Don't get it twisted, I'm ever so grateful for pulling a 1/1 but as stated in the thread title...it's bittersweet.

Elite "Dominator" Parallel: Chris Bosh #244/999 (pictured below. Ugly card, IMO)

Autograph Cards: Dee Brown "Status Red Die-cut" Signature #94/99 (pictured below. My very first auto of Dee Brown, cool), Jerami Grant "Status Red Die-cut" Signature RC #71/99 (pictured below. I'm happy with this pull. This kid's father is Harvey Grant and his Uncle is Horace Grant. Pretty crazy..)





Bittersweet #1/1: Rajon Rondo "Court Kings - Black Press Proof" #1/1 (pictured below. I actually really do like the design of these "Court Kings" insert. It was unreal when I saw the "1 of 1" logo in the upper right corner. Why bittersweet? Rondo could've been the missing link to another Mavericks championship run this year. I really liked their team before the playoffs started. Maybe because they also had a few ex-Knicks. Nonetheless, Rondo's Mavericks run was quite tumultuous and will most likely be forgotten. This kinda reminds me of those short runs guy's like Antoine Walker, Nick Van Exel and Antawn Jamison had with the Mavericks. Not that those guys had bad runs. Just the fact the Mavs copped those talented players and some even came off the bench. I still love this card though!

any 1/1 is always good. At least it was a Allstar caliber player too.

Thanks. I really do like the look of the "Court Kings" insert, it's crazy I pulled a 1/1 from it. If it were an autograph subset I would think about putting it together.
