I consider the 1992 US Olympic Dream Team to be the greatest assemblage of basketball talent on one team ever. I'm attempting to get the whole team on this piece. Got this one back today from the Michael Jordan Upper Deck Authenticated signing. Turned out great EXCEPT UPS absolutely butchered it on the return trip. I'm filing a claim with UPS for damage. You can't see it from the scan here, BUT they put a crease into the photo through the bottom of the photo up through the Jordan sig and then all the way to the right edge of the photo. Poor, poor, service from UPS. Oh well, no use crying over it, what's done is done but one good thing is that I could see before I opened the package that it was going to be damaged as the package looked like a truck ran over it, so I took plenty of pictures BEFORE I opened it as evidence.
Nevertheless, here's my Dream Team project piece. Down to 3 more to go (Stockton, Ewing, Malone-they are by far the hardest, but if push comes to shove, I've got a friend that works in the NBA that knows them so I've got a chance
He has gotten those 3 for me before on other items that I asked for, but I like to try for myself first if possible )
UDA hologram is on the lower right front, and Bird and Magic signing holograms are on the reverse. Out of the various things I have, this is one of my favorite pieces (once I get over the anger from the crease )

<< <i>Killer piece! I'm curious, what makes Malone and Stockton so hard? Is it because they just aren't out in public like some of the others? >>
The last three are tough but I'd say in order of likeliness of getting them, it's Malone, Stockton and then Ewing, easily. I've seen Stockton sign once in my life and Ewing once and Malone a few times but earlier on, Ewing was still very tough. I think the other thing that adds to it now is that they don't do shows.
Also, have 3 signed books left (pictured below) if anyone wants one for $45 NET to me via paypal. I don't collect them so I'll make them available at a reasonable price.

Stockton and Malone were tough but not impossible in person in the early 1990s, however Stockton would refuse to sign cards. Malone was an OK signer in person early on then got progressively tougher but now I hear he's darn near impossible.
As far as I know neither has been ever gettable (?) through the mail, at least with authentic signatures.

Stockton still won't sign cards. At his recent book signings, he will sign one piece of memorabilia with every book purchased if you want, EXCEPT, no trading cards,

Good morning Louie,
I'll respectfully disagree with you. Even though I do wear progressive bifocals, and I do occasionally blunder, I feel secure in what my autograph eyes see in this one

<< <i>LOL I was kidding with you! That out of all of those great autos the one that's no good is Laettner. Hey I made you laugh Mike. >>
Louie,
It did make me smile. When I first read it, I thought to myself WTH did I miss. I got out my magnifier and took a 45th look, and after arriving at the same conclusion again and again, I just chalked it up to you perhaps having had too much Chicago Pizza
Also, if anyone wants to take up the challenge on their own. I have the little sibling to the above piece available. Back has Larry Bird's hologram and a Hall of Fame Sports (Magic Johnson's signing) hologram attached. Has been signed authentically by 7 members of the historic squad including Bird, Pippen, Magic, Laettner, Drexler, Mullin and David Robinson. $450 NET to me via paypal.
Size is 8 x 10.
With Stockton having another book signing soon on December 8 or 9 in Spokane (I should have sent it when I sent my main one a couple weeks ago but didn't want to push my luck, LOL) and Ewing signing at Steiner on December 17th, you could make some serious progress towards completing this bad boy. If anyone wants to try it let me know, otherwise, I'll probably work on 2 myself.

and here is it's little brother, went ahead and had this one done too.

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
