Default It's about time!

Two weeks ago after numerous prior attempts, I finally reached a live Panini customer service person. I was concerned about redemption's that were owed to me. There was a Kobe HRX card redeemed 11/29/12, and James Harden Au card redeemed 8/31/14.
The HRX was supposed to be a video card. I was told that they were never uploaded with video. They promised to send the non video HRX card with a extra Kobe AU card to make up for the mishap. They also promised that they were processing my Harden Au card as we spoke.
I finally received my package. I'm very disappointed after waiting 5 years for something that was never completed, and 3 years for a scribble AU of a guy who makes millions, and can't take the time to sign his name properly. The old bait and switch; just think, I had to track them down for this. Almost forgot.... they still owe me a card from May 2016.

HRX.. What! No video



Extra card



James Harden Scribble

Nice Fleer Russell, a very attractive card between the great color and even greater portrait, IMO. Much better looking card than the rookie (recent pickup below), if less iconic.

Nothing mundane about that Orr! I love all of those Orr subset cards from that issue. I have that one in a BVG 7.5 but man I don't care for the Beckett cases so hope to one day get one in the PSA like yours. I guess that guy on the left was OK too. Thanks for sharing.

Great graphics on those programs.



A small glue or wax stain on the back accounts for the grade.

At a fraction of the cost of his Topps RC, I liked this one.

Picked these up to close in on my 70/71 Topps set. Sorry about the brutal scans. The Alcindor is still in a slab.

That's why I bought it. A great looking card at a fraction of the cost due to a technical flaw that I had to look for to find.

I never buy raw marquee cards but I went for this one:




Got a super deal on it.

Wow, another sweet one. Hope to one day do a Dr. J Topps run. He was THE guy when it came to playground basketball talk as kid in the '70s. I have been on a bit of a graded stuff run for awhile, but have picked up a couple of nice raw lately so I get you in that area. And like the Hull, that is a really great card.

Nice centering. I have a complete nm-mt set but most of the centering is off.

Icee Bears are very cool, and relatively inexpensive.

I'm all about the presentation and the price, regardless of slab. The Howe is decently centered and crease-free, which is a bit of a stretch with the deckles, and the price was great. This is my current happy card:



Bought it raw at the National and it just got an 8.

On occasion you see a card and you are owning the sucker even if you overpay a bit:



I saw Boom Boom and hadn't ever seen a nicer 67 so I grabbed it even though my normal wheelhouse is nice 6 or 7 caliber for this set.

I saw him play as well and he became a favorite. That's a wonderful card!

I'm currently working on that set (raw though). It's a lot of fun. Lacking 44 of 175.
