bballkm32 - Karl Malone

[hender42]

Happy New Year!

I have been dormant for a long time on internet trading sites, but it seems I have come back looking for you! After nearly 30 years of collecting, I have decided that it's time to give it up and have begun the process of getting rid of my collections. There is no doubt that you are the true Karl Malone Super Collector! We have crossed paths many many times. I can say with only a little bit of certainty that I have the second largest Karl Malone collection. I looked through your wantlist and I have several Malone cards from it. I would like to work with you to see if you are interested in buying those cards that you need before I begin turning this collection loose to others.

I honestly do not know how this site works, but I am going to start researching how to give myself a little credibility here. I assure you that I would want you above anybody else to own the pieces of my Malone collection that fill gaps in yours.

Best,
Ian (you may know me as Keoki and/or npvball18)

Impressions for the year before the latest pickups. I was finding it increasing harder to find memorabilia cards this year that were not outrageously priced. Even just getting some cards in general were harder. I don't know if this is because of the rise in prices for the boxes, Panini running out of available memorabilia, short print runs or whatever. It may also be that I was finding a little more enjoyment in some of my side PCs where the players have less than 100 cards and I was able to find some really low print cards there. Regardless, I am still really happy with my pickups for this year and will be setting new collecting goals for 2018 based on what I was finding this year.

Those are some great looking cards! I collect the Utah Jazz so will admit I'm jealous of some things you have there.

@ Fido

If you have any Malone duplicates or something that I might need, I am always interested. I have a box full of doubles of Malone and other Jazz players if we need to work out a deal in the future.
