Alrighty.

I& #39;ve inquired about this collection for about 8 years. Every now and again I would touch base.

I had seen the collection once before, when I pulled some Durant and Westbrook rookies as well as some autos. 1/

I remember the collection being pretty large.

For whatever reason, I thought about the collection Tuesday morning.

So I looked back at our past exchanges and I saw this pic from 2016. 2/

Now...I KNEW he would& #39;ve ripped it, but seeing that picture made me realize that this collection might be worth the money. 3/

Back when we both went to the same LCS, he would open whatever the owner would say.

He would leave the autos behind for store credit n box everything up and be on his way.

This was practically every day for years circa 2008-2012ish. 4/

So anyway...after seeing that box of Prizm in a message (and after seeing I had given him a heads up about Giannis), I figured I& #39;d inquire again. 5/

After a short conversation, we came to an agreement. He wanted it gone. I picked it up later that afternoon.

I couldn& #39;t wait, so I stopped at a Starbucks parking lot and started flipping through.

I liked what I saw. 6/

I spent that night pulling an all-nighter. I spent another day sifting through the collection for a 2nd time with rested eyes.

And here are the results: 7/

I remember him opening a bunch of these boxes. He must have gotten tired of it as he left 5 boxes unopened.

I was able to make 3 full Tiger Tales sets for my buddy who& #39;s in love with golf, plays with his dad, and is teaching his son. 8/

Numbered stuff.

Lighting is bad, obviously, but the highlights are the Steph and Pops rookie /249 and Harden/Darren Williams rookie /50.

All the rest are numbered as well. 15/

There was a small stack of 13-14 Hoops. Seems like he might& #39;ve opened half a box worth.

Fortunate to have this Giannis chilling...WITHOUT A SLEEVE...but in GREAT condition!!!

By this time, I& #39;ve gone through 90% of the collection...looking for 2 more things...

The first, more commons from 2011 Update. And I found it!!!

But no fish. Sort of a letdown, even though I was already so far ahead.
