2 cards closer to 2 complete Master Sets

The stars must have been aligned just right, because these rarely seen cards came out of the woodwork last week.

First up, a Daniel Sedin Topps Stars Blue parallel /99:

This leaves only 7 cards on my Want List for the 2000-01 Topps Stars set. LMK if you can help with these:
Blue Parallel Set (#/299)
19 Bourque
94 Vanbiesbrouck
Blue Parallel Set (#/99)
126 Brodeur
127 Bure
131 Hull
133 Joseph
139 Yzerman

Next up, a Brodeur Calder Cloth jersey. This a major kill for my 2002-03 Topps Heritage set and it is only the second copy I have seen in the past 5 years -- and I do daily eBay searches! :whatthehell: There is no stated print run, but I would guess the Brodeurs were SP'ed at approx. /10

This leaves only 2 cards on my Want List for 2002-03 Topps Heritage set, but I have seen neither of these cards -- EVER! :| LMK if you can help:
Great Skates Patch GSB-MHe Hejduk
Calder Cloth Patch CCB-MB Brodeur

BTW, my Master Sets in progress are available for viewing in My Gallery (in sig). Feel free to take a look.

Very impressive collections. Topps cards were always my favorite so it's nice to see some very impressive sets you have.

Very impressive I wish they still had topps in hockey

Congrats Bill! For those Heritage Patches, I'm guessing they weren't made. And that Topps Stars set... wow - that's dedication. Good luck finishing them off.

So your the guy that snagged that Brodeur card. Very Nice! Congrats

Thanks all for the comments.

I agree with others that it would be great to have Topps back in the game -- no pun intended I see the Heritage franchise continue in baseball and I'm left imagining all the great retro designs that can still be re-done in hockey. Oh well -- maybe some day in the not so far future....

As for the Brodeur, yeah I think there were a couple of player collectors battling it out in the bidding war. Count this as a victory for the Set Collectors.

Cool additions and GL tracking down the last few. Mike

I have seen the Hejduk great skate patch, only seen 1 or 2 of them and I dont think I have one. I should have added one when I could but never knew there was a patch version. Good luck with the rest of both sets!

I really like the design of the Topps Star parallel.
