Shawn Kemp 94 Skybox Team USA

I’ve NEVER seen this card for sale, in 17 years, until now! The end price is stunning.
UPDATE: The price was a BIN price, so if it went auction it may have even sold for more, considering that two of the 96 UD3 Commemorative Autographs recently sold for over $500 and $450.

Deadline Deals and Gems

Man, the deadline was crazy! I can’t even describe how surprised I am that some of those deals went down! I definitely think that OKC did well. I’m confused why Boston gave up Kendrink Perkins. SMH.
Good luck to Deron Williams in New Jersey and good luck to New Jersey keeping him around for a few years. Carmelo to New York? Who knew?

In other news, a bunch of 97 Metal Universe Precious Metal Reds ended on February 23rd. It was mostly semi-stars, but was highlighted by a few Steve Nashes, Karl Malone, Toni Kukoc, John Starks and Tim Hardaway. The semistars ended all around $30-$50, with the bigger names ending at $100+, with Malone getting the most at $350. See comprehensive sales information here.

I was able to get some previous sales information on some of the bigger names (Pippen, Rodman, Penny, Kobe, etc..) in the PMG set, and I’ve added them to the aforementioned 97 PMG sales list. Here is this chinese website that I was able to get the information from. Unfortunately, they do not list any ebay auction numbers, but I’m pretty sure their information is legit.

There were also a handful of Precious Metal Greens that ended recently too, but I haven’t cataloged them yet.

HOT: Amar’e Stoudemire Knicks autographs

UPDATE, February 25: Someone got a tremendous deal on the last Rookies & Stars, which sold for a mere $38. There is one currently at $36 with still two days left.
UPDATE, January 17: Another one is up on eBay.
UPDATE, January 14: As the season has rolled along and Paini puts more product out, Amare still only has a total of 55 knicks jersey autographs so far. Those 55 cards are pretty hot, seen by the rising prices for these cards. There is currently ONE Panini R&S Sharpshooters on eBay right now, and it is already at $70. As seen below, the only other one that I tracked ended at $24 in early December. I think this card is going to end around $100 or more. It ends in about 12 hours.

…Amar’e Stoudemire as MVP? Could it be possible? The Knicks have been on a tear; winning 12 of 13 games, including 7 in a row. He’s putting up over 34 ppg in that span and the Knicks are in the playoff hunt. They’re scoring 107.7 ppg as a team, good for second best in the league. He’s obviously the focal point on offense. If he puts up over 25 ppg and the Knicks are in the upper echelon of Eastern playoff teams come April, he may deserve to be looked at as a league MVP. For the season, he’s doing 26 / 9 / 2 blocks. Not bad.

There’s a discussion on OzCardTrader about his MVP chances.

Michael Jordan 97 SPx Force Redemption AUTO

UPDATE: it looks like this card was re-listed.

This is different.
An expired redemption card of Michael Jordan sold for some nice coin recently. I’ve never tracked this before, so I thought I’d share, cause I’m pretty sure not too many people have seen this either.
