Agent 7o2 has achieved Super Collector Status with an amazing collection of Hakeem Olajuwon. Agent 7o2 owns 1,003 different cards including 69 different autos and 64 memorabilia cards! (and although auto'd memorabilia isn't included in the Supercollector program, his autographed jerseys and shoe is worth an honorable mention!)

Agent 7o2's Hakeem Olajuwon collection in his own words...

I started getting into basketball back in 92 and really started getting into card collecting around 94 when the Rocket's won their first Championship. I was always impressed with the big men of the league and around that time Hakeem Olajuwon was not only the best center but probably the best player overall in the league. I was amazed with his moves and versatility for a big man, and his famous "Dream Shake" on David Robinson is my favorite play of all time. That's why I decided to start collecting his cards. I would even trade more valuable cards such as Jordan just to add a few more to my collection.

Top 10 Favorites...

1. 06-07 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Autograph Patch #'d 062/100. My favorite Olajuwon card. I actually paid way over book value to get it. One of the most amazing patches I have ever seen.

2. 94-95 Skybox Premium Dual Autograph w/David Robinson #'d /1000. I remember seeing this back when it first came out and always dreamed of having it but couldn't afford or even find it. It took almost 15 years but I finally got it. My 2 favorite players autos both on 1 card.

3. 86-87 Fleer Rookie BGS 9. Olajuwon's rookie card from one of the greatest sets of all time.

4. 06-07 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Number Pieces #'d 23/34. Perfect auto and very nice patch. Looks even better in person.

5. 05-06 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Number Pieces #'d 29/34. The first ever Exquisite Collection card I have ever owned.

6. 85 Star XRC still in sealed team bag. How can the first card ever of Olajuwon not be on this list.

7. 94-95 Skybox Gold. When this first came out I thought it was one of the most amazing cards I ever saw and it still is today.

8. 96 Upper Deck SPX Gold Parallel. In my opinion this is one of the most beautiful set of all time.

9. 08-09 Upper Deck Exquisite Collection Enshrinements Dual Autograph w/David Robinson #'d 18/25. It's not the 94-95 Skybox but it is still a very nice card. I love the clean design.

10. 07-08 Upper Deck Black Triple Autograph w/Ralph Sampson and Yao Ming #'d 08/15. My only 3+ auto card. 2 Rocket legends and one possible future legend.

Wow very nice to see these cards. I collect Hakeem too and I'd have to dream (pardon the pun) to ever approach this collection :)

Thanks everyone for all of the comments. I can't believe I actually reached 1,000. I need to take a break for a while now. I've been spending way too much lately.
