Have a look at this sweet trading card of former Spurs center Tiago Splitter that I bought off the Internet a year or two ago, I can’t quite remember. It may not command much in today’s market but, with the Silver and Black 15 deep into a losing skid, it’s a little easier on the eyes than defensive field-goal percentages.
That ink? Scribbled by the NBA champ himself. Serial printed to just 75? That’s right. And the black patch? A piece of a jersey he wore in an actual, real-life game, or at least they say below.
