The chase for the 13/14 Innovation Prime Set... 95% Complete

TungTLe · 04-08-2021, 11:42 PM

EDIT: Sorry, I meant to put Innovation 2012/13 (Not 13/14)

So I have been chasing this set for nearly eight years, pretty much since release of this product. My progress has been stagnant for about three years, the last four have not popped up, or at least missed opportunities.

This set has always been reminiscent of the early UD Patch set. Every prime card is numbered to either /15, /10, or /5. I've collected all the major ones, so that's out of the way, phew!

However I'm missing the following:

Brandon Bass /15
I missed one a few years ago for literally like $10, I don't think I was checking eBay that week

...There are times where I kind of want to give up, so many people have asked about some of the key players to add to their collection, but I guess I'm not ready yet...

First time I have taken a photo of all of them together... enjoy!

UPDATE:

Just picked up

Jamal Crawford /15
Andrei Kirilenko /5
Jason Kidd /15

UPDATE 2:

The set is complete!!! I finally picked up Brandon Bass, it popped up on eBay earlier this week (June 11th) and I hit the BIN so fast lol

Wow this set is beautiful and low numbered!

whalechaser · 04-09-2021, 01:41 AM

It actually is a beautiful set! Very nice. I am having a similar problem as you on one of my sets. Been trying to collect it for 10 years now, I feel like it will be one of those sets I never finish. Sometimes I want to give up but I feel like I've come so far might as well keep trying.

What a beautiful, well designed set. Good luck finding the missing four. It certainly is nice that you've gotten the big boys out of the way. Hopefully that Crawford doesn't run you too much. Isn't there a craze on Crawford patches or is that over now?

I'm at 20/26 for the patch set I'm working on, and my goal is to add three per year and finish in about two years. Sadly, I've still got some big boys left.

I love the photos of individual cards, what camera is that?

Nice set with all action shots, you don't see it often in the current era, good luck!

FeeDMeAgain · 04-09-2021, 04:15 PM

Amazing set!! WoW!

TungTLe · 07-30-2022, 07:31 PM

Bumping this up. Still on the slow hunt for the last four.

Mule5 · 07-31-2022, 12:01 AM

Awesome! I hope you pull it off. You should talk to Kyle at the wax museum podcast and get on his show as the weekly collector.

hoopstaj · 07-31-2022, 08:40 AM

I know your title says 2013-14 so I’ll defer to you but aren’t these 2012-13? Maybe I’m missing something but the ones on eBay for 2012-13 look like these

Amazing progress. They really are nice looking cards. Good luck with the Jamal Crawford. I can almost guarantee I know where at least one and probably more are located. The Jamal Crawford super collector hoards a lot of his patch stuff and it is basically impossible to get him to move one.

tardif1979 · 02-28-2023, 11:31 PM

How many more do you need now?

TungTLe · 06-07-2024, 06:47 PM

Welp! The chase is almost complete!

I just secured 3 more in the past 2 months which is crazy cause I haven't seen any I needed in the last 5 years!

Picked up Jason Kidd, Andrei Kirilenko, & Jamal Crawford.

Last one I'm missing is Brandon Bass!

kingofsnake · 06-07-2024, 11:58 PM

That's an incredible chase, TungTLe. Best of luck finding that Brandon Bass.

browndawg · 06-08-2024, 06:29 AM

Going to a few shows within the next month. Will be on alert for the Bass. Awesome work on that set!

Appreciate you looking out!

Oldschool42 · 06-10-2024, 02:39 PM

Wow, that is an impressive set!

byronscott4ever · 06-10-2024, 06:40 PM

I hope you have ten different saved searches to land that Bass!

TungTLe · 06-14-2024, 04:29 PM

Here's the three new ones I picked up in the past 2 months

and low... and behold!!!! The last missing piece!!!!
