How's it going? I'm Walker Neilson, a Portland Trail Blazer fan for life. I chose to begin a blog for 2010. I don't know how far it will go, but I'll try to have frequest posts on here. It will be a mix of NBA talk and sports card talk. Thanks!

Beautiful Black Basketball Bayless!

So...Portland is on a 3-game winning streak. That's noteworthy. Granted, they weren't against top-of-the-line teams, but we will take what we can get. Don't ask me why this is a link. I have no clue.

Oh, and thanks to Guy's Blog and his widgets, I can tell you Portland is only 4.5 games behind Denver for the division title. Not too bad.

As for the card collecting world today, I got a really really really really very really really fantastic-looking card in today and it is of a Blazer this time. Any guesses? It's a dude. And he plays basketball....no? He wears number 4.

WOOO Bayless! Got this one off of good ol' eBay for a single Alexander Hamilton and I have to say it's the most well-designed and -executed card I have owned for a long, long time. It's an 08/09 UD Black Jerryd Bayless auto rookie quad jersey /99. The rainbow foil really makes the card pop out and I love the silver on card signature. And to be honest, I couldn't decide which picture to use, so here's like 5 of them. Oh, and it's numbered 58/99.







Thanks for reading!

  2. Cool Card. I like that you put all the pics up. Scans don't always capture the entire beauty of a card? UD Black is one of my favorite all-time card lines. I love every thing about them, except price of course. So who is your favorite player to collect?

  3. Hey Charles,

    Thanks for your feedback! It certainly is one of the nicest looking sets out there. My main player collection is Zach Randolph, been collecting him for about 3 years now.

    Thanks!
