Card: 2009-10 Panini Rookes and Stars Studio Rookies Dual Autograph with Tyler Hansbrough (click here for larger image)

Notes:

  • Card is #10 and is serial numbered to 50
  • Features sticker autographs from Griffin and Hansbrough
  • In 2009, these two of the top big men to get in the Draft, as Griffin went 1st to the Clippers and Hansbrough was chosen by the Indiana Pacers with the 13th pick
  • There are several parallel versions of this card, including one with jersey pieces, patch pieces, and one without any gimmick
  • Hansbrough has gone on to have a career as a solid big man for the Pacers, playing especially well in the first round of the 2011 NBA Playoffs against the Chicago Bulls

Blake Griffin might just be the next big thing in the NBA.  His highlight reel dunks have reached legendary status and as a result, any piece of cardboard featuring the Blake Show has risen in value exponentially.  As the Los Angeles Trading Card Examiner, I feel it is my civic duty to let you know about these cards, which are growing in number by the day.  Check back tomorrow for another Blake Griffin card to collect and also check out the Kobe Bryant Card of the Day thread for that other Los Angeles basketball superstar.  But if you really want to go for the G.O.A.T., we also have the Michael Jordan Card of the Day if you're up for it.  And for something a little different, we also have the Card Gallery of the Day, and that is out of control sometimes.

Juan can remember a trading card gone by the same way wine connoisseurs can recall an exquisite vintage; it's all in the smell. Either that or he just looks at the back of the card for the copyright print. Juan also moonlights as the Classic Game Examiner and be sure to check out his Twitter...
