Alrighty.

I'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/

Alrighty. I'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/ #Collect #TheHobby #WhoDoYouCollect #CollectWhatYouLove

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/

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'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't wait, so I stopped at a Starbucks parking lot and started flipping through.

I liked what I saw. 6/

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's in love with golf, plays with his dad, and is teaching his son. 8/

By this time, I'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.
