The facial expressions on the Topps Shaq RC make it a wonderful card collectible just for the photo.
It’s a great photo and it could be a snake but…
…as someone who still plays, the thinking (and sometimes verbal output) that accompanies that face especially from a big is usually along the lines of ‘Why haven’t you thrown me the f’n ball yet? I’m open and this guy has no business guarding me’ or some version therein.

Love those Flagg's. To hit it on a live break is amazing!
I think basketball is the sport to collect right now for numerous reasons:
Flagg could become an MVP caliber player and become a megastar.
Wemby could become the best ever if he doesn't get hurt. He has the highest ceiling of any player since Kareem 60 years ago. Then known as Lew Alcindor he was a 19-year-old student playing center for the UCLA Bruins under coach John Wooden. Because of NCAA freshman rules at the time, he made his legendary varsity debut on December 3, 1966, scoring 56 points against USC to break the school's single-game record.
Lebron will be playing in his historic 24th season, Durant in his 19th, and Curry in his 18th. Those cards are cardboard gold!

Thanks Cakes - yeah I've been keen on basketball and have also been buying some graded outside of my ripping to re-build my collection.
I’m a winter guy. Someone on our board…says thank goodness January is over. I say thank goodness July is over …and in less than two (2) weeks thank goodness August is over as well. Here in southwest Ohio, we have lost nearly 1 1/2 hours of daylight since our longest day of daylight.

Careful with dcsports87.
There is some shill bidding going on.
I can guarantee you I don't shill bid - everything I have ever consigned to dcsports87 has sold with no de-faults and I have always been paid. Just my experience. I use them typically for smaller value cards from my collection as I thin and adjust - anything with high value I send to the Large Auction Houses - Heritage, REA, Fanatics, Goldin etc.
I have some CARD LOTS sent off to Collect Auctions for their upcoming October Auction.

Wouldn't someone who does shill bid say the same thing?
People here point out the bad actors like Probstein, PWCC, Brent, etc. based on their own experiences and then swear to never do business with them, and often times encourage others to do the same.
I was just pointing out that there is SOME shill bidding on dcsports87, based on my experiences.
If you read into my comment to be some sort of accusation, that's on you.
In general feel free to pound sand elsewhere like a post designed to pound sand in the first place. I really don't care about all the negativity re-hashed over and over and over on CU. I am fully aware of what goes on in the HOBBY and that schill bidding "for example" occurs practically everywhere and have been stung myself being bid up. In the meantime, I am building another collection through ripping and buying and yes some selling along the way. I have no complaints about dcsports thus far and don't have the time to list cards one at a time on EBAY and ship those same cards. Good luck collecting.
Just bid at the last minute the MOST your willing to pay and that solves the shill bidding concern. NO? Dutch auction format start high and come down in price and the first to bid gets the item. Rock on party people

You say you don't care about the negativity but you cared enough with multiple responses with passive aggressive mocking and LOLing based on what, my comment in passing not directed at you?
My comment was directed at dcsports87. While you and your little buddy's comments were directed at me personally.
See the difference?
But that's awesome you have no complaints with dcsports87 and that you support their business!
Nothing but positivity and good vibes here!
This thread is meant for a positive ride Ripping and sharing cards not dump sessions from you.

Cannot believe some of these are not 10's....unbelievable.
Liberty Seated Half Dollars
Last 2 from this Break
The Kareem hat trick…nice!
Great Ozzie. Looks like a 10, probably get a 7! Beautiful card.
Uff, once again thank you for the time and effort to post all of the images. The PSA 8 and 9's are blazers!
Unfortunately the new norm is to never expect a PSA 10 anymore and to just be thrilled if you hit on one.

Wow, you have a Flagg rainbow in the works. I love the Ozzie autos.
Came across this card I pulled back in college while chasing Shaq Rookies...
1992-93 Upper Deck Award Winner Hologram Michael Jordan #AW9 Insert.
I haven't jumped in on a Live Break since January.
Was recently watching random team spot bidding on a FULL HOBBY CASE (8-BOX) OF 25/26 INCEPTION.
The MAVS were hanging in with only a few teams remaining so I bid $242 and luckily landed them on the spin.
Sent some Shaq cards I pulled "back in the day" off to Power Sports Memorabilia for Autos and PSA Grading.

It's the singer not the song - Peter Townshend (1972)
Not even a minute do I buy the whole buh buh buh I'm a man-child japery - Me (2025)
Wow, awesome!
Hiya Chris
Are you running of space. You've got an incredible collection.
Since I collect BB board games, coin ops and oddball memorabilia - I'm out of space!
Thanx for sharing these many days. 👍

Were you being warned not to bid on your own cards? Shame.

Ron like others before you let's keep this thread for display of cards pulled from newly ripped packs.
You can easily start another thread and quote from this one but let's keep this thread peaceful -- Please

Anyways - back to what this thread was started for - ripping and some good times.
Will try some packs from this box this week and share - looking for Dinosaur ROOKIES
I'd be especially impressed if you can get any of them autographed.
if you pull a pink ice prizm triceratops with psa & mba potential, holla at your boy
.
Nu Card! I love their monster issues. Wouldn't an autographed dino card resemble this though?
