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!
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.
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! 😊👊
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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
# 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.
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 😂
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 :)
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!
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
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.

Some great additions there, Mike.
Thanks for sharing, and I look forward to you getting more cards back from PSA and co. 👍
Very nice! Thanks for sharing
Hi Mike. My favorite is the Bob Feller card. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Jim
Great Kareem. That would definitely be on the Mike Payne top 300 list for basketball cards. If there is such a list.

Wow!!!!! Beautiful bob feller and Kareem rookie! Never seen such a nice graded kareem rookie.. I'm jealous 😊
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.
Wow. The Kareem is beautiful.
Thanks Andrew
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.
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 😁
Amazing additions. That Kareem is spectacular.
Sweet cards Mike! Love the standup Clemente and the Jabbar is awesome!
What a mail day! You know which one I’m dreaming about. Congrats on the Kareem rookie! Legendary card and player
You are the only one who can buy the 3 Finger card
agree with the "OC". Thank you for posting.
Those are nice cards. Congrats.
Great cards Mike that Kareem card is beautiful! Top 5 basketball card of all time.
Fantastic cards Mike; happy 4th!
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
Love this new fan octavio
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.
Happy 4th of July, Mike! Some great additions to your collection!
Great cards Mike! I find it strange you now have a higher graded Lew Alcindor RC than me though!
Great keepers Mike!

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??
Cool pickups Mike! That Rose is amazing
Wow, gorgeous Alcindor rookie. Congratulations on the pickups
Outstanding Alcindor card!!
It really is!
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 😂
The Alcindor card, top 5 card for sure. To me it's a generational if moving from Wilt> Lew> Magic/Bird> Jordan> Kobe> Lebron.
Nice cards Mike
Thanks Peter
Maybe PSA is behind on assembly because they are caught between a shit and a sweat on which plastic to entomb the cards in?
I think i like the T205 better too. Love the Lew Alcindor!!!
Thanks Brad

Why PSA? I can see it for ultra-modern flippers, but for Vintage cards???
Because that is what I collect and because if we do sell them, then PSA generally sells for more money.
Back when the nba meant something
My top 10 hoops cards:
1. 1948 Bowman MIkan
2. 1957 Topps Russell

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
@@doktorcopernikuss Uwe Blab??? Really??
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!
Feller has a crease running left to right in the middle of it
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.
Yeah. It doesn’t make any sense to me.
The Bob Feller has a surface wrinkle on the front, straight across the middle. That is the PSA 1.5.
I saw it after I shot the video
Does the beast accommodate those tall boy cards?
It does indeed. In fact, I have 8 drawers that hold tall boys.
Love the brown let me know if you want to sell
Either my other friend will buy it or I will keep it. Sorry.
Mikan rookie
srry to hear psa have put more gray in your beard. i know it's not from Julie lol
How has PSA put more gray in my beard?
@BaseballCollector you said things are backed up
@@rj-vj8gr They have been backed up in some way for four years. Nothing new
@BaseballCollector that's alot of gray
My favorite set is the t205. Their great
