Congratulations on the Monroe, those are so tough!

Adam, nice 79 Kareem. That was the first Jabbar I ever had, still my favorite.

Traded in a box of 1970s commons for that Kareem and a 1978 Payton at my LCS.

Mixed info on whether this is his true RC or a pre RC?

[Kurri17]

That's interesting. My first thought was that I didn't understand the confusion, that it was his true RC. A quick search of eBay and I see the 92/93 UD WJC being listed as the RC, so I see the question. For my money, your example is the RC, mainstream issue (that stuff wasn't exactly hard to get, I had a lot and live in TN) from UD, pretty much an addendum to their North American issue. Maybe not the most persuasive of arguments, but I call that the RC. Really nice card regardless.

I know, eh!

I was briefly looking through some cards thinking of some cards I'd like to own and that is when I found this Kayria card.
It was listed as his RC but when I did some further digging, I found another piece that said his 92-93 was his "True" RC?

Like I mentioned in my 1st post, the info is scattered with some reading mine and others reading 92-93. I don't think, for whatever reason(s), it was ever entirely solved/proved?

" Rookie Card: Kariya’s rookie card is in the 1992-93 Upper Deck Hockey set, as a part of its World Junior Championships subset, a good two years before his NHL debut. Like most hockey cards made in the early 1990s, it is very easy to find. A more challenging – and earlier – Kariya card to track down is from the 1991-92 Upper Deck World Junior Championship set, which was sold in Czechoslovakia in 1992"

Picked this up last month. Tough enough to find unsigned.

91 Upper Deck Czech made it to America in mass quantities. The Kariya card is easy.

"The Batters Box" had a 20% off sale during Black Friday, and I picked up quite a few low grade hits to my Parkhurst sets. Including this 1961 Gordie Howe.

[Exhibitman]

Nuttin' wrong with that. I picked up a Howe item too:

I thought I recognized your name Adam when I packed the order. Nice pickup, I really like the Howe.
