Banger Bros,

Some of you from way back might remember my mildly ambitious Vince Carter PC project ...

https://www.beckett.com/forums/thread-1533108.html

(TLDR ...)

When Vince, quite possibly my all-time favorite player, signed with the Sacramento Kings, my all-time favorite team, I decided I should get a jersey card and/or mem card of every team he has played on.

I thought I was done at the time ...

U. of North Carolina (mem and auto)
Toronto (mem and auto)
New Jersey (mem and auto)
Orlando (mem)
Phoenix (mem and TTM auto!)
Dallas (jersey auto card, traded for it on Beckett, one of my favorites)
Memphis (auto)
Sacramento (auto)

But then he signed with the Hawks, his final NBA team.

Pickings were few and far between other than National Treasures, so I was pretty stoked when I found this on the Bay the other night and had just enough left on a gift card to get it done ...




Project complete!

Congrats on the project RJ. Vince was a dunking machine. He was fun to watch.

Thank you!

Double bonus - the card came with a crease on the left side that it didn't have in the original DBay photo, so I messaged the seller and we worked out a partial refund of $4

So I ended up with this card for about $5 and change, shipped

If someone would have said to me, "you can complete your Vince PC with a Hawks jersey card, slightly damaged, for $5," I would take it seven days a week!

Good to hear that the seller wasn't part of the DBN and worked with you. Now you need to upgrade to all patches of Vince's cards instead of one color jersey pieces.

Holy crap man I can only accomplish so much in life

The cool thing aboiut the refund is I used the proceeds to buy a 2009 Topps draft day snapshot insert of Vince and Antwan Jamison holding their Warriors and Raptors hats right after getting traded for each other on draft night.

It's the only Vince card I've found that even shows him holding the Warriors hat, much less wearing it.

There is another Skybox card from 1999-00 that shows them together that same night, but after they traded hats.

I'm just trying to keep you challenged. I don't want you to complete all your projects and leave.

Nice work on adding a cool card with the refund money.

I never knew it existed!

That's even better when you find a sweet PC card that you never knew existed.
