I like Panini putting some of the classic NBA-ers in cards with auto's besides the Jordan/Bird/Magics. Maybe build some tradition for the NBA. They have it. It just seems to be ignored.

Fruits of today's labor at the salt mines, a.k.a. Houston Tristar. Some of these are so well centered, even I couldn't pass them up. Hoping most will upgrade the set. Prices paid were all over the place. I really like the two on the far right, followed closely by Yankee Coleman, who looks absolutely "angelic" with the halo.
Couple of landscape/sideways cards. Really like the Priddy.
Topped off with a couple of highs which caused me to run out of money. Never mind the corners or centering. I take these just about any way I can get them. "Thank you sir, may I have another?"
Boy Vanslyke! you really covered the whole century with those cards. Also some very interesting cards.
Haven't heard or seen anything about David Thompson in some time. "Skywalker" was the Michael Jordan of his time, until he fell from grace.
Tom Chambers notched 20,000 points? I did not realize that. I guess I do remember him being a big shot for the Suns, just didn't think he reached the 20k mark.
Great finds on those cards MIKE. I wish I could get to one of those card shows, but they are just to far away. Chicago would be my best bet and even thats a 2 hour drive.
