2006-07 Exquisite Scripted Swatches Auto Patch Tracy McGrady /25

Weeks ago, Tracy McGrady announced his retirement of the NBA. He left a big impact, with a fantastic Slam Dunk contest with Vince Carter, many All-Star selections and two times maximum scorer of the season, although never had luck in the Playoffs. Last season he joined the San Antonio Spurs to win the title, but they fell vs the Miami Heat in the NBA Finals.

The featured image is a McGrady card from Exquisite collection with an autograph and a patch of his time in the Orlando Magic, with the particularity that the auto is done in the memorabilia. Is not very usual, because often the players sign on the cardboard, or the cards have a place reserved to the sign, so makes it more special.

2012-13 National Treasures NBA Logoman Auto Kobe Bryant /5

Fantastic card of Kobe Bryant, with a great combination: It has an awesome logoman of a game-used jersey and an autograph. Although it is limited to /5 (we only find one logoman in every jersey) it have a very clean design and in the picture you can see the first made, the number one.

As is expected, it raises a big money. Three of five have been sold and all have been around the $10,000. No doubt is a piece of history.

2012-13 National Treasures RC Auto Patch Anthony Davis /199

This is a card from the first pick of the 2012 NBA Draft, Anthony Davis. It shows a big patch, characteristic of the National Treasure collection, but in this case is very special as we can see a part of the alternative team logo, located in the back of the jersey, above the name. Is unusual to see so clearly this jersey patch, but will still be more rare because we won't see more hornets in the New Orleans jerseys.

Weeks ago the NBA confirmed that next season the New Orleans Hornets will change their name "Hornets" to "Pelicans", regarding Louisiana's state bird. This means that no more hornets would appear in New Orleans jerseys, perhaps yes in a Charlotte jersey, as Michael Jordan wants to recover the Charlotte Hornets.

2012-13 National Treasures NBA Logoman Combos Karl Malone John Stockton /2

This month, Panini released a very expected collection, the National Treasures, with plenty of high-end cards. Most of us we only can see them, but also only seeing, they are awesome.

Many memorabilia autograph of superstars and rookies, limited, and great patches. We want to start these great NBA cards with this fantastic dual logoman of probably the best two players in Utah Jazz history.

Karl Malone, the second maximum scorer of history, and John Stockton, the maximum assistant of history, share this fantastic card with an NBA logo of one of his game-worn jerseys. Both have the record of more games played by two players in the same team (1412), plus many all-star selections, two Olympic Medals and two MVP for Malone. Although, they couldn't win an NBA title as they lost with the Chicago Bulls of Michael Jordan the two Finals they arrived.

2012-13 Preferred Laundry Tags Booklet 1/1

Today we present a couple of special cards. All are booklets limited to 1/1. The particularity is that are composed by the jersey tags. These tags are located in right bottom of every NBA jersey and indicate the size, NBA logo (that is usually used for logoman cards), the manufacturer logo (in this case Adidas) and some other specifications.

It is very especial because there are only one in every jersey, and in booklets we can see until 8 NBA players.

We can't focus in one laundry tag booklet because all are different and everyone has his particularities. For this reason, we show some of them.

2004-05 SP Signature Edition Triple Authentic Signatures Auto Michael Jordan Kobe Bryant LeBron James /25

The SP Signature Edition always bring us interesting signed cards especially with more than one player. There are cards with two, four or six autographs from NBA player, such superstars of all time.

I named this card "The three decades card" because we can see the signature of probably the best players of every recent decade. Michael Jordan as the 90's with 6 NBA titles, 6 NBA finals MVP or 4 MVP; Kobe Bryant as the 00's with 5 NBA titles, 2 NBA finals MVP or 1 MVP; and LeBron James as the best of 10's at the moment, with 2 NBA titles, 2 NBA finals MVP and 3 MVP.

Also, the signatures are highlighted by a gold background, and the card is limited to only /25.

This awesome card recently sold for $2,850.

2007-08 Exquisite Limited Logos All-Star Auto Patch Kobe Bryant /50

This fantastic card has a patch from an All-Star jersey used by Kobe Bryant. Based on this collection was released July 2008 and the patch design, we conclude the jersey comes from All-Star 2008 played in New Orleans. Remember, in that game Kobe only played less than three minutes due to an injury revealed days before.
Also we can see a Kobe autograph and it's limited to only 50.
Although is limited to /50, we don't know how many of this 50 have the All-Star patch. As you can see in the following image, there is the same card with tjhe same reference but with a patch from a Lakers jersey.
This card recently sold for an incredible price of $7,057.
