Tayshaun Prince, I've had three different combo auto cards with him, one with Dwight Howard (no longer have), one with Chauncey Billups (still have) and this one here at #41. I guess it was just a matter of time before Tayshaun would hook up with someone with enough star power to get him on my Top 100 countdown. Which of course leads to the main reason this card is here. LeBron James is the tag team partner on this autograph card. This is my only autographed card I have of James in my collection (I have a photo and ball as well) and though it's a sticker auto and the other player doesn't scream excitement (not that Tayshaun is a horrible player, he just doesn't really carry too much weight in the hobby) it's still an autograph of one of the best players in the league today. I've always like the simple nice design of Sign of the Times (though of course I perfer on-card autos) and this one doesn't disappoint. So yes it's official Tayshaun Prince is on a card that I consider in the top 50 of my collection...but I'm pretty sure LeBron's presence helped just a little!
That's #41? Very impressive! I can't wait to see the rest.
