Went a little crazy on WhatNot this past week. Cards delivered today and man we got some great cards on great deals. The Skenes auto is 1/1. Bunch of Jayden Daniels rookie cards. Josh Allen card is 1/1. Most the other cards are parallels of some sort. Love the Ace Bailey McDonalds Game card also. Some heat with this patch!

The essential credentials is on the quintessential late 90’-early 2000’s best parallels list. This 2003 is my 4th favorite after 97-98, 2006 and 98-99. But still a hot card of a popular player and hall of famer.

McGrady is always going to be collectable. He was a juggernaut on offense. The one player Kobe said could beat him/was as good as he was offensively. The 2006 Essential Credentials was one of my all-time favorite parallels. Glad I got to see this HOFer play live a few times at his peak.

Still one of my all-time favorite parallel sets, Ray Allen has one of the best pure shots in NBA history. Who knows if he would have been better than Steph in today’s 3-point-heavy NBA. I think Steph would still be better, but man, it would be close.

Since I posted the other O’Neal earlier, I figured I’d post this one next. This is one of my favorite Shaquille O’Neal cards that I own. The 2006 E-X essential credential set is arguably one of my favorites. Clearly, it’s not as classic as the 1997-98 E-X credentials set, but it’s my next favorite design from this run of parallels..
