official Poverty mail-day thread - Page 8

I really like this thread. Low end aka poverty collectors are what has and will keep our hobby alive. We actually collect cards because we enjoy them and are not to get rich quick from them.

I'm with you guys 100% - I love to see a variety of cards, the high end stuff is nice, but it gets tiresome and they all look alike in the end.

I have some more stuff coming in I will try to post some up tonight.

LOVE this card man, I like the jersey style numbers in the background...wish Kemp was still with the Sonics when those cards came out.

The photography is dope on this one, I haven't seen him dunk a lot, makes for a HELL of a display, especially because it's a refractor, 2x as sweet!

dapro, did you get that davis card in yet?

dapro · 08-19-2014, 10:08 PM

The Davis is in.

AbraCalabro, you were right. It got some kind of refracting effect.

This is one of my better base card in my collection. It looks really nice in person with this reflective rainbow effect going.

AbraCalabro · 08-19-2014, 10:12 PM

^ G-damn that is one handsome looking card. Thought it was 249/249 for a second! Sweet grab, centering looks on point too.

SteveO21 · 08-20-2014, 01:17 PM

This thread is a perfect place for the mail I got today. Won it for $3.24 a couple weeks ago, and ended up paying more for shipping than I did for the card due to the seller being from Hong Kong. I freaking love this set and would like to get more of the low-end players at these cheap prices. These remind me of the old UD Trilogy Rookie Premiere Patches autos /10. I'm a huge sucker for acetate cards and these are freaking beautiful.

# /50

Also got this one last week. Paid $4.99 for it.

Green Foil /5

buckunteer · 08-20-2014, 05:34 PM

Dang those are some nice low-numbered cards on the cheap!

Got an MJ the other day, paid under $20 w/ delivery for this one!

pmannings#1fan · 08-20-2014, 05:43 PM

This is my kind of thread just don't collect basketball only baseball. I too collect everything for my teams/players PC not just high end stuff or I should say very seldom high end stuff lol. I enjoy collecting & I think the trading is the best part. Thanks for the thread & sharing!

You did really well, those are some of the nicest cards Panini's ever done, especially the one with the game film because it has that sweet action shot and auto, looks like it's on card too, am I right?

lol, that's amazing Player's Club Platinum Jordan for UNDER 20 and graded, I'd call that borderline miraculous, congratulations! I love those cards, I'm almost done putting together the base set for 95/96 Collector's Choice. That line has some top shelf photography and action shots.

Just trying to keep the hobby pumping in what is becoming more of a marketplace. Thanks for checking in!

--------------------------------------------------------------

Check this out, I just got this in recently and I want to thank member, gatorboymike for clearing up my questions about this card. Collector's Choice Jumbo Card - Box Topper autograph:

The image is sized down, but it's a huge Jumbo Card and it really is a sight to behold in person. Love that full autograph and it's still sharp, no fading!

Also just scanned this guy in, thanks to fellow member BillyClapper for this and many more inserts I still have to scan:

buckunteer · 08-20-2014, 09:02 PM

YES gold signature! I am trying to get all of MJs gold sigs and platinum player's clubs...still have like 3-4 more total to track down. Sweet pickup

AbraCalabro · 08-21-2014, 08:31 AM

Thanks man, yeah those Platinums are really nice, I'm missing a few Kemps myself. I've seen the ones I need but there's no way I'm paying 11+ dollars and shipping on top of that for them.

This is my second gold Collector's Choice Kemp and they are really nice, I think I'm only missing a couple of those now, include the base parallel.

The 5x7 autograph blew my mind as well, that one I've only seen once before and it wasn't for sale. This was me when I was opening the packages/envelopes up:

Do you need this one?

Shawn Kemp Very RARE Collector's Choice "Gold Signatures" Only One on eBay | eBay

Not my auction, just saw it when browsing ebay.

Also, which do you guys favor, 94-95 Gold Signature parallel or the 95-96 Player's Club Platinum parallel? I think I'm leaning towards the platinum. They were both 1 per box I think.

buckunteer · 08-21-2014, 11:48 AM

I gotta go w/ the gold signature cards. I think you're right in that they were both 1 per box, but I love the idea of the facsimile signature, and of course (cue Goldmember voice) I love gggoooooooooolllllldddd

Also, WAY back in the day I pulled an exchange card in 95-96 collector's choice that was 1:720 packs. I got the "debut trade" sets, all 3! regular, player's club and platinum player's club. Still have all three full sets to this day! So I have a LOT of the platinum player's club cards, not nearly as many gold sigs.

I'm not sure about platinum but golds were about one/box from what I recall. The challenge, if opening product, was whether you were going to get someone good or not with about 200 possibilities.

SteveO21 · 08-21-2014, 01:29 PM

Got all of these in today for my Solomon Hill PC. Paid a grand total of $20.25 ($8.50 of which was shipping costs).

I think that the Gold sigs top the Player's Club Platinum because of the signatures themselves.

Now...if they had a Platinum signature, especially with the same effect that the series 2 Platinums had, then I'd go with the Platinums.

...But yeah, the golds are really beautiful in person...not taking anything away from the platinums, because they're also incredible.

I think Spectra looks 10x nicer than the Prizm stuff, dead serious. Spectra is a SHARP product, even if it's on the lower end of the totem pole, I think it looks nicer than Flawless.

The Spectras and some of those pearly white acetate cards from Immaculate are a pleasure to look at and appreciate.

-

I also DO in fact need that Kemp gold, I'll keep an eye on it, hopefully no one bids on it because I pretty much blasted my card spending for the time being. Fingers crossed!

I'll share my poverty mail pickup from this week. Tayshaun Prince 12-13 Elite 'Status' numbered 1/24. I've always liked the look of Elite especially these low numbered parallels. I got this one for $2.24 and free shipping.

stalemonkey30 · 08-23-2014, 04:45 PM

Just got these Wilts in the mail this week. The elite is much nicer than the picture indicates and has a refractor like finish.

AbraCalabro · 08-23-2014, 05:20 PM

NICE work guys! Can't go wrong with 90s inserts!

That parallel looks crisp as hell, is that a gold tint, or is it just the lighting? Either way, looks great!

DEFINITELY can't go wrong with the GOAT player, Wilt. Is the Chrome base, or refractor? Can't tell.
