This is the elephant in the room for me.

I am very much looking forward to the series though. As much as I hope I'm wrong, if I were a betting man I'd still put my money on the Nets. I do, however, feel a bit more optimistic after the Heat series, even if they did completely stink up the joint.

Wish the games were starting up today! These gaps between games / series' feel so dang long LOL.

Against the Nets will obviously be more difficult. You have the top 2 scoring teams in the NBA, though the Nets D is near the bottom while the Bucks are playing elite D right now. Nets just gave up 125 and 126 points to a Celtics team with no Jaylen.

The Big 3 are definitely going to have to work for it. Hopefully the refs are making consistent calls in this series, whether it be letting both teams play or if calling ticky tack fouls it goes both ways.

Nets will have to make a choice.... Do you let Giannis feast or do you let the rest of the guys get open shots.

Either way... it all comes down to Giannis' performance, as well as the Bucks ability to play defense. Giannis will either need to score 35+ a game, or 10+ assists. And that's on top of a strong defensive effort.

I think Jrue can mitigate Kyries impact all series long. He is easily one of the most underrated players in the NBA today.

I really think people forget how good PJ Tucker is he can either guard Kylie or Harden and especially Harden since they both played for the Rockets

Bucks in six. Let it rain.

This was ended early. Did anyone see what it was at before it got pulled down?

I was going for it but was squarely outbid, so I can’t say I was ever really a contender. Congrats to the buyer, what a killer card. I’m drooling over the 1/1 Immaculate logoman but sadly it is also out of my league.

Ya that /10 is such a nice looking card.

This one 19-20 Immaculate logoman? Or is there another that i'm not seeing?

Do you have #3? One is ending tomorrow night. Premium Patch Pretty nice patch on it too.

So who else is looking forward to Game #1 on Saturday? Really interested to see how these two team play each other in the playoffs.

I wish there was a 'shhhhhhh' emoji on here like on the iPhone LOL. Yes, I am going to be making a run at it. That card would complete my 'Immaculate Trifecta' along with the RPA /99 and Acetate /34.

I'm literally counting down the days until Saturday!

Haha. Sorry. My bad. I kinda assumed you had one.

LOL I'm just kidding obviously. But no, it's been elusive. I've known where a few /10 were but the sellers were always asking (what I thought to be) way too much. I suppose this sale will be an indicator whether I was right or wrong!

I’m not sure wether it’s a good thing or bad thing that it ends before Saturday’s game.

I was going to say the same in my post!

It’s good if you believe they’re going to win the series because it’ll be cheaper now than when they win. It’s bad if you believe they’re going to lose because it’ll be more expensive now than when they lose.

I’ve moved a couple Giannis’ this week (biggest being the Blue Prizm Auto which I just recently picked up myself) and prices are surely ticking up on the high-end stuff. I have a limit on this one that I think is more than fair and I just hope it doesn’t get shilled to oblivion.

Everything Giannis is at least “slightly” up. I think there’s a lot of people gambling on a finals appearance.

It's a really clean looking card. 19-20 Immaculate Logomen are some of the nicest to date IMO.

How’s the giannis fans feeling for the nets series? If giannis dominates and leads the bucks to the title this year he has to be vaulted to the top of the league right?

correct

Do any of you guys know of a great option to store/showcase a hobby box? Maybe a custom case? I have a few 13-14 boxes(prism and immaculate my two best) that I’d love to protect but also showcase in an office.

I saw someone using basketball display cases for a few of his boxes.

Precisely.

I’m still in the crowd that thinks the Nets will take it, but boy do I hope I’m wrong. A part of me wants to place a size-able bet on the Nets so it’s a win/win for me LOL

PM Sent! Funny that you posted this question because I actually just started making these custom cases for wax boxes as another product line complimentary to my Original Grademaster Card Centering Tool product. If anyone else is interested, please shoot me a DM and we can go over the details. Thanks as always!!
