Man, I blew my budget for this card, but I fell in love with it at first sight.

Well if your going to buy a signed basketball card why not get the best card in the history of basketball?

TP and this is awesome. Didn't even know something like this existed and I don't blame you for breaking the bank!

Toms canvas sneakers. Love what I bought but I still think it was too much.

Without getting specific, between $750 and $1000.  It's going to be awhile before I tell my wife about this one.  This was my present to myself this year.

Yep, League Pass. It's only $200 but the games are all free (illegal) online with good feeds. Then add on to it how bad your team is or could be and it's even worse. I'll still get it every season.


I buy other things that are too much money FOR ME lol but it wouldn't be too much for many people. I spend way too much on miniature stuff which can get very expensive unless you buy one piece once in a blue moon or are able to create it yourself. 0.0
It takes me 3hrs to get to Miami and 1hr to get to Orlando... but I *SPIT* on their NBA teams! "Bless God and bless the (Celts)"-Lady GaGa (she said gays but she really meant Celts)

Only stuff from Victoria Secret, Wicked Weasel, and a couple other website of ill repute. Don't judge me.

Wow! That's well worth it Roy, if I had seen that I would have bought it myself!

Is there a similar card with the trio in their professional days? How much does that one cost?

There probably is, but it won't be a recent one. Jordan has an exclusive signing contract with Upper Deck, and UD lost their agreement with the NBA a few years back (so now they can't use NBA logos, hence the college uniforms). It all depends on what the seller wants, and it varies greatly from person to person, but you'd probably be looking at something at least priced at what Roy paid, if not priced higher.
