This is in my top 2 favorite Mark McGwire cards. This or the 85 Topps Tiffany USA autograph. That one reminds me of my childhood collecting days - I dreamed of owning that Tiffany rookie. This is my modern day favorite. I need to get it slabbed - not for the grade as much as to protect the card since they scratch so easily.

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!

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.

Vince Carter was one the best starting players in the 1990’s-2000’s. Love the credentials parallel. Best looking set after 1996-97 E-X Credentials!
