Shaquille O'Neal 1992-93 Stadium Club Beam Team #21

I was able to snag the Member's Only version of Shaquille O'Neal's iconic Beam Team card from 1992-93 Stadium Club.

This is not inserted into packs as this was only available exclusively through the Topps Members Only Club or sold in complete factory set form for $199 with a total of 10,000 factory sets printed.

COMPLETED! Kobe Bryant Rookie Cards Checklist

Finally, 1 year and 6 months since my quest to acquire all Kobe Byant rookie cards last July 2010, I have now all 16 of his true base cards. I also have his SPx XRC (extended RC) as well as the two cards from Stadium Club which are not really RCs since they are inserts - but the product don't feature one.

Thanks to ty of the nbacardsph forum as his E-X2000 RC included in my January 17 mail day was the final piece to the puzzle. It was a long process but I was not in a hurry as I wanted to relish every card I acquired. 

Mail Day January 17: Kobe Bryant E-X2000 RC, Derrick Rose RCs, etc.

This is my first significant mail day for 2012 and one of the largest trades I have done in a while. 

There are many trading forums but they should be renamed selling forums as most members are actually selling rather than trading. 

Anyway, I'm glad I was able to pull off this trade with ty of nbacardsph. Because of him, I have already acquired all of Kobe Bryant's true rookie cards.
