And the final package arrived yesterday from PSA. I bought this Bill Russell on Ebay, and because it was already being sent to Ebay authentication, I decided to spend the $39.99 to have it graded as well. 2 weeks later, I got a message stating there was a problem. The card was obviously authentic, but the seller had oversold the condition of the card in the listing. It was not going to receive a grade of an 8 to a 10, and they asked me if I still wanted the card or did I want a refund. I asked if it was possible to cancel the grading, and just have it mailed to me. Unfortunately, that was not an option, so I told them to grade it. Luckily, I landed the highest grade possible.

Larry Bird played a round of golf in Danville, IL back in ‘86 or ‘87. We heard about it and my mom drove us straight to the Danville Country Club. I had the Converse Weapons poster signed. I’ve always thought it would be cool to get signed by Magic, too.

Worked the scuffs out after about 163959351849692515285967161534896 rounds of polish and wax but it came back to life pretty nicely. Wish I could have done something about the back missing color but that’s just not something that can be fixed ever.

Always taking on new projects if deemed doable and always buying damaged stuff for new projects. Please feel free to give me a shout here, Facebook at Dicky Mulvey or IG which is also the same.

One of the first NBA’ers I met and he couldn’t have been nicer. He even remembered me when we met again.

Happy heavenly birthday to NBA Legend Dikembe Mutumbo.

My Celtics Prizm gold collection grew with this 2021 Josh Richardson. I think it's Frankenstein status (Celtics card, Mavericks jersey) was one of the reasons I got so cheap, but I'm not complaining. I also had my first TTM success in a long time, getting my childhood Satch Sanders rookie signed. He did a nice job signing it.
