  1. very nice! I always loved the Bullion Brand Tags and the Base Variations.

    Now i just hope Sheed is in both of them,that would be sweet even if he already was in the Variations Set last year.

  2. That Blake metal card looks SLICK. I’ll be collecting those again… they were the best part of 12/13 Gold Standard!

  3. Is that Kevin Love what his actual card will look like? If so, that’s the same exact photo of Kevin Love you guys used for his Gold Standard base last year. Why use the same photo like that?

      1. Thanks …. I do a lot of group breaks and was hoping checklists can always come out a week before release since they are most likely already boxed and ready to go.
        If this happens, I can post a checklist by team and be able to properly sell breaks by team…
        Thanks again
