#SunsUP

This year Topps introduced the Living Set for the NBA, an ongoing card set that pays homage to the 1957-58 design with artwork, not photography. During the NBA season, Topps drop a new player in the set every week. The set features past and present stars in the league, and the inaugural release - card #1 was LeBron James.

Sometime later, card #21 of Devin Booker was available for a limited time this past March. The card features artwork that highlights one of purest jumpshots the game has ever seen and our newest city jersey. Had to have it!

Orders can be made in singles or by 5x, 10x, 20x “packs” with randomly inserted short print parallels. Essentially the more you buy, the greater odds. Here are chases:
• Background Variation Short Print
• Topps Chrome® Refractor Parallel
• Topps Chrome® Superfractor 1/1

I purchased ~ 100 cards in hopes to pull the 1/1 but I ended up with 2x Background Variation Short Prints. One of which I sold and nearly covered the cost of the order!

Though I missed my chance, I scoured the internet for the card hoping whoever landed it would be willing to let it go. And in May (two months after the release), I found it and secured my grail!

🔥 Anybody else order this set? Go Suns! 💜🧡

The season is getting closer, which means it’s time to reassess what we think we know about the Suns. Rotation questions? Breakout candidates? Expectations? Concerns?

The Suns' Sickos mailbag is open. Drop your questions below for our show on Wednesday night.

*edit-ugh. 2 bigs. Not bugs

Like if they ball out to the point of contender trajectory, what is that? Who is stepping up big, and how? What are the lineups?

I'd love to see this whiplash where the team leans big. But it only works if there's shooting.

I'd love a world where the following lineup is our best lineup because the requisite players took steps up.

Gillespie (24) book (36) brooks (30) Fleming (20) maluach (25)

Goodwin (14) green (28) bridges (28) Oso (20) williams (15)

In this world-

-Fleming is an excellent 3 and D player

-oso is a viable ft shooter

-maluach is the unicorn we were hoping for

-Gillespie levels up towards a poor man's nash

-book ups his 3 and defense

-Brooks has a viable passing rate

-williams stays healthy enough to be aggressive and active

-bridges and green are either both higher efficiency or can be flipped for a higher efficiency attacking perimeter player

-Goodwin just needs to be more of the same

To me, THAT team could compete for a title. Which means I'm hoping that 'player development coach' ott tries to move the team in this direction.

Bought this on eBay for 32 usd all-in and love the card. It’s a sticker auto and /99. Im a big Suns fan and just waiting for Khaman Maluach and Rasheer to break out. Go Suns.

Any thoughts?

Especially after getting Miles Bridges from Charlotte and also if Mark Williams stays healthy at center; then their starting 5 of Booker, Green, Brooks, Bridges and Williams actually looks solid

The NBA Season is close and yours truly is extremely excited.
and my league pass fans, I have cut my schedule this year. But you will see and hear me on 45 plus Suns games ( mostly home) and more
Today Shows! Also, stay tuned for my new PODCAST! 📚 🙂

What a bummer. hoping someone new rather than Ann

So I found this shirt in 2018 here in Portland. I’ve looked it up and have only found one being sold online which makes me think it’s the shirt I have purchased. Any one else ever seen this one before?

I’m an out of town fan who will be in the Phoenix area (mesa/gilbert) for a few days next week. I was thinking of stopping by the team shop but are there better places to go for Suns gear? Any recos would be appreciated. Also I wouldn’t be upset if a few Mexican food recos snuck in here too :)

Suns for life! Anyone into card collecting here?

Back in 2022 I had a special opportunity to have these custom cards signed through someone with a business relation to Book!

Book stopped signing for trading card companies since 2017 therefore not included in the popular/coveted autographed sets. I designed the sneaker spotlight designs and commissioned a couple people on Instagram to bring them to life. My connection was able to meet him at his house to have them signed and the autographs look perfect! I’ve had magazines and other items signed by Booker after warmups at away games but they don’t turn out as clean as when he has time and is seated down.

All cards are now autograph authenticated, encapsulated, and some of my favorite pieces in my Suns collection!

Which is your favorite?

💙 2018-19 Flawless Logoman Auto (All Star Game)
🧡 2019-20 Noir Sneaker Spotlight (Kobe 1 Protro Booker PE from 3pt contest)
💜 2020-21 Noir Sneaker Spotlight (Kobe 4 Protro Booker PE from 47pt closeout Game 6 vs Lakers)

PayPal might be on its way out 👀 It’s not in 2K, and the Summer League jerseys didn’t have the patch either. Looks like the Suns could be getting a new jersey sponsor.

Eddie and Alicia have a whole chat about the NBA, Eddie's career and more, very cool to see!

With Shaedon Sharpe out for over half the season now, this seems like a free money glitch to me.
