Graded PSA 8.5 NM-MT+, certification number 102852348. 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\"\u003eCrusade is the long running insert brand Panini folds into Phoenix, built around the shield and heraldry design with a rainbow foil treatment that runs orange through green across the top. The signature is a clean blue autograph on the signature panel, guaranteed by Panini on the back. There is no serial number on this one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWally Szczerbiak was one of the best pure shooters of his era and one of the more memorable NCAA tournament performers of the nineties. He spent four years at Miami of Ohio and put up 43 points against Washington in the 1999 tournament to carry the RedHawks to the Sweet Sixteen, a game that moved him up draft boards in a hurry. Minnesota took him sixth overall that June.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eHis peak came in Minnesota. In 2001-02 he averaged 18.7 points and shot 45.5 percent from three, a mark almost nobody has approached on that kind of volume, and he made the All Star team that season alongside Kevin Garnett. He spent seven seasons with the Wolves before stops in Boston, Seattle and Cleveland, and moved into broadcasting after he retired. Early 2000s Timberwolves pieces travel with the Garnett era audience, which is a bigger group than the raw name recognition suggests.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eCondition: this one graded PSA 8.5 NM-MT+, which sits between an 8 and a 9. It is a strong presenting card that fell just short of the next grade, and the photos show the actual slab from both sides so you can judge the corners and centering for yourself. The autograph is clean and undisturbed. 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.
