1998-99 SPx FINITE VINCE CARTER /2500 PSA 10 GEM MINT NEW LABEL HIS BEST TRUE RC

Description: CARTER'S MOST SHORT PRINTED & BEST TRUE ROOKIE CARD IN PSA 10 GEM MINT, IT'S ALSO THE ONLY PSA 10 GEM MINT WITH NEW PSA LABEL I SEEN. EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT BOTH SP AUTHENTIC AND SPx ARE VC'S TWO BEST TRUE ROOKIE CARDS, NONE OF OTHERS CLOSE TO THESE TWO - FIRST EVER SERIAL NUMBERED TRUE RC IN THE HOBBY. SP AUTHENTIC /3500 IS CONSIDERED AS VC'S TOP RC BECAUSE THERE'S NO DRAMATIC DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SP AUTHENTIC /3500 AND SPx FINITE /2500 IN TERMS OF RARITY, THEN 1998-99 SP AUTHENTIC JUST OFFERED MORE THAN SPx FINITE, LIKE JORDAN AND IVERSON'S SOTT GOLD AUTOS, CARTER'S SOTT SILVER ROOKIE AUTO, ETC. THUS 1998-99 SP AUTHENTIC WAS MORE POPULAR OVERALL THAN 1998-99 SPx FINITE. ALSO SPx FINITE RC WAS TOO CONDITION SENSITIVE WITH PARTIAL BLACK BORDERS IN CONTRAST WITH SP AUTHENTIC RC WITH ALL WHITE EDGES, IT HAD TYPICAL CHIPPING ISSUES, ESPECIALLY ON THE BACK. SPx FINITE WAS EVEN MUCH TOUGHER TO FIND THAN SP AUTHENTIC IN NICE CONDITION, SO SP AUTHENTIC WAS CONSIDERED AS VC'S BEST RC WHEN IT'S LOW GRADED OR UNGRADED AS PEOPLE PREFERRED CARTER'S CLEAN SP AUTHENTIC RC OVER SPx FINITE WITH BAD CHIPPINGS. IN OTHER WORDS WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT HIGH GRADED OR NICE CONDITION FORGET ABOUT SP AUTHENTIC, AS SPx FINITE WAS MUCH RARER AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE, SPx FINITE IN HIGH GRADED WAS ACTUALLY CONSIDERED AS HIS TRUE BEST RC, AND STILL IS. IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT JUST THROW ME VC'S SPx FINITE RC /2500 BGS 9.5 AND I'LL GLADLY GIVE YOU HIS SP AUTHENTIC RC /3500 BGS 9.5 THAT I HAVE ANY DAY OF THE WEEK. PEOPLE WHO SAY SP AUTHENTIC IS BETTER THAN SPx BECAUSE SP AUTHENTIC IS JUST A BETTER BRAND, THAT'S NOT TRUE. THIS IS WHEN UPPER DECK REALLY STARTED TO PUSH ON SPx MORE THAN SP AUTHENTIC, ESPECIALLY FOR ROOKIE CARDS, WITH THEM PUTTING JORDAN AND DUNCAN'S GRAND FINALE /50 IN 1997-98 SPx WHILE JUST PUTTING PROFILES III /100 IN 1997-98 SP AUTHENTIC, PUTTING VC'S MOST SHORT PRINTED RC /2500 AND BEST ROOKIE CARD IN SPECTRUM /25 IN THIS YEAR'S SPx, FRANCIS' FIRST EVER AUTOGRAPHED TRUE RC IN 1999-00 SPx, DARIUS MILES' FIRST EVER AUTOGRAPHED JERSEY TRUE RC IN 2000-01 SPx - ALTHOUGH THEY RELEASED ULTIMATE COLLECTION LATER THAT YEAR. TOPPS WAS ALWAYS CONSIDERED AS THE MECCA OF ROOKIE CARDS BEFORE THEN WITH FINEST AND CHROME RC, PLUS THEIR REFRACTORS, THIS IS EXACTLY THE YEAR UPPER DECK TOTALLY DETHRONED THEM WITH OFFERING SP AUTHENTIC AND SPx FINITE SERIAL NUMBERED RC, PLUS ITS SPECTRUM. SINCE THEN UPPER DECK NEVER ALLOWED TO BE DETHRONED. BOTH ARE VC'S TWO BEST TRUE ROOKIE CARDS, WHEN IT'S LOW GRADED OR UNGRADED SP AUTHENTIC IS BETTER, WHEN IT'S HIGH GRADED SPx FINITE IS BETTER, SIMPLE AS THAT. AS I SAID BETWEEN /2500 & /3500 THERE'S NO HUGE DIFFERENCE, BUT WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT GEM MINT COPIES CURRENTLY SPx FINITE PSA 10 IS ABOUT 8.5X RARER THAN SP AUTHENTIC PSA 10, SPx FINITE PSA 9 IS ALMOST 10X RARER THAN SP AUTHENTIC PSA 9, WHILE THERE'S MORE THAN DOUBLE SPx FINITE PSA 8 EXIST THAN SP AUTHENTIC PSA 8, THINK ABOUT THAT. YOU CAN BUY SP AUTHENTIC RC /3500 PSA 10 FROM HERE AND THERE, EVERYDAY EVERYTIME, BUT THIS ONE IS EXACTLY OPPOSITE. THEN THIS IS THE ONLY OFFERED PSA 10 GEM MINT COPY WITH NEW PSA LABEL, THE CARD LOOKS REALLY CLEAN AND FLAWLESS, IT'S UNBELIEVABLE. THE PICTURE IS ALSO VERY CLASSIC FROM HIS DRAFT DAY, EVERYONE CAN SEE IN A SECOND THAT THIS IS HIS ROOKIE CARD. THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF GREAT AND AMAZING PLAYERS AFTER JORDAN RETIRED BUT STILL NEVER SEEN ANY PLAYER WHO HAD BIGGER IMPACT THAN CARTER HAD AROUND 2000. NOT EVEN FROM KOBE, NOT EVEN FROM LEBRON. THERE WAS STILL GREAT PLAYERS LIKE SHAQ IN HIS PRIME, KOBE, DUNCAN AND IVERSON BUT CARTER STOOD ATOP IN HOBBY STATUS, THERE WAS REALLY NO PLAYER YOU COULD CALL HE'S A RIVAL OF CARTER. HOW HOT WAS VC? IT WAS LIKE EVERY CARTER'S CARD WAS IN BECKETT'S HOT LIST, GOING UP EVERY MONTH. THUS ONCE I SERIOUSLY CONSIDERED TRADING MY 1996-97 CHROME REFRACTOR KOBE FOR 1998-99 SP AUTHENTIC CARTER RC /3500, I MEAN NOT KOBE'S CHROME RC BUT HIS CHROME ROOKIE REFRACTOR, ONE-ON-ONE TRADE, THEN MY TRADE OFFER GOT REJECTED. CARTER'S SPx FINITE RC PSA 10 WAS TOO MUCH AT THE TIME, TOO RARE TO FIND, I NEVER HAD A CHANCE TO OBTAIN IT. WHO THOUGHT CARTER WOULD PLAY MORE GAMES THAN JOHN STOCKTON. THE BIGGEST IMPACT WITH UNBELIEVABLE LONGEVITY, THAT'S A PRETTY GOOD COMBO WHICH PEOPLE WOULD APPRECIATE IT AS TIME GOES ON, ESPECIALLY WHEN HE ENTERS HALL OF FAME.
