reliable scorer but Melton has also stepped it up (he's a bit inconsistent though). Let's see where the next few games go.
