Set: Panini Absolute (Rate)
Card: #99 Rajon Rondo
“ Two of my basketball cards in a week's time, cool! This set looks a LOT better in person, it's mirror foil which as any of you who have tried to scan it know, scans very poorly. The gold trim on the Celtics jersey identifies it as an alternate (normally what is gold on this card is white). The back scan is a little washed out, I should have done a better job on it. Every single one of the cards I posted, with the exception of the Nate Thurmond card, to this set came from retail packs from my local Target. The Thurmond card came as a No Purchase Necessary win from Panini. ” -Billy Kingsley
“ Rondo was drafted out of Kentucky in the 1st round (21st overall) by the Phoenix Suns during the 2006 NBA Draft. He was traded on draft day to the Boston Celtics where he still currently plays. Career Stats: 11.1 PPG, 4.6 RPG and 7.0 APG. He is a 4x All-Star, 4x All-Defensive Team (2x first-team and 2x second-team), 2x NBA Assists Leader, 1x NBA Steals Leader and a NBA Champion in 2008. ” -carthage44
“ That gold trim is abhorrent to me. The back is cool looking, but way to take a huge step backwards with just the Year/Life statistics! ” -revnorb
“ I went to TD Garden for the first time in March. Saw Rondo play, among others. My first NBA game away from Indianapolis. ” -switzr1
