Wow, yeah, I remember when he was a rookie, it was a big deal. Great memories. The guy was a great player and that's a steal no doubt.

Really pondering whether to keep in the Blazer PC or Sell to get some current players. Tough choice as he is a Legend.

AbraCalabro · 04-14-2015, 04:40 PM

I would keep it, it's limited to x/10, bummer about the sticker auto, but still, we're talking about the Lithuanian Sensation here.

SteveO21 · 04-15-2015, 12:12 PM

I'd hold on to that Sabonis too. Might be able to make a FEW dollars on it but probably not a ton. Probably much better in your collection.

I got a couple cards in today that I've been wanting to pick up for a while now. Got them for a combined $4.66 (not including shipping costs). Both are in GEM condition, aside from the discoloration of the Stoudamire.

AbraCalabro · 04-15-2015, 01:48 PM

Have yet to see one of those Gold Refractors in hand, they look very nice. I have been putting off getting the Kemp into my PC because of their HORRID centering issues, not to mention the discoloration. That's an amazing price that can't be beat though, looks like it has the atomic refractor pattern.

It does, just didn't scan well. The centering on this one is pretty dead on. Only problem is that damn discoloration. For $2.35 I'm not complaining one bit though.

The discoloration isn't SO bad because, A, as we discussed, the price just can't be beat AND it's nicely centered, also B, the discoloration is so widespread that someone not familiar with cards wouldn't be any wiser.

I have a card like that and it doesn't look bad compared to cards that have the partial discoloration...

I have to add the Kemp and Payton golds soon

Yeah on the bright side it is at least evenly discolored all over the card, as opposed to being spotty and making it look like something had been splashed on the card.

Yeah that was the first year (96-97, right OP?) that Topps started getting the centering figured out a little better on Finest. Before that year? Total crapshoot. Sick pickup SteveO you know I love me some refractors!

mrveggieman · 04-18-2015, 12:07 PM

Great pickups guys. I will be posting my pickups on my IG later on this evening.

Yea it's exactly the same effect as atomic refractors. Look how sexy these things are. One day I'll get the MJ.

Also check the last picture of this listing, really shows off the beauty of the Kobe in particular since it has a lighter background than most...

Those do look amazing, that Shaq looks great!!! Centering isn't too bad and no discoloration!

SteveO21 · 04-20-2015, 01:24 PM

Got a couple more Mighty Mouse additions today. Another beautiful Finest refractor from the 90's, and an auto I've been trying to add finally popped up at a decent price. There aren't a ton of Stoudamire autos with him in Raptors gear, so I'm pretty happy to add this one.

SteveO21 · 04-20-2015, 05:24 PM

The mail lady handed me my mail today (the 2 Stoudamire cards) but something told me to check my mailbox when I got home today. Turns out she had already delivered a pwe earlier. In it was this beauty that I got for $5 delivered.

I've gotten really lucky to find the last 2 Finest refractors with such awesome centering.

BTW, what's up with this thread getting so quiet lately? We need some fresh faces in here.

I love it when I find a refractor the centering on point and zero discoloration. Thread has definitely been quiet, but I'm sure it will pick up again. Here's some new stuff I got in.

I do a little Uncle Cliffy collecting on the side, special thanks to WE_GOT_THAT_TOO here are recent additions:

Also got this Kemp Player's Club Platinum, I think I only need one, or two more to have Kemp's entire rainbow for this product's standard release. Definitely need the series 2 checklist Platinum.

buckunteer · 04-22-2015, 09:54 PM

those platinum player's clubs are tough to track down, same for gold signatures, crash the games, etc. CC is tough with those early parallels!

tennelson55 · 04-22-2015, 10:10 PM

i think i'm the only person with newer pickups

i still enjoy seeing the older sets as i really like the greats of the game autos. nice pickups everyone!
here are mine

i also got about 6 more oranges not scanned, but the scanner was giving me issues... :eatit::eatit:

keep posting your maildays guys!

myusasets · 04-23-2015, 09:54 AM

nice to see some cards from the 2000's too. always love the variety of styles,colors and designs on this thread.

You said it man, I just checked my files by the way and it seems the series 2 checklist Kemp is the ONLY I'm missing. Have never seen it for sale.

also,

tenn, those orange cards are nice, the photography is great, I really like the Iverson going against his former team. I never knew Ben Wallace was on the Cavs at one point.

SteveO21 · 04-23-2015, 10:44 AM

I've got a handful of those Orange Refractors somewhere at home. I'll try to find them this week and send you a message if I do.
