So I thought I'd kick this new site off by starting a thread dedicated to my Tony Parker PC. I started this PC around like 2008. I've taken a few years off from collecting since then so it's mostly been an on again off again collection. That said, it's still the central focus of my collection...and with that said, I'll start off sharing the single most important card in my collection.
I bought this card on eBay early on into my collection and it was my favorite card then. Several years later I sent it in to BGS to have it graded. I knew it wouldn't be a 10 because of the centering but I mainly just wanted to get it encased. I sent it in with a restriction of 8 or no grade, meaning if it didn't grade at least an 8 (I was guessing 8-8.5) they'd just send it back.
Well, turns out the card was in dang good shape and, if not for the centering, it would have graded a 9.5. I was, and still am, extremely happy to have received this back as a BGS 9.
Anyways, I won't bore you with any more back story...here it is!
