this is my favorite Jaylen Brown card. I’ve never been able to shake loose, or afford, a JB logo man. In fact, a few years ago, I tried to buy this directly from another collector, but we could not agree on a price. Eventually, he ended up listing it for auction on eBay and I was able to purchase it for about 50% of what I offered him directly. This is his Gold Standard superfractor one-of-one Adidas brand patch with an on-card autograph. Brown is having a stellar All-Star level season carrying the Celtics while Jayson Tatum is out. His explosiveness, defensive, effort, and work ethic are unparalleled.

Does anyone here remember CTA? About 25 years ago CTA tried to come into the grading game. I actually really like their slabs. They also came with a very detailed grade report looking at every quadrant of the front in the back of the card.

The rally towel is the collectable, but the memories of being in the second row to watch my team win their first national championship, an undefeated season, the Heisman winner and coach of the year was unparalleled. And to run the gauntlet and win on enemy turf made it even better. What a game! The biggest turnaround in sports history. I never would have thought it could happen in my lifetime! Hoo-hoo-hoo-Hoosiers!

In the Caribbean and gulf, although beautiful, Lion fish are an invasive species and destroy reef ecosystems. But the are beautiful, and poisonous, and tasty if you know how to spear them and cook them up! This is an amazing limited screen-print by the fantastic French street artist Ardif.

Stunning card, and one of my best Jermaine O’Neal cards. He’s borderline NBA HOF material but I don’t think he makes it in. One of the last few guys to successfully jump from high school straight to the NBA. He developed in Portland before finding all-star caliber success in Indiana and with the Celtics. Great overall big man with soft hands and a nice touch!
