I thought that the
Kevin Durant auto that was redeemed a few weeks ago would be a keeper card. But, then the opportunity to acquire one of my dream autographed cards came up, and I had to make the trade to get it. I mean Durant is a superstar currently, but he's not a name that comes up when it comes to the greatest of all time. Unlike this legend:
Do I care that this is a stickergraph? Nope. So was the Durant.
Do I care that he's a coach and not a player? Nope. He earned a couple of his 11 rings in Boston as a player/coach, so that's not a factor either.
It is a perfect addition to my Celtics autograph collection, and I love it. It joins Bird, Parish and McHale as those checked off my dream wantlist, and it leaves only Paul Pierce to wrap things up.
Let's see - Durant or Russell?
ReplyDeleteI think you did just fine giving up the Durant. Sticker or not, I would go with Russell without thinking.
That is a beauty!
ReplyDeleteDurant or Russell... hard to go wrong with either guy. But going with the basketball legend was definitely the safest route. Great trade.
ReplyDeleteThat was a huge upgrade. Russell will always be a legend. Jury is still out on Durant.
ReplyDeleteWho trades an autograph of the greatest basketball player of all time, for Kevin Durant?
ReplyDeleteThat was my thought exactly. That's one heck of a trade right there. Nicely done.
DeleteI have a Paul Pierce auto. Will send it your way next month.
ReplyDeletecongrats!
