Khendra has achieved Super Collector Status with her large Antoine Walker collection. She currently owns 770 different cards out of a possible 2087. Truly one of the best Antoine Walker collections in existence.

Collection Totals
Autographs: 10/153
Game Used: 73/412
Rookie Cards: 18/18
Base: 384
Inserts: 253
Parallels: 132
Overall: 770/2087 = 36.9% complete!

Favorite Cards

1. 2002-03 UD Glass Autofocus #AW (Blue Autograph)
http://i42.tinypic.com/2m34uxh.jpg
My favorite Antoine autograph because the ink reflects off the glass in such a way that it has a cool, almost 3D look to it.


2. 1997-98 Finest Refractors #312 (Serial #145/289)
http://i42.tinypic.com/bjbmnt.jpg
My favorite refractor and parallel; awesome-looking, shiny gold card which booked $60 for a long time as #/289 was considered scarce in the '90s.


3. 2001-02 Upper Deck MVP Souvenirs #AW/PP (Game Used Ball)
http://i41.tinypic.com/1072rra.jpg
Nice GU concept, and this one is done better than 1997 Collector's Edge since the ball pieces aren't hidden behind plastic, and the fresh rubber smell is still there.


4. 1996-97 SkyBox Premium Autographics #87 (Black Autograph)
http://i43.tinypic.com/vvnv7.jpg
Antoine's rookie autograph from perhaps the greatest set in basketball history; there was no way I could leave this off my top five list.


5. 2004-05 SP Game Used Authentic Patches #AP-AW (Serial #024/100 Blue & White Patch)
http://i40.tinypic.com/16iw0v4.jpg
It's hard to find Antoine patches, and this one has what looks to be a nice chunk of the "W" from his last name.


6. 1997-98 Ultra Star Power Supreme #13
http://i44.tinypic.com/108eds0.jpg
This is a high end insert worth $40, and it looks absolutely amazing. Fleer had some great insert designs in the mid-to-late nineties, and this card is an example of such.


7. 1996-97 Topps Chrome RC #146
http://i44.tinypic.com/2vmvuxw.jpg
Easily Antoine's most desired and most valuable rookie card from the very first year of Topps Chrome. A definite must-have for any serious Antoine collector.


8. 2001-02 Upper Deck Sweet Shot Signature Shots #AW-S (Blue Autograph)
http://i44.tinypic.com/2d6o93.jpg
I love Sweet Shot's autographs on basketball-styled rubber textures. This is the first year of Sweet Shot, so that makes it even better.


9. 2002-03 SP Authentic SP Signatures #AW (Blue Autograph)
http://i43.tinypic.com/2w227pz.jpg
This is a nice, clean on-card auto, something you don't see as much of these days.


10. 2005-06 Finest X-Fractors Green #50 (Serial #68/69)
http://i39.tinypic.com/2aewodf.jpg
This Antoine X-Fractor is numbered to just 69, making it one of my lowest-numbered cards. The design is also sweet.


Congratulations on becoming the second Basketball Super Collector!

Congrats Khendra! That Autofocus is pretty sick looking.

JammingJames23
01-14-2009, 09:10 PM
The Autofocus is also one of the few I have not picked up online - it was at a local card place, and I got it for just $7. I was very happy that day!

Thanks guys!

It took awhile for me to accumulate my list via text and divide it into various types, but it was worth it for this honor! There are lots of great collections out there, and I am just glad mine is one of them - looking forward to seeing others soon as well. This is definitely one of the coolest ideas on SCF.

Congrats Khendra! I can't remember but I think I may have contributed a few base cards at some point. I'll keep you in mind if I come across any walkers you are missing! & the autographics card is awesome.

Thanks guys! I know my collection isn't as high end as the others, but I've tried to make up for it by getting as much quantity as possible. I think I have all his base except a few college oddball and 06-07 UD Reserve. There are still some fairly low end inserts and parallels out there though - it's just a matter of tracking them sometime.

Thats half the battle sometimes with certain players. I am trying to nail down a lot of random Oscar inserts that are low end, etc but they can be a pain to find sometimes.

I really like the Autographics cards. They were always a really nice surprise, and you could get practically anyone.

JammingJames23
08-14-2009, 08:36 PM
Thanks, guys. Yeah, Autographics was a great set!

Added five more Walkers today with about 15 more incoming - sportlots had some oddball inserts for me to add.
