The color match with the Rays uniform and the shine on this Bowman Chrome 1st rookie refractor is amazing. Dude is a legend in Tampa!

I love Ichiro. I think he’s great. I love his style, attitude, skillset, and stats. I wish I had the chance to see him play more - imagine if he was in the MLB at age 19-20. He would have 5000 hits. Wild - his first MLB hit was at age 27! I picked this one up raw many years ago - really thought it would get a PSA 9, but here we are. Still happy to have it - crazy that one sports writer didn’t vote for him to be in the HOF. He missed unanimous inclusion by ONE vote.

Mike Trout is a generational player - who has had a couple injuries that have caused his cards to drop a lot in the last 2 or so years. I think this represents a great buying opportunity, honestly! Here is a great, early rookie refractor in gem mint grade! Beautiful shine in-hand!

Much like Dwyane Wade, Carmelo Anthony was a smooth as Silk, prolific scorer in the NBA. He had great runs with the Nuggets and the Knicks never quite got to the top of the mountain. The draft class of LeBron, Carmelo, and Wade is pretty amazing. I thought this card had an outside shot at a PSA 10, but I’m pretty happy with the PSA 9, I guess.

I bought this one raw and submitted it myself. You can still get really good deals on cool Carmelo cards for not too much money by comparison.

Ray Allen is still the best pure shooter in the NBA. Of course, people have their opinions, and Steph Curry is the best three-point shooter in the history of the league. But, Ray Allen has the best, most pure looking shot in terms of form, that I’ve ever seen. This is a beautiful example of his 1996 Bowman‘s best rookie atomic refractor. I was convinced that this would come back as a PSA 10. It appears flawless. The shine on these early atomic factors is unparalleled. Still, happy to have this in a PSA 9 grade.
