Just did another trade recently for more cards, so I'm really closing in on the base set, it's just a handful remaining and then I can shift over to picking up inserts here and there until it's all done.

SkyBox Emotion is also another set that I really enjoy, so I recently finished the base set and the X Cited insert set as posted earlier in the thread. I just need to finish up the N TENSE set, get the Hill NNO and the NNO Promo sheet intact. Then, the master set will be complete.

...And also, there's this that I just got in, it's not a big deal:

Under 20 dollars SHIPPED, if you can believe that. So glad to get this one out of the way, feels like I just took a huge dump after being constipated for 3 days, I'm a new man, ready to take on the world.

Awesome pick up. That Card is on my list to pick up when I see one.

[mrveggieman]

I love that Jordan card. Tomorrow is Saturday so it is mail day for me. I will also be doing some IP graphing on Sunday. I will update my IG early next week. Stay tuned.

Beautiful Jordan! I love Emotion probably my favorite 90s product. I pulled that Jordan as a kid right after release. I was like 10, I will never forget all the excitement when I pulled it at the shop. It's hard to believe you can pick this up for under $20 now.

[SteveO21]

I'll also concur that Jordan Ntense is Nsane! I love that card. Need to get one soon.

I got these in today. The Stackhouse is in surprisingly pristine condition. There's some dust on my scanner that I didn't notice until after I scanned. The centering is a little off but the edges, corners and surface would all grade a 10 IMO. I freaking love the Platinum Player's Club parallels.

[AbraCalabro]

Player's Club Platinum cards are way underrated, I love to photo shoot they did for that particular year's rookies. Really admiring that Stackhouse, excellent card.

As far as the Jordan, thanks dudes, a little patience pays off. I saw others on there for under 20 shipped, I don't know if they're still up, or not. However, if you've got some cash you can burn, definitely go for it at sub 20 delivered prices.

[Hallco]

Jordan Michael huh? Has a nice......"ring" to it! Good stuff comrade!

[CameronJacobs]

Looking to complete 2012-13, 2013-14, and 2014-15 Prizm base sets and the 2013-14, 2014-15 RWB Parallel sets. I just like the look of Prizm. One of my favorites

[JMarchand1981]

OK a few additions of the same card.

So many may know that I collect 2012-13 Absolute. I Love it and try to pick up anything that is reasonably priced.

Anyway, I picked this up the ebay for $5 total
2012-13 ABsolute FF KEvin Martin by jasonmarchand1981, on Flickr

So I am new to selling on COMC but I love the idea of buying and not having to pay shipping immediately. Love it. So I grabbed this for $6.25.

Purchased for $6.25

Also, I think that I have a third version of this card coming that I paid for $5 but I am not entirely sure (said card was in a small lot of Absolute stuff that a member here sold to me. He is a great dude so I am not worried about card condition or anything.

ANyway, these are my pick ups. Ironically, I am not a Kevin Martin fan. It just so happens that he sells for ridiculously cheap.

[SteveO21]

Solid K-Mart pickups!

I got a few things in today as well. The Stoudamire is for my new small collection of Stoudamire inserts from his early days with the Raptors. The Bender was just going really cheap and I thought it was a bit of a steal. Bender was the next big thing and will forever be the guy that should have been the greatest Pacer ever, but never amounted to anything in the NBA, due to chronic knee issues. The Parsons was just a really random pickup. I was looking for Kobe's All-Rookie Team cards because they're one of the few current inserts that are hard to find and they don't get the love the deserve being case hits. The grade on it certainly made it more attractive.

[AbraCalabro]

I wish I knew you liked Raptors Stoudamire, have a bunch of those cards!

The UD Game Jersey:

I'm an Arizona fan so I'm really just picking up small things of the guys that made me a fan back in the day (Stoudamire, Terry, and maybe Dickerson).

That Game Jersey ran me a mere $7.49 (including shipping)

that is awesome lol - I love those earlier UD Game Jersey cards, that's a 10/10 pickup, the colors are just right, love the stripe on the jersey too.

Same here. What's funny is that everyone tends to throw fits about Panini using these "event worn" swatches and patches from photoshoots, yet I was reading the back of that Bender card and even way back in 1999-2000 Upper Deck was using them too.

just got this in today, I've always been obsessed with refractors...

I was literally about to post "I guess this qualifies since it's only a bgs 8.5" but then noticed the first post of the thread says to show anything low-mid end... and didn't notice this ...

DOH! won the bid for almost exactly that. oh well, I'll have a raw MJ Meltdown coming within the week that will qualify.

sorry about that, from here on out strictly impoverished posts. so the limit is about $30-35, got it. i'm not a high end guy by any means, anyway.

[AbraCalabro]

lol it's cool, no worries man, that's a beautiful card.









...if I start seeing exquisite in here though.....................

[SteveO21]

Got a nice little package of random 90's stuff from good ol' AbraCalabro today. Couple Pacers, a nice Barry for my Finest RCs collection and a Stack to go along with the Platinum version I got last week.

Muchos gracias hombre!

[duron]

Nice Barry, I still have the McDyess I pulled when it was released, used to be a favorite player of mine. From what I remember the Beckett mags had those rc cards with up arrows for a few months straight.
Such a strange year for Finest though, as it's been mentioned on the boards recently, no refractor rc's. I know they had Rack Pack RC refractors from 1995 but I think those weren't mass produced, not sure.

Just got this in yesterday... wish I would've noticed the pink color fade circle between "chicago bulls"

[mrveggieman]

Wow I'm loving all these cards especially the Jordans. I have a test to take on Saturday morning then I am heading to my post office. I can't wait to see what the mailman left for me. Stay tuned.

Nice MJ! Even with the little flaw that's still a sweet card.

Those Rack Pack RC refractors sell for insane money. I really want the Stoudamire and there's one listed on ebay but it's listed with a $199.99 BIN.

[AbraCalabro]

Glad the cards arrived in good shape!

That Jordan Meltdown is really nice, didn't even notice any discoloration!

Dangit you better not be the one that sniped me on that card! They are SO hard to find raw in any half-decent shape but if you got the one I'm thinking of it actually looked pretty decent!
