So this stuff is not high end at all but it still is good in the fact you can check out some nice looking cards from a few years ago, some of the designs are great and go relatively unnoticed.
Seems a trend that I liked watching the lanky young dudes play haha - Garnett, Durant in that group too. These guys did ok but had so much potential it's just SMH material at what they could have done in the league if they had the drive/work ethic it required. If their goal was to get that money then they achieved the goal but it would have been great to see a few more years high quality play for sure.
Just picked up a few things from COMC which caught my eye. Not much in the Miles/Swift/Clark PC so if you have any lmk and I'll see if I need it!!!! Mainly after Miles Clippers and GU/AU, Clark Nuggets and Swift RC/GU but hit me up.

from, bleacherreport #11 bust of last 20 years
Bender was the MVP for the West in the 1999 McDonald's High School All-America game. Not only that, but he set the record for the most points ever scored in the annual event. He dropped 31 points, breaking the record of 30, previously held by some guy named, Michael Jordan.
He was even being hyped as possibly the next Kevin Garnett. To say the least, Bender had high hopes of thriving in the NBA. Those hopes quickly faded as Bender could never find his groove at the NBA level.
Notable players selected after Bender: Richard Hamilton, Andre Miller, Wally Szczerbiak, Shawn Marion, Jason Terry, Corey Maggette, Ron Artest, Andrei Kirilenko and Manu Ginobili
