A recent pickup, only one of fifty, of Paul Pierce to pair with my Superfractor from the same year. Nice card for the Truth. #boston

I thought this was a PSA 7 with an outside shot at a PSA 8 with crisp corners and smooth edges. Centering is its only downfall. But PSA 6?! Cmon man, that’s brutal! This card presents so nicely in-hand and looks awesome for a 2nd year Russell!

One of my favorites. Outside of being off center, the color, edges and corners and great color really pop on this Bill Russell rookie. It’s stunning. SBC was the company that later turned into SGC. I’m reluctant to cross it as the slab hold value showing the legacy and history of when it was first graded. I’d only trade it for or towards a signed Russell rookie.

These were hard to let go of, too. Especially as a Celtics fan. But as a rookie, I was able to collect about 7-8 nice Tatum RPAs. As he solidified himself in Celtics history, and cards increased in value. I decided to keep two of my favorite RPAs and trade the rest towards a stellar Tom Brady game used patch with on-card auto. Just an absolute beauty of a card. Hard decisions to make, but all part of the collecting process!

From the PC…The Truth has his own 2024 Topps Gold Superfractor card. Pop 1, PSA 9.
