My Bill Russell Auto Collection (Including Maildays) - will23c1982 - 10-17-2012

I added 4 new cards to my Bill Russell personal collection over the past few days. It's been fun checking my mail box for these cards! I've posted my entire Bill Russell auto collection below, but the new additions are the first 4 cards.

love those cards!! I do think UD needs to find some new pictures to use on their cards though... or convert some video footage into stills & enhance them with HD to be used on new cards!!


RE: My Bill Russell Auto Collection (Including Maildays) - will23c1982 - 10-18-2012

Agreed, I'd love to see some new photos. If you look on Google Images, there are hundreds of suitable photos that could be used, in my opinion.

Having said that, these are some of my favourites and the photos work well on these cards.

on the photo-issue, same thing happens with Dennis Rodman now. It appears they only have two Savages photos and they have been using those ever since they lost the license three years ago. it really sets me off.

That said, those are some fancy Russells. Well done!

Absolutely beautiful collection. Exquisite has some of the finest product I have ever seen produced. Not a big fan of the new exquisite though, the college uniforms just aren't doing it for me. Have you come across the 2011-12 Preferred PS Red Bill Russell Auto? It's #ed to 10 and as hard as I have looked I can not find one anywhere!
