It's great being on vacation, I'm home when the mail arrives and I can share with other collectors on Forums such as this.

Yesterday I received my graded basketball ticket back from PSA. The ticket is from the 2/2/09 NY knicks vs LA Lakers game played at Madison Square Garden, in NYC. Kobe Bryant scored 61 pts that night, breaking the record for most pts ever scored by a player in a basketball game at the garden. I also find the ticket interesting because it was the Knicks' 24th home game printed on the ticket (K24), also Kobe's initial and jersey #. As we know the Lakers went on to become the NBA Champions.

My second piece was received 2 weeks ago. This is a Sports Illustrated BGS Uncirculated 6/22/09 magazine. Sports Illustrated and BGS worked together to issue a limited number of this regional issue with the "NBA Champions Kobe's Moment" cover. Enjoy........:thumb:
