Lebron James 07-08 Ultimate Collection Signatures Autograph

I don't really collect Lebron James but when something is available for sale that is usually cheaper than what they usually fetch for, I will immediately scoop it up.

After all, you can easily move his cards and they are good trade baits because he is very popular with collectors.

Shaquille O'Neal 96-97 Flair Row 2 Legacy Parallel Card

The Legacy Collection that parallels the base card in 96-97 Flair is groundbreaking.

Why? Because it is the first basketball parallel set that featured serial numbering. Randomly inserted into packs at a rate of one in 30, each parallel single is machine-numbered to only 150. It is even rarer than the one that came next, the 96-97 EX-2000 Credentials which are numbered out of 499.

Shaquille O'Neal 97-98 Flair Rainbow Set

Included in my March 21-25 mail week is a Shaquille O'Neal 97-98 Flair Row 0 card serial numbered 179/250.

With its arrival, my mini 97-98 Flair rainbow set is complete - minus the Legacy parallels of course.

Mail Week March 21-25: Shaq RARE Inserts, Dwight Howard Autos and Kobe 2nd Year Inserts

I think this is one of my best mail weeks because I have added something to my Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard main personal collections as well as to my Kobe Bryant and Michael Jordan side PCs.

Check out my mail week from March 21 - 25, 2011.

Blake Griffin 09-10 Panini #301 RC BGS 9.5

Ever since Blake Griffin played his first NBA game after his rookie-year was virtually destroyed by an injury, his rookie cards have been skyrocketing to insane values.

I actually owned his Absolute, Court Kings and Crown Royale autographed rookie cards which I bought for way lower prices than current ones during the offseason. However, I traded/sold them at the start of the season when they were still affordable.

Blake Griffin 2009-10 National Treasures Signature Patches Logoman 1/1

Blake Griffin has been one of the hottest rookies to enter the NBA in recent years.

This man backed up all the hype surrounding him though as he averages 22.3 points, 12.1 rebounds and 3.6 assists per game while providing highlight reels every time he plays.

Shaquille O'Neal / Dwight Howard 08-09 SP Rookie Threads Dual Threads Patch Card

Shaquille O'Neal and Dwight Howard are two of my most favorite NBA players.

Both have similar power games, are funny, charismatic and both donned the Superman persona.
