Buying the wrong card....

The above card turned up this week in my mail-day package. Unfortunately though it is the wrong card. There is though only one person to blame. Me....I simply bought the wrong card. 

I clearly was just not concentrating when I hit the BIN at the time and did not pay attention to the auction description that accurately detailed the card in question. I was looking for the 2007-08 Upper Deck Premier Penmanship Autograph of Horace Grant, to go with the other five cards I have from the set. 

It transpires that there is a gold parallel version of  the set as well! And it was the parallel version of Mr Grant that I unintentionally purchased. 

I really should pay a bit more attention before I hit that Buy It Now button!   

2007-08 Upper Deck Premier Penmanship

On Saturday, I posted an image of a 2007-08 Upper Deck Premier Penmanship card of Dennis Rodman, that I had received that morning in the mail. Today, I thought I would showcase the four remaining cards from the same set that accompanied it. Namely those of Jason Kidd, Paul Pierce, Walt Frazier and Dominique Wilkins.

The Paul Pierce version is a particularly pleasing addition, in that not only does does it fit in with my focus on autograph cards of players who were drafted in the 90s, have been an NBA All-Star and won an NBA Championship, but it is also the first card featuring his autographed that I have in my collection. It's arrival, with the Celtics forward currently pushing hard for his third appearance in the NBA finals in five years, is also well timed.

The 2007-08 Upper Deck Premier release featured some great looking autograph cards (I particularly liked the 'Consummate Masters' set) and I plan to add a number of others stars & legends from this set to my collection ver there coming months. If anyone has any for sale or trade, please do hit me up via the 'Contact Me' page, which can be found on the right hand side of this blog.
