Shaquille O'Neal 1995 Classic Five Sport Hot Box Autographs 655/655!

classic

This one has caught my fancy while casually browsing at auctions in eBay.

The reason? This card is hand numbered to 655/655!

Yes, the last card in the set. 

And it is seldom you find cards numbered to 1, the last number and the jersey number of the player featured in a type of card with a numbering as high as this.

Presented with the opportunity, I immediately presented my bid and fortunately, I won it.

After almost a month of waiting, it finally arrived as part of my September 15 mail day.

Shaq has written his full autograph here. This is what I like on his early autographed cards.

This is the back of the card with the hand numbered 655/655. Cards produced today are usually machine numbered.

Thanks to munkee-diddy of eBay for this beautiful card.

This is actually my first Shaq last numbered card, autographed or not.

Mail Day: Shaq Last Numbered Auto, Roy Epic Signature, etc.

I got three packages waiting for me at home today.

One came from eBay and the two from online trading sites: sportscardforum and ozcardtrader.

Check out my September 15, 2010 mailday.

I got the Brandon Roy 2008-09 Epic Signatures Auto in a trade with stoner of ozcardtrader.

The two Shaquille O'Neal jersey cards: 01-02 Topps All-Star Remnants and 02-03 Topps Finest and the Kobe Bryant 07-08 Topps Chrome Refractor were traded to me by basketball fiend of sportscardforum.

The centerpiece of this mailday would be the Shaq auto which is hand numbered 655/655!
