JB has been my favorite Celtics player for some time. Tatum is a better pure scorer but Brown plays with a different level of intensity. He still needs to learn to control the ball and needs fewer turnovers. But I think he’s top 5 in the MVP race this year. What pundits predicted as a “gap year” for the Celtics without Tatum and losing Jrue Holiday, Al Horford, Kristaps Portzingas and others tuned into a 2nd seed in the East!

I had a deal to trade for this many years ago. It was a done deal. And at the last second, after a deal was done, he wanted me to add another $100-200 card and I just couldn’t do it because we had shaken hands and it was a done deal. So he backed out and I walked away. Oh well. Hindsight….i clearly should have made that deal! Win some, lose some!

Quite possibly my favorite card. Not worth nearly as many as others. But this was the era and the card. From design to player selection. It had it all. Dont think I’ll ever sell this one.

Not my most expensive card but a beloved one. Who can turn down a nice Aaron rookie with a bold IP auto. Got this with my brother at the National about 8-10 years ago for $1300. One of two cards I bought all weekend. Still makes me happy.

Proof that you don’t need to break the bank for super cool cards, and one of the reasons I don’t rip wax or join breaks - these don’t come up too often. Dual signed UD SP on-card autos of HOF Harlem Globetrotters, Meadowlark Lemon and Curly Neal. Just flat out cool!
