    Basketball Super Collector Information Thread

    SCF Basketball Super Collector HOF Information Thread



    Basketball Super Collector forum will honor those with the most prestigious collections of a player, team, or sets. You will be recognized in the HOF and receive your very own unique badge under your username. You can be honored as a Super Collector of multiple players or multiple teams. However, you will receive only one badge. There may be future perks and contests for HOFers! The best collections of the card hobby are here!


    How do I apply?

    You can apply to become a player, team, or set super collector. Or all three! First, you must meet one of the requirements below (player, team, set). How do I find out? Well, for player collectors you can use the search feature on Beckett.com to find out how many cards of a player exist.

    If you meet the requirements then PM DunkingDurant
    to submit your application. The review process (see below) will begin.

    Player information is pulled from the free Beckett.com search. Please take a several minutes to research your collection before applying.




    Review Process
    After you apply for Super Collector status, you will be contacted by DunkingDurant35, who will contact you at her earliest convenience.

    First, you should have a detailed list of all of your cards. Send this list in text. Serial numbers on your numbered cards are preferred. These numbers will be kept private. If you do not have a list of cards, then please work on it.

    Ideally, you should also have a PhotoBucket that displays your collection. Your entire collection does not need to be scanned, but staff may request for certain cards to be scanned when they update your status. Failure to provide scans may result in denial of your application.

    Some breakdown of your collection is helpful. If you are applying for option #1 of a player, then the following information is helpful:

    Example:
    Auto -
    GU -
    Rookie cards (true) -
    Rookie parallels -
    1/1 -
    Logoman/tagmen/other high end -


    After staff has gathered all of the necessary information, they will review your application and vote on its induction. Review process will usually last seven days but may go longer.

    If you are denied, don't fret. Improve your collection and you can re-apply 30 days after the denial PM.



    HOF Status
    The status of each Super Collector will be checked roughly every four months. You may lose your Super Collector rank if you fail to update staff or fall out of a requirement or sell your collection.



    Important Guidelines
    -DO YOUR RESEARCH! Utilize the free search on Beckett.com before applying.
    -A breakdown of your cards; how many? Try to include autographs, memorabilia, rookies, etc. Example: Auto-22, Gu-58, Rookies-33.
    -Scans upon request.

    These guidelines will help speed up the review process and help staff analyze your collection.

    If you are actively engaging in selling or trading your collection, then do not bother to apply. If you are already a HOFer and are getting rid of your collection, please contact the mod so you will be removed from the HOF.


    Player Super Collector


    OPTION #1
    : If you only collect a mix of rookies, game used, autographs, AND other high end cards of a player, you can apply for this option. This option focuses on quality and quantity. Minimum qualification is that you must have:

    - a minimum of 12% of their autographs made

    - a minimum of 18% of their game used.
    - a minimum of 75% of their true rookie cards

    The player must be in the league for a minimum of two complete seasons.

    Obviously, the smaller the number produced, the larger percentage you will likely need. This number does not include parallels, but staff will evaluate the number of rookie parallels you have. 1/1's, Lettermans, Tagmen/Logoman are also accepted. There are no requirement for these high end cards, but they greatly improve the quality of your collection.


    For example, Tim Duncan once had 1211 memorabilia cards (game used) and 99 autographs. To qualify for this option, you would have needed a minimum of 180 memorabilia and 10 autographs. Staff then evaluates the other cards you have and the quality of your collection.


    Your player must have 200 total cards produced of him to be eligible, as players with low production runs may be too easy to obtain. For previously entered members, they are grandfathered in.

    OPTION #2
    : For those who collect everything of a player. This includes base, inserts, parallels, numbered, memorabilia, autographs, and 1/1.

    Your player must have 200 total cards produced of him to be eligible, as players with low production runs may be too easy to obtain. For previously entered members, they are grandfathered in.

    The player must be in the league for a minimum of two complete seasons.

    200-299 - 75%

    300-399 - 70%
    400-499 - 65%
    500-699 - 60%
    700-799 - 55%
    800-899 - 50%
    900-999 - 45%
    1000-1499 - 40%
    1500-1999 - 35%
    2000-2499 - 30%
    2500+ - 25%

    Too Few Cards Produced Exception
    . If the player you collect has been in the league for at least five years but has received little hobby attention and has fewer than the 200 cards, but more than 50, you may apply, but your percentages will have to follow these guidelines: 95% for players with 51-100 cards; 90% for players with 101-199 cards.

    High-End Collector Exception
    . If you do not collect all cards of a certain player and maybe just collect autos or patches of a certain player, we will allow those with a Book Value of $15,000+ (with at least 100 Cards of that specific player minimum). 1/1's and no book value cards can act as $BV50, but no more. Provide info. While we do not see this as a true Super Collector by our definition, we realize everyone collects different things for different reasons.

    For example, T.J. Ford once had 1116 listed cards. You would need 40% of those cards to qualify as a Super Collector of T.J. Ford.



    Team Super Collector

    -NBA Team Collector: Must be in NBA team uniform or college uniform if it is the player's rookie year with that team. All-Star uniform and Team USA uniform cards are accepted if the player was with the NBA team at the time the card was made.
    -NCAA Alumni Collector: Cards can be in any uniform. Player only has to be an alumni of the NCAA team you collect.

    Option #1
    : For those who collect all types of cards.
    -Total of 2500 different cards. Includes base, inserts, numbered parallels/inserts, rookies, game used, and autographs.
    -Need at least 125 autograph & memorabilia cards.
    -Must have at least 10 players in your collection. If you have more than 10 players, then the below requirement of 20 cards per player does not apply to player #11 and so forth.
    -Minimum of 20 different cards per player.


    Option #2
    : For those who only collect autographs and memorabilia cards.
    -Total of 250 different memorabilia (game used) and autographs. Lettermans and Logoman/Tagmen also count.
    -Collection valued at $5000 or more.
    -Must have at least eight players in your collection. If you have more than eight players, then the below requirement of 10 cards per player does not apply to player #9 and so forth.
    -Minimum of 10 different cards per player.


    Set Super Collector

    No base only sets. We do not have any requirements, but we are looking for multiple completed mid end to high end sets. We will look at single sets valued in the thousands.

    Sets must be complete unless the card in the checklist was never manufactured. If the card was never made, be prepared to provide proof (e-mail from from card company rep., Beckett checklist note, etc.).

    For single sets, simply having an MJ and Kobe auto in the set to push the value over the $1,000 mark will not guarantee your selection. We will be looking for strictly high end or high graded vintage here.


    In addition HOF recognition you get a Super Mascot Badge!




    Please do not be discouraged if you do not meet a requirement or are denied. There are many great collections out there and you should be proud of yours. We are not looking down on anyone's collection. This prestigious status exists to recognize the best of the best in the basketball card hobby. Good luck to everyone!
