Random Card of the Day

Year: 2009-10

Set: Panini Prestige (Rate)

Card: #255 Sundiata Gaines


“ I do not remember this guy, but this is a good looking set. I cannot get on the Panini Hate bandwagon. I love most of their stuff. ” -switzr1

“ An NBA player I actually had to look up, because I know nothing about him. He played his entire NBA career during the time I was taking a break from the sport, what I now consider one of it not the biggest mistakes of my life. According to Wikipedia he played as recently as last season in the D-League after years internationally. Cool color scheme on the jersey. Green is my favorite color and yellow is my second favorite. ” -Billy Kingsley

“ I gotta ask: What are the crowd looking at, if not the guy with the ball? ” -revnorb

“ Pretty cool graphics except for the giant Rookie patch. I like the smaller RC or move it to another location. The uniforms are god awful. Dont take my Sonic's colors. ” -parsley24

“ Never heard of him. ” -carthage44

“ I'm getting used to the fronts for Prestige, and for the most part they are OK even though this one doesn't have the team logo, but there is the team name and the player's name is bigger than everything except the dang "Rookie" box up top. Back is stereotypical Panini one year of stats back. ” -captkirk42

“ I havent watched an NBA game in decades. So could someone tell me when did the Jazz steal the Supersonics uniforms? ” -NJDevils

“ Been better with the front being some sort of basketball floor or rim shot instead of the fans. ” -KMack

“ As much as Panini can get on my nerves, I have to admit, I like the Prestige sets. The backs are always a less than desireable, that is a Panini trademark, but the fronts always have clean looking photos and the cards are overall pretty good. I never heard of this guy and at first I thought it was an older Sonics card. ” -muskie027

“ I'm not familiar with this set, nor this player. He doesn't look too stressed out, and the entire crowd (and maybe Mr. Gaines, as well) are paying attention to something else. Maybe this photo is from a pre-game shoot-around and someone I am familiar with is doing something noteworthy elsewhere on the court. ” -kents_stuff

“ Beautiful card, but the team name and position are in too small a font. ” -Sportzcommish

“ The Jazz in green? I only remember them in purple, mind you I only followed the NBA for a while when the Jazz had Karl Malone and John Stockton. ” -rmitchell6700

For those confused/unsure (and someone correct me if I'm wrong), the Jazz are only in green/yellow for throwback/alternate uniforms. Originally wearing green from 1981-1984 on the road, green jerseys were brought back as an alternate third jersey in 2011.

I'll never quit collecting entirely, but I am downsizing. Check out my COMC store and help me thin out what I don't want so I can buy cards that I do want. See something you like? Send me a message on here, and we can knock the price down quite a bit. I'll even take a bit of a loss if it means getting you a card you really want.

No correction needed Jason, you are right. They had a different alternate green as recently as last year but it appears that they do not have a green alternate for this season...however one of the Alternates is going to change every year now so who knows what the future holds?

VERY slow trading due to health problems. Not transferrable so safe to trade with, just moving is painful and can't always access the cards.

Pacers have at least five different uniforms this year. I'm just glad they don't do the pajamas like the Cavs and a few others wear.  I hate those.


-------------------------------

I'm going to reevaluate how I collect after the new year. It's just getting way too expensive for the new stuff.  Sometimes I just want to buy a pack, not a whole box or even blaster.

I remember when he got called up from the D-League and hit a game winner in his first couple of weeks with the Jazz. Have not really heard of him since. Not sure I have any of his cards.
