One of my all-time favorite subsets - these 2018 Opulence Gold Medal Game Used patch autos /10 are so cool. Hard to find but love the chunky patches or tri-color jersey pieces and on-card autos. I have Hakeem, Kevin Johnson, Shaq and David Robinson. Looking for the rest. If you have any, DM me!

This one was relatively inexpensive. And KJ was one of my favorite players to watch in the 90’s. I even had the Converse “React Juice” high tops. Love multicolored on-card patch autos!

Man. I LOVE this set. I have a few , but if anyone has any of this set for sale or trade please hit me up! Olympic game worn multi-colored patches with on-card autos. What’s not to love?!

The international Jake Guentzel card has arrived. Pretty sharp looking. Now to add it to the massive collection shared recently.

Got this at a card show for $10. Iconic US Olympian. I wish it wasn’t a sticker auto. But it was only $10!

Bob Beamon

Why this moment is so iconic:

• Record-shattering leap: At the 1968 Mexico City Olympics, Beamon jumped 8.90 meters (29 ft 2½ in)—obliterating the previous world record by an astonishing 55 cm (21.7 inches).

• “Beamonesque”: The jump was so far beyond expectations that it inspired a new term in sports for a performance that exceeds all limits.

• Altitude + execution: While the high altitude in Mexico City helped, the jump itself was near perfect—he barely hit the takeoff board and maximized speed and lift.

• Unmatched dominance: His record stood for 23 years, until Mike Powell broke it in 1991.

Fun detail:

Officials actually had to bring out a manual measuring tape because the electronic system couldn’t measure that far—no one expected a jump like that.
