Positing this little two color Boston Celtics game-used Paul Pierce patch from Panini Absolute “Star Gazing” for good luck tonight for the Celtics v the Magic game 3. I think KP and DWhite and PP show up tonight and the Celtics win by 12-16. Fingers crossed!

My single best Tom Brady card. And my only Brady game-used patch auto. This fits everything I love in cards. Premium card stock. Metal framed border makes it seem even cooler, especially with the red/ruby color-match. Thick, chunky patch that has been traced back to a significant game (2015 AFC Champtoonship game vs the Peyton Manning-led Indianapolis Colts. On-card autograph. I had to trade about 55 cards in order to consolidate up to this (and man, I miss those cards!)…but here we are. Top 10 card in my collection.

The “mini” logoman isn’t the “true” logoman. But it’s the best I can afford of a star. I have a mini logoman of KG, Pierce, Jermaine O’Neal, Even Turner, Giannis, and Portzingas. The poor man’s logoman! Still super cool and happy to have it in my collection!

After years of waiting, Derrick White finally has a game used Celtics patch "thanks" to the newly released unlicensed Topps 3 product. This completed my White "RPA" collection.

The Marcus Smart trade feels like ages ago, and it saddens me to see how his career has fizzled out over the last season and a half. Hopefully he can heal up & escape the purgatory of Washington D.C.
