I don’t think kids these days know how much shine the 2007 Chrome refractors had. I mean, the panini silvers don’t typically have a mirror-like finish. Even other years of chrome don’t have this shine. Of course, the iconic image of Kobe doesn’t hurt…
Man. I miss this one. The shine off this was incredible. I bought this one raw off eBay and graded it and traded it away in a package to secure a grail. But it just presented so well. Oh well. Can’t keep everything (but I try).
After posting the Bill Russell autograph, I thought it was fear just show the cardthat I traded for. Clearly, this is not a one for one trade. Rather, I put a package about 40 cards together get this. Wilt Chamberlain died early, and it only has about 270 pack-pulled autographed cards. When buying a wilt autograph, some of these have faded significantly. Collectors pay a premium for big, bright, and bold autographs of Wilt. This one has such an autograph and comes from an iconic Upper Deck set. Happy to lock this away in the PC for a long time.
