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!

While this card does not have a lot of intrinsic value, it has value to me. As an Indiana University graduate, I went to a lot of football games in the early to mid 1990s. I was born and raised in Indiana and have a long-standing relationship with Indiana sports. What has happened over the past two years is not something I ever expected to happen in my entire lifetime. Indiana has never been a football school and has been long overshadowed in the Big Ten.A turn around like this in the last two years is unheard of in sports at any level, really. It’s been so exciting to watch IU have this kind of turnaround… It’s like watching a Disney movie. Let’s see if Mendoza and the Hoosiers can cap off a perfect season with a victory against Miami on Monday night! Go Hoosiers!

Just like the Tracy McGrady posted earlier, I only have a few Vince Carter cards. He had a stellar 20+ a year and was able to modify his game from the slashing, driving, dunking player into a more patient, strategic position. He definitely deserves to be in the Hall of Fame. This is my favorite part of his, the 2006–2007 essentials, credentials, future parallel. These parallel sets have everything going from them, a great lineage, a high-end brand, and a great look. My second favorite credentials after the 1997-98 which is far out of my price range.

I don’t have enough McGrady cards, maybe only 2-3. But I love these 2006-07 (twenty years ago!) credentials parallels. My second favorite looking credentials set with the acetate cards/colors. Just had this graded last month, happy with the CGC 9 grade. Slabs are crystal clear and the grading process took <1 month.
