2008 is my favorite year of chrome. I think it’s the team colors and bubble letters on the white stock. The colors and design just work. The xfractors are cool (think early mosaic pattern). Was hoping for a 10 on this one. As a KG fan and a Celtics fan, Garnett popping his jersey just represents the swagger and attitude he brought to the court. Those 2000’s teams should have won 3-4 but random late season injuries stopped KG, Pierce, Allen, Rondo, and Perk from becoming a dynasty.

Most people have never in their life seen this one. It’s an oversized jumbo 5x7 2003 Flair gold rookie of LeBron James numbered /75. These are super rare and hard to find in good condition. I have this an a Dwayne Wade as well. I was super bummed they both came back as altered as I know where/who they came from and I truly doubt there were altered, colored, trimmed. Oh well. They are still super cool pieces and one of the rarest LeBron rookies out in the wild!

This one has a fun story. I’ve always thought that AP was one of the best running backs in NFL history. This one was signed in-person for me as one of my good friends was one of the team doctors for the Redskins when AP was on the team. (I tried to get a game used signed item, but pretty happy to get anything!). Items that have a personal connection always mean more to me and usually aren’t for sale/trade.

I love massive game used patches. Some people love em and some people hate em, but I’m okay with unlicensed stuff that is unique. I missed out on a couple things I wanted recently, so glad to pick this one up. Much like these patches, people love or hate ARod. I used to love him in his Mariners days. Then I didn’t like him. Now I’m okay with him again. I only have maybe 2 ARod cards in my collection, but happy to have this very unique 1/1.

Jerry Rice is, unquestionably, the best wide receiver in the NFL history. He had an exceedingly long and consistent career. He was fortunate to play with Joe Montana and Steve Young, both MVP quarterbacks.
