2012-143 Crusade Majestic Signatures Set Chase Update: 2/26/14 and a new display
So I am stealing a page from TBarn's book and keeping a running log of a set I am putting together. I spend a lot of time searching for Crusade stuff as I am trying to put together the Blue prizm set. It's a 300 card set and given that you average about 3.5 blue cards per box, and it was not an overly popular product it has been a tough chase. Anyways, I have always wanted to put together an auto set, but never felt I could afford it. Then, as you will see, a few months ago I hit a major auto for this set, and today I hit another big one IMO, so now I'm going for the set. I believe it is a 100 card set. However, it does not have a lot of major names, and it is a sticker auto set. I love the checklist though. I mean Kobe and Rambis and Jeff Green and Cedric Maxwell, it's perfect for my liking and I can afford it.

Here's what I have so far (14/100). Sorry for the dark pictures. It's late and I am too lazy to get quality ones...

Today's hit that made me so happy (I became a huge SA fan during the 90's when the Celtics were... well you know...)

And the big hit for a few months ago. Let's hoping Panini hooks it up with an on-card for making me wait so long!

Very nice cards man! I have the same D Rob auto. Really clean looking set. You have me curious. Why you hate Vin Baker as a Celtics fan? I am sure there is some sort of history there that I do not know haha!

It's not his fault, it really isn't. After the previous ownership sold the team to the new ownership, but before the sale was finalized the Celtics traded for Baker in a move that simply put 1 million bucks back in the pocket of the ownership. It was their last move to screw over the team before running out of town. It hurt the team, but they profited from it. Granted in the long term the players they gave up were nothing, but from the ownership that had ML Carr tank a season just to miss out on Duncan and then hired Pitino to piss all over the city it was just one last reminder that they did not care about the fans or the fan experience.

RE: 2012-143 Crusade Majestic Signatures Set Chase
Great set to chase! Reasonably priced, some big names on the checklist, and should be low pressure. I will certainly keep an eye out for any you may need. Of course, the one box I opened had 3 quest autos and 3 quest jerseys. I don't want to get your hopes up, but Durant and Kobe were the only on card autos in my 2011-12 Preferred chase, and I noticed the Kobe is on card in the Crusade set.... so maybe you will get lucky and the Durant will be too.

2 new in today. I bust three boxes of this stuff, and grabbed 4 Majestic autos, one I already had and one is a redemption (Dennis Scott). I also hit an Iman Shumpert Gold auto, a Nene /25 patch (it's the basketball "dot" from the top of the 'i' in Washington). A gold Spencer Hawes prizm, and green prizms of John Wall and Jerry West.

If I include redemptions I am waiting on I now have 17/100 and will have some very significant posts soon! I also realized I need to stop with my commitment issues and make determinations on sets I am going to chase earlier on. I went through my org and realized I have traded away at least 4 Majestic AUs that I now need.

Love that Bobby Jackson, what a player to come off the bench for the Kings. Him & Bibby made a dangerous backcourt. And good ol' Buck Williams, I need his Knick auto. Nice additions!

RE: 2012-143 Crusade Majestic Signatures Set Chase Update: 2/9/14 A Legendary Update!!
I got two more in this weekend to put me at 19/100. I'll probably have a bunch to update in the next week or so as I found a seller in Australia that I bought a good sized Crusade lot from, and then I completed a bunch of trades. As always, thanks for looking and comments welcome.

Anthony Mason. Not the best auto, there is a gap in the M and the 14 looks sloppy, but very glad to have it.

And then there was Larry Legend! I don't care if it is a sticker auto, I get pumped every time I open an envelope and see a Bird auto.
