Finally, finally, finally - I got a new Murad relic to show off. And it's a good one.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Mr. Bernard King
Again, I lucked out on this ebay item. The card is numbered 02/51. And it wasn't advertised as such. So getting a surprise short print is always a good thing.
Bernard King is really one of the more welcome additions to my collection. People tend to forget about King when some of the great players of the game are brought up. And let's not forget, King is one of the few players that gets to say that he was in the league in three different decades (1977-1993). And he averaged 22.5 points a game over his career. He was a gamer.
So here it is, finally back on track with some Murad to show off. And, unless things dramatically change, the summer should be full of polishing off the 09/10 Panini RC's and getting the Murad set built up. I check daily, but now that Batum is out of the public eye for the summer, his offerings have dried up. And that's typically what happens, nothing I can do about it. I would be shocked, absolutely shocked, if a Batum Bowman numbered less than 50 gets offered over the summer. So I can focus on Murad without much worry.

The King!!! Nice. I don't think many people release how awesome he really was. He had the Garden rockin before a devastating knee injury. He still managed to make an All-Star team after that injury tho with the Bullets.
IMOP, top 7 low post game in Association history.
Hoopography is right. Vastly underated and in his prime was a scoring machine. Might be even higher with his post up skills but also had a nice shot and could drive. Younger brother Albert was one of the first super hyped high schoolers. Bernard also had one of the wost acting attempts ever on Miami Vice. Cool card!!!
