As
I am sitting here typing this it is 1:05 PM and I am less then 5
hours from graduating South Broward High School. Usually with
graduation comes gifts, money and a bunch of hoopla from the family.
My Mom chose to gave me money and being the avid Sports collector I
am decided to take my behind to Hollywood Collectibles and spent part
of my new found riches on some cardboard heroes of basketball, so
lets begin!
Card
#1 Sky Box 1990 Magic Johnson
People
talk about how versatile Lebron James is and sometimes my man Magic
gets lost in the shuffle. This man was also 6'9 played multiple
positions and changed basketball with the offense he ran as point
guard of the “ShowTime” Lakers. I found this card Digging through
a dime box of assorted cards.
Price:
2$
Card
#2: 1997 Topps Tim Duncan (Rookie)
The
San Antonio Spurs are in the finals again and if Tim Duncan is to
capture another ring it will make 5 and further cement him as one of
the greatest the NBA has ever seen. Some people don't really
appreciate his greatness the way I do so when finding this card I
flipped. The Cards I gt is a rookie card and probably one of the best
cards in my miniscule yet evolving basketball collection.
Price:
4$
Card
#3: Sky Box 1991 Michael Jordan
Of
all the cards I purchased yesterday none are as visually cultivating
as this cardboard treasure which features MJ basking in the glory of
what was his 1st of 6 championship rings with the Chicago
Bulls. The card speaks for itself.
Price:
2$
Card
#4: 2007 Upperdeck Artifacts Jason Kidd Jersey Card
Of
all the cards this one is definitely my favorite for many reasons.
Its the only card I purchased not in a dime box. It was actually
inside one of those shelfs with other nice expensive cards I can't
afford. This was a steal though, I had a little more money then
usual so I decided to splurge a bit. This card is rare numbered
12/100 so the feeling I have of purchasing something rare is
comforting. Also Watching Kidd with the Nets growing up along with
guys like Vince Carter,Keyon Martin and Richard Jefferson was some of
the most fun I ever had watching basketball.
Price:
10$
So
all in a another great day of purchases at Hollywood Collectibles.
Now it's time to start practicing throwing my cap up in the air at
the conclusion of graduation.
