Marreese Masterpiece Monday Mailday

My Marreese Speights collection got a real kick in the teeth today. Check it out:

Also got this for my Dunleavy collection. It's not really a mind-blowing card, but I feel like I got a good deal on it by being patient. Two online stores have it for $22.50 and $29.75, and I've been waiting for a better price for a while now. I finally got it for $3.95 dlvd.

I didn't know you started to collect Speights. Anyways, congrats on the nice pickups! I hate when online card stores ask for 10x the amount a card is actually worth. It makes it difficult for us player collectors! ;)

Congrats, Mike! I've never seen a Topps Platinum card before. Nice!

Who is Marreese Speights? Anyway, they are great cards.

Nice cards!

Appreciate it, everybody.

the_future: Yeah, I hate that too. Burbank Sportscards is especially bad about that, they charge 125-150% of BV for EVERYTHING.

LakersMC: One thing I noticed is that this year's Topps Platinum don't have the little triangle stickers that Topps usually puts on their 1/1s. It's not just on mine, I've seen other people's too.

molly1984: Yes, I did get it on eBay.

steve.longman: Speights is a guy who played for the Florida Gators in college and was drafted 16th by the 76ers in the 2008 NBA draft.

Grats on the pickups. I'm still seeking the D.J. Augustin photoshoot but I'm waiting for prices to fall. How many Speights are you up to now?

P.S. Nice thread title.
