Graded PSA 10 GEM MT, certification number 102562220. The card you see in the photos is the exact card you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHieroglyphs is one of the harder patterns to pull in the Phoenix rainbow and easily one of the best looking, with the mosaic of gold, green and violet cells shifting as the card moves. It is not serial numbered and Panini has never announced a print run for the unnumbered Phoenix parallels, so treat it as scarce rather than counted. The green and gold pattern happens to line up with the Sonics colors better than any other card in the set.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eGary Payton is the defining player of Seattle basketball. Drafted second overall out of Oregon State in 1990, he spent thirteen seasons with the Sonics and turned the point guard position into something adversarial. He is the only point guard in NBA history to win Defensive Player of the Year, taking it in 1996, and he made nine consecutive All-Defensive First Teams, a run nobody at his position has matched.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHe was also a nine time All Star who carried Seattle to the 1996 Finals against the 72 win Bulls, where he drew the Jordan assignment and made the series considerably less comfortable than Chicago expected. He won Olympic gold in 1996 and 2000, finally got his ring with Miami in 2006, went into the Hall of Fame in 2013, and had his number 20 retired by the franchise. With Seattle in line to have a team again, Sonics cards have quietly become one of the steadier corners of the vintage era market.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCondition: PSA 10 GEM MT with no qualifier on the label. The pattern is bright and the card presents sharp with clean edges. The photos show the actual slab from both sides. The holder is straight from PSA, unopened and unaltered, with no cracks. Please look the pictures over closely, since they are part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eShipping and handling: same business day shipping on orders placed before 6:00 AM EST.
