Trading Cards With Shaq Cameo Appearance

This one's just for fun.

I have almost one thousand different Shaquille O'Neal trading cards. I know it's impossible to collect all of his cards due to multiple 1/1s but whenever I have the chance to get hold of a new Shaq, I grab it immediately.

This one has caught my fancy while casually browsing at auctions in eBay.

The reason? This card is hand numbered to 655/655!

Yes, the last card in the set.

Josh Smith 05-06 Finest Rainbow Set

I love shiny cards.

I also love sets.

So when a collector from the NBA Cards Philippines forum decided to sell his Josh Smith set of refractors, x-fractors and a 1 of 1 superfractor from the 05-06 Finest product, I grabbed the opportunity to own them.

The Evolution of Lebron James' New Signature

Over the years, Lebron James' signature has evolved. Along with the improvement of every facet of his game every year, his signature improved too.

After "The Decision" to play with the Miami Heat starting next season, Lebron decided to switch to a new number... and a new signature.

Check out the evolution of Lebron's autograph through the years after the jump.
