About the Collection
Collected personally.
Shared openly.
VAULT XVI is a personal basketball card collection built around players I enjoy watching, young talent I want to follow, and cards whose design or story makes them worth keeping.
A Personal Collection
VAULT XVI is built around players I enjoy watching, young talent I want to follow, and cards whose photography, design, or story makes them worth keeping. It is a place to share the collection and document what makes each card interesting — not to present every card as rare or treat the collection like a storefront.
What I Look For
The collection mixes established favorites with younger players I am excited to follow. Eye appeal comes first. Rookie cards, autographs, patches, numbered parallels, and graded cards can all add something, but the player and the card's story are what give them a place here.
Reference Values
Values shown on this site are collector-maintained references for the collection. They are not market prices, live estimates, actual transaction prices, or promises that a card will sell for that amount.
Offers & Availability
Unless a card is clearly marked Not for Sale or listed at a Fixed Price, thoughtful offers are welcome. A Reference Value reflects how I currently value the card within my collection; it is not a requirement that every offer match it. I encourage anyone interested to review recent comparable sales and decide what the card is worth to them. Trade availability is shown separately when applicable.
Direct Arrangements
Every listed card is shown with actual front and back photographs, and certification details are published whenever available. NYC in-person meetups are preferred so both sides can inspect the cards and complete the exchange directly. If shipping is requested, the details are discussed privately case by case before either side proceeds.
What You Can Expect
Clear from the start.
- Actual front and back photographs are used for every listed card.
- Certification details are provided whenever available.
- Additional images and video are available upon request.
- Reference Values are subjective, not market prices or guaranteed transaction prices.
- Recent comparable sales are worth researching before making an offer.
- The website records offers and messages; it does not process payment or provide escrow, shipping, or buyer/seller protection.
- NYC meetups are preferred; any shipping arrangement is discussed directly case by case.
