I am not very enamored by the 2013-14 draft class so I wont be buying much wax. I am pretty happy where my player PCs stand currently so I decided to start a PC project to kind of diversify my collection. The new project?

Rewind about 20 years to the 1992-93 draft class. Shaq, Zo, Laettner, etc etc. I went through the draft classes of the last 20 years and picked 4-5 people per draft class. The people who I consider to be the best of each respective draft class.

From there I decided that I wanted to acquire an auto and a RC of each of the five players from their respective draft class. This is made a little easier by Panini's love affair with putting autos of some scrubs from yester year into products.

The autos I am not going to be picky about. I will pick up what I see for a reasonable price. It doesn't have to be a 1/1 or anything like that(as you will see with the pics). THe RCs on the other hand. I have a preferred set from each season.

For example, 1992-93 is UD. 1993-94 and 1994-95 will be finest. 1996-97 through 2009-10 will be Topps Chrome. The most expensive would be the Kobe, which I have, and the Lebron and Durant which I do not have but are certainly available for sale everywhere. In the interim, I will pick up whatever rookies to check the box (I am tracking this in an excel spreadsheet) and then just look to upgrade when the opportunity presents itself.

I will update this thread as new pieces arrive. I will update with all autos but only the preferred rookies or rookies of note. This is where I am as of 9/11/13 (I Just started this on 9/7/13).





And the Rookies....I don't have many of these...


Thoughts? Opinions? Have rookies or autos any of the people that I might be looking for??

Good idea I like it. Man I seriously like that Rondo auto plus a 9.5, awesome pickup there.

[SHowley2003]

Great idea man. I love the concept, and backing up a few years will re-introduce a whole new view of the hobby. Best of luck to you.

Definitely a cool and reasonably challenging idea. I probably have a bunch of the RCs you might want, maybe a couple of the autos as well. Feel free to check me

Great idea man, should be a fun way to keep the hobby fresh for you. Good luck with the chase, perhaps we can revisit our trade with some new wants of yours I may have.

I would love to man!! I know you probably have some of the rookies that I am looking for.

Actually I could use the T-Mac and Van Horn Finest RCs but I don't have anything that you are looking for at this juncture..and my Paypal balance is just enough to cover my fees for the time being.

This is a really great idea! I have done something similar. I have a Graded RC collection and I also recently started an auto collection. Ideally like you I want a RC and Auto of all the greats. Some RC's will be tougher to get (Bird, Magic, Dr J, etc) but I have all of the more recent RCs already and even most of the autos. Keep us updated on this project! Looks great so far!

nice pc idea, I more than likely have a lot of the rcs you may need.

[Megatron2181]

Awesome idea! What set are you gonna use for the RCs after Chrome?

I haven't thought that out to be honest. I think for 2010-11 I might just do the COntenders Patches auto Rcs. It is the only set that I can think of other than Donruss for that year and I was not huge into DOnruss. Also, I REALLY like that Contenders Patches set. I think the cards look very nice.

For 2012-13 I am using Crusade. I like the basic looks of the cards and I broke three boxes last week and hit Kyrie, Lillard and Davis. I also hit some of the other guys too.
