On the site, Upper Deck made the cards look significantly different (you can see the two cards here on COMC). Unfortunately, in-hand, there's very little difference. To be honest, I am kind of guessing which pattern is which. It's frustrating, but at least I have a couple of copies of Joe Alexander cards that are a little different.
I've lost interest in basketball since WVU moved to the Big 12 and Alexander was my last real "favorite" Mountaineer. After the cards, you can see a clip of my favorite highlight. The dude was awesome!

I could have just waited and bought the cards cheaper on COMC. However, I was really enjoying ePack at that time (but spending way too much money) and there's something cool about knowing you did actual work to get a card in-hand. I don't regret it at all.
If you shop online and haven't signed up and used ebates yet, you're missing out. I also use it on eBay to get money back from purchases there. Between referrals and cash back, I've gotten over $150 in a year. FREE CARDS!
If you're on Twitter, please give me a follow. You can also find me on Trading Card Database. I love trading cards, when it makes sense. Happy collecting!
Cool, how many total are in the Turkish set?
ReplyDeleteGood to know Alexander's professional career is still alive and kicking. He was one of the last NBA draft classes I collected before I stopped collecting basketball.
