Awesome Kareem! But so sorry about those other grades! Unless there were wrinkles and creases that you didn't mention.... Man, they reamed you. Especially on that Bowman Feller.

Adding T206s left and right- WOW. You’re just casually catching up to my Monster build like you picked up your takeout for supper 😂 Love the Zach Wheat especially! The Lew Alcindor RC has to be in the top 10, no doubt!

Very nice! Thanks for sharing

Mike, we are 1969 Topps Kareem RC clubbies! Congrats, your copy is so sharp and clean! I think of 1969 Topps Basketball as being sort of like 1952 Topps baseball in some ways. I think the 1969 Topps Kareem RC is absolutely one of the most iconic vintage basketball card! Looking forward to seeing you at the Big Show! 😊👊

Sweet cards Mike, the Alcindor RC is one I want to add someday yours in a 7 is a monster card. I think it is definitely top 4 or 5 basketball cards of all time. For me it is right behind the 61 Fleer Chamberlain, Jerry West and Bill Russell!

Great Kareem. That would definitely be on the Mike Payne top 300 list for basketball cards. If there is such a list.

Lew is one of top 10 Vintage rookie cards. Mikan, Wilt, Russell, Baylor, Robertson, West,Maravich, Erving,Cousy. Bird/Magic if you call that vintage. Jordan classifies as Modern to me. Thanks for the show.

Some great additions there, Mike. Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to you getting more cards back from PSA and co. 👍

These look great man! I got to see a Rangers game for the first time on Tuesday and loved it! I am a Cardinals fan, but the 7-0 win was fun to be a part of.

Love this new fan octavio

Good Stuff as always! Hey Mike, life happens and I missed the live Showcase Showdown of Mickey! Do you plan on posting the recording of that??

Those are nice cards. Congrats.

Fantastic cards Mike; happy 4th!

Hi Mike. My favorite is the Bob Feller card. Thanks for sharing.

The Kareem rookie is a top 10 basketball card, for sure.

Nice cards . Love the t205’s too . Kareem rc easy top 5 if not top 3

What an amazing Kareem! That's not just a tall boy, that's a big boy card. And that '49 Feller, I absolutely love that card. Awesome eye appeal for a 1.5.

Great cards Mike that Kareem card is beautiful! Top 5 basketball card of all time.

Wow!!!!! Beautiful bob feller and Kareem rookie! Never seen such a nice graded kareem rookie.. I'm jealous 😊

# 1 for the Lew Alcindor rookie I remember him at UCLA He played only 3 years because freshman were not aloud to play Varsity Also There was no dunking aloud back then either.

Great Mike! Yes the Lew Alcindor is one of the greatest cards ever! I sold a raw one back during the pandemic for $2500 in bad condition. Raw.

Fun cards, hopefully soccer eventually makes it into the collection 😁

Wow. The Kareem is beautiful.

Sweet cards Mike! Love the standup Clemente and the Jabbar is awesome!

Great cards Mike! I find it strange you now have a higher graded Lew Alcindor RC than me though!

What a mail day! You know which one I’m dreaming about. Congrats on the Kareem rookie! Legendary card and player

Amazing additions. That Kareem is spectacular.

agree with the "OC". Thank you for posting.

The Alcindor card, top 5 card for sure. To me it's a generational if moving from Wilt> Lew> Magic/Bird> Jordan> Kobe> Lebron.

I think i like the T205 better too. Love the Lew Alcindor!!!

Great keepers Mike! Good question, I would go by how often I see them and put the 1948 Bowman Mikan, 1951 Scott's Potato Chip Mikan, 1957 Topps Russell, Fleer Wilt, West, Baylor and Big O, then Jabbar as my favorites. I don't have Jordon high because I've seen collections with 50+ Jordan's. Jordan, Lebron and Kobe in the top 15. Dr J, Cousy and Bird Magic up there too. Probably missing someone.

Great additions. I think the Alcindor is a top 5 card. Probably depends on how you want to look at it: vintage, iconic, etc. I have one as well, but not nearly that nice. Love the t205 Collins. Such a beautiful card.

Top 10 basketball rookie card? Absolutely. Top 10 basketball card? Well now you've evoked the legend of the golden age of inserts/parralels of 1995-1998 basketball and basketball cards. And that conversation could literally be filled with all jordan cards 😂

Outstanding Alcindor card!!

I’m earmarked as never before 65 business days. Sent 10 graded cards. July 12 is 65 business days. I’ve not once had good service from PSA, but I’m not famous :)

Nice Lew!!!

Happy 4th of July, Mike! Some great additions to your collection!

Maybe PSA is behind on assembly because they are caught between a shit and a sweat on which plastic to entomb the cards in?

Amazing stuff! A 7 in Kareem is nuts. I’m 2 cards away from completing the T205 set. Just need Joss $ Cy Young. I share your opinion on the T205!

Wow, gorgeous Alcindor rookie. Congratulations on the pickups

Cool pickups Mike! That Rose is amazing

If you want basketball's version of the T206 Wagner, my recommendation is to acquire the '48 Bowman George Mikan. One day I hope to own a copy. They're fairly rare

Nice cards Mike

Congrats on the lew! I had a big basketball pickup myself. I literally got a bird magic rookie in psa 7 TODAY! Been chasing it for years! So awesome when you get one of your grail cards. As a long time collector, those are the absolute best hobby days?

Congrats, Mike! Great cards. That Alcindor is amazing, and I would think it would have to be a top 10- 15 baskerball card of all time.The Feller has to be one of the best-looking 1.5s on earth. I also prefer the T205s over the T206 cards. Great cards!

Why PSA? I can see it for ultra-modern flippers, but for Vintage cards???

Back when the nba meant something

Does the beast accommodate those tall boy cards?

Feller has a crease running left to right in the middle of it

Love the brown let me know if you want to sell

The Bob Feller has a surface wrinkle on the front, straight across the middle. That is the PSA 1.5.

I've had an order in Assembly for at least a week, probably more like 10 days now. PSA estimated the order would be out by Aug 5, so they're still ahead of schedule, but still kinda annoying.

My top 10 hoops cards: 1. 1948 Bowman MIkan 2. 1957 Topps Russell 3. 1951 Berk Ross Cousey 4. 1990 Hoops Uwe Blab 5. 1980 Topps Bird/DrJ/Magic 6. 1961 Fleer Wilt 7. 1972 Topps Dr. J 8. 1969 Topps Lew Alcindor 9. 1970 Topps Pistol Pete 10. 1969 Topps Lew Alcindor ruler 11. 1971 Topps Manny Leaks
