After getting the cards I ordered in COMC.COM last February, I decided to make a run at it again.
The name of my blog is Project Sydrified and I wanted to know if I could score a good deal. Here is the LINK to the project I am talking about. Now updating the link's goal, I have purchased a couple of Kobe Bryant cards as well. I know I have to thread wisely with this since most of his cards are extremely expensive. I want to strengthen my Kobe collection but at the same time, I need to find a way to do away with my other cards.
I still think COMC.COM has better cards and even with the import tax, they are still considerably cheaper than most cards I see in Lazada, Shopee, and at Facebook Marketplace.
I collect 90s all-stars because I can't seem to like the current set of rookies. I mean yeah, I have a Ja Morant and a Lamelo Ball collection. With that said, Panini has been spamming variations to the point that the hobby is a mess for current card collectors. I can't collect Darius Bazley cards now because I can only see him as an investment - like most cards in the last five years. I am trying my best to dispatch the cards so I can also create a semblance of space in my room. I will still keep tabs on my Zion Williamson collection but I'll probably ditch a lot of my 2019-20 and 2020-21 rookie collection.
Anyway, here are the cards I expect to get in possibly August.

I will still buy a Nikola Vucevic card because he's my Fantasy MVP. With that said, I am going to decrease my Penny and Kevin Garnett hauls so I can increase my Tim Duncan and Allen Iverson collection.
