This has been a "pinch me, I must be dreaming" type of day. A local place that doesn't typically have cards was full of them this morning. I spent a few hours going through everything and came away with all of these.

As a whole, the total was above poverty level, but broken down by item/set I was well within the poverty limit.

SCOOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Got two OGs in today. This Vanguard RPA for $8.50:

And really happy with this Emergent for US $17.67 - 10% = $15.90

SteveO21 · 04-15-2019, 02:31 PM

^^^ That Emergent gold is so nice. Hell of a steal there.

I’m sad they’re not doing Vanguard I actually liked it. All on card autos, wasn’t overprinted to hell, and a nice retro 90s feel.

Too many great cards and prices here. Smalltown, you kill me with the deals you get. Rookie patch on card auto for $8.50? And the gold Emergent for only $15? Instants /5 for $5 each? Teach me your ways!

Honestly. Just way too much time on eBay. That and some luck and timing.

TheTimeIsNow · 04-20-2019, 02:43 PM

Awesome Kobe UD3 RC papaperk. Kobe rookie cards are so underrated. Here's a recent pickup of mine:

This insert (1:32) was in a lot for $4.50 delivered. I've been chasing it for a while, and man, it is a gorgeous card. If the checklist had bigger names I think these would definitely be more sought after!

Those colors go perfectly together, that is one hell of a card, dude!!! Great action shot too, but I can't get over the complimentary colors, it's freaking perfection.

Pacers stuff usually goes well with gold for obvious reasons, but this card has great color combos too.

Did I mention I like the colors on this card?

AbraCalabro · 04-22-2019, 10:57 PM

Took a moment to get some scans in, I got the HOOK UP from Sammy J, thanks BIG TIME, dude!!! There are just a few scans, but since I've been scarce with acquisitions lately, I want to space them out. With that said, these are such incredible cards. Man, I wish I could've opened a pack back in 97/98. In addition to these, he sent me another card I will save for a later post. Until then...Enjoy!!!

SteveO21 · 04-23-2019, 02:03 PM

Excellent stuff, guys! That Dirk is GORGEOUS. The Redd Gold gets my collecting juices going. I'm on record saying that 08-09 Topps Chrome set has a special place in my heart. Those Gold Refractors (and the Red Refractors /5) are becoming increasingly hard to find these days. Glad to found one of your PC guy.

The Row 0 pickups are just stunning. The cards themselves and the scans you're getting now just look amazing. Great trio of players too. Very 90's.

I got this in yesterday, thanks to some super quick shipping from our guy bobbyplaza. We negotiated and agreed to a trade in just a few PMs. Made me remember how much fun it is to actually trade cards. I sent him a small lot of George Hill stuff for his PC and he sent me this....

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for the George Hill PC help!

I got this in today, the second one I own. Numbered out of /48

AbraCalabro · 04-24-2019, 08:16 PM

^^^ Love seeing trades happen in here. I saw Bobby's thread too and there were some damn nice cards in there and the Leonard gold up there is not too shabby either. Of course the OfficeLens "scan" is killer, as usual!

Got a couple more from my recent hook up. I enjoy the dreamy mix of colors on the back of these. Unfortunately scans don't do too much justice for the front of these cards, but the back scans came out quite pleasing.

indyguy · 04-25-2019, 11:02 AM

Some recent purchases. Have a few larger purchases, but I'll stick to the poverty rules!

$6.50 for a PSA 10 Silver of Elie Okobo. Really like this kid.

$4.24 for an 8 card lot of Hamidou Diallo that included a silver prizm, pink ice, green, and rwb prizm.

$3.30 for Stanley gold!

Paid about $25 for this pair of PSA 10s of two of my favorite cards from the 90s:

$23.50 for a PSA 10 of Sexton, Pink Ice!

$12.50 for a PSA 10 of Ayton Hoops

Edit, sorry for size of images. I'll save them and size them down.

smalltown · 04-25-2019, 11:15 AM

Those Grandmama PSA 10's just made my heart explode. Good god, I miss being that age and not having a care in the world other than when I could get my next pack of cards.

PKIPP · 04-25-2019, 03:39 PM

I actually got this a few months back, but I just posted it to my IG and figured it would be a good candidate for this thread. Cost me $4.00 at auction and like $3 shipping.

I don't know how we're defining poverty but I'll share some recent pick-ups. I'll use gslayton or natsturner's definition of poverty so I can share these

Won this in an eBay auction for about $70. It goes with my 2012-13 Signatures Film Platinum Auto Warriors PC (looking for the Bogut now).

Recently picked this up for $33.50. I just love Looney.

It goes well with this Looney that I picked up sometime within the past year for about $4-5. Maybe it doesn't but I don't care. It's for my side Warriors PC

Picked these up on COMC a few months back for about $10-15 total (and a few more bucks for S/H but I picked up other cards too)

I always loved Jamison. I was happy when they traded Carter for him. I followed a little NCAAB at that time. Got this for a few bucks.

Picked this up within the past month for about $23. I like Rabb's hustle and he played for UCB. Bay Area baby!!

Picked these 15 silver prizm RCs for $4.99 (if I remember correctly). Won it via auction. Actually placed a bid of $0.99 (with $4 shipping) and forgot about it. But ended up winning it. I'm happy the seller shipped it because they had some questionable feedback about canceling orders, etc

buckunteer · 04-25-2019, 04:05 PM

That Dirk Gold Label insert up there is a stunner! Is that from 00-01? I've broken a couple 99-00 boxes searching for those low-numbered red label parallels of my guy Mitch, but that insert isn't among them. Might have to bust some 00-01 now
