2023 COMC BINGE - PART 15: HORF BANG
PART TWO OF THE NEW ADDITIONS TO THE HEYWARD/HORFORD/TUGGLE BINDER. THIS ONE IS SOMEWHAT TOPICAL SINCE AL'S CURRENTLY TRYING TO GET HIS FIRST NBA TITLE WITH BOSTON. I WON'T TURN MY NOSE UP AT HORFORD CARDS IN A CELTICS, 76ERS OR THINDER UNI BUT I LOVE FINDING COOL CARDS OF HIM AS A HAWK THAT I DIDN'T ALREADY HAVE. THIS IS DEFINITELY IN A HAWKS UNI
2013-14 PANINI PINNACLE AL HORFORD BIG BANG
THIS CARD WAS ONE THAT ALMOST MADE IT INTO MY CART IN 2022. I COULDN'T PASS IT UP THIS TIME ESPECIALLY AT THIRTY-SEVEN CENTS. I WAS INTERESTED IN THIS CARD BECAUSE I THOUGHT IT WAS DUFEX. PINNACLE BASEBALL HAD DUFEX INSERTS AT THE TIME, I FIGURED SO DID BASKETBALL. THERE MAY BE SOME OTHER PINNACLE HOOPS CARDS IN DUFEX BUT THIS AIN'T ONE OF THEM. THIS IS ETCHED FOIL IN A VERY COMPLICATED PATTERN THAT LOOKS A BIT LIKE DUFEX BUT THERE IS NO DOOF. IT'S AS DIFFICULT TO SEE IN PERSON AS IT IS IN A PHOTO SO HERE'S ANOTHER LOOK AT IT FROM A DIFFERENT ANGLE
I APPRECIATE THE ETCHED FOIL BIG IN THE BACKGROUND BUT THE REST OF THE ETCHING MAKES IT REALLY HARD TO SEE THE PHOTOS IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN ON DUFEX FOR SOME REASON. WHO KNEW THAT EASILY DINGABLE PLASTIC COATING WAS SO IMPORTANT. I'M SLIGHTLY DISAPPOINTED THAT THE CARD THAT LOOKED A BIT LIKE ASS IN THE LISTING PHOTO CONTINUED TO LOOK LIKE ASS IN PERSON BUT IF I FOUND THIS IN A FIFTY CENT BOX I WOULD'VE GONE APESHIT. AND I GOT THIS CHEAPER THAN THAT!
THE BACK IS BORING BUT READABLE. I AM HEAVILY INVESTED IN THESE NBA FINALS BECAUSE IF BOSTON WINS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PLAYERS OF ALL TIME WILL HAVE A RING ON HIS WAY TO THE HALL OF FAME AND OF THE MAVS WIN I GET TO HEAR ABOUT LOSING THE TRADE FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE. NO PRESSURE BOSTON, IT'S JUST MY HAPPINESS FOREVER AT STAKE. THIS POST ISN'T THE BEST THING I GOT ON MY PINGE BY FAR BUT I WILL TRY TO MAKE IT UP TO YOU WITH A PIC OF MY 2013-14 HORFORD PAGE
ALMOST A COMPLETE PAGE! THAT CRUSADE CARD WITH THE HOLOFOIL AND HAWKS COLORS IS A TOP FIVE CARD IN THE HORFORD COLLECTION FOR ME. THERE'S ALSO A LITTLE PREVIEW OF THE SUBECT OF NEXT WEEK'S POST. I BET NO ONE WILL BE ABLE TO GUESS WHAT CARD IT IS. WELL, JUNKWAXTWINS COULD BUT HE'S GOT INSIDER INFO
