Moving from fine Art prints to original paintings is quite the expensive endeavor. The slow growth of my art collection over time with a focus on urban art, street art, bridging into fine art has been fun… But expensive. Martin Whatson is a Norwegian street artist who is known for his fun, eye popping, colorful, graffiti tags. He has gained quite a following. I love his use of grayscale with pops of colored graffiti. This is a stencil and spray paint on canvas with paint pen graffiti tags.

Congratulations to the Celtics for their first round playoff series win over the Magic. Will be tougher 2nd round vs the Knicks who have a lot of length! People don’t realize how few 1998-99 chrome refractors were made. They were short-printed for sure. The Pierce and Nowitzki are the best rookies in the set. I bought this raw and thought it has a great chance at getting a gem mint PSA 10. Alas, I’ll have to settle for the 9 again!

Man, I’ve had this raw since I was a kid. Thought it had a good chance at a PSA 9. Still, glad to have it. Looks great in person! Hot take: I’d rather have this card in a PSA 10 than a rookie in a PSA 9,

This is arguably one of the better Allen Iverson rookies out there. These gold refractors were some of the first to use the atomic design. It really shines in-hand. Collectors always seems to like the peel on. I personally think the shine and the aesthetic of the card is significantly better once peeled. The centering on these cards was very tough. Sadly, I had to move on from this to acquire something Iwanted more. I’d love to get another one of these or the Kobe gold atomic one day.

Need some good vibes and juju for this team. JB looks off. The Celtics didn’t make a single 3 pointer in the first half. Which has never happened all

SEASON. So odd. Yet they are in it and JT is carrying them so far. Let this JB rookie 1/1 bring them luck!
