2002-03 UD Vintage?

[56Parkies]

I'm trying to track down the two Osgood Tall Boy cards from 2002-03 UD Vintage (regular & gold). What boxes did these come in..? Were they inserts in the regular UD Vintage boxes or did they have their own product? I've seen a few boxes on eBay, but the descriptions don't mention the Tall Boy cards at all..?

Anyone have any idea?

Cheers,

Mike

they came in the vintage box, I bought one back in 02 and got a roenick tall boy. Not a bad product overall

So this was like a box-topper then? I can't imagine it would come in a pack, seeing as they were obviously larger than the regular cards!

I'm pretty sure it was in a pack, but in the box so yes it was a box topper.

Awesome.. thanks for letting me know! At one a box, I don't know that I'll start busting boxes to try and get the Osgood card.. lol

well i remember seing those box for sale for only 25 $ cdn at a show, not a bad price, but your right does not make much sens for you to buy them, good luck finding your card

They did in fact comein topper packs. I believe there was 2 in each. One thing to watch out for though is that they were only in hobby boxes, not retail.

Thanks for the expertise, guys! Considering I ONLY need the Tall Boys (regular AND gold) from 02/03 Vintage for my Osgood collection, I guess I'll keep watching and see what pops up on the boards or eBay for now.. my luck ain't THAT good.. Then again, might make some good trade bait too, so ya never know!

Cheers,

The guys are correct. The Tall Boys came in a separate cellophane wrapper in hobby boxes; each pack I opened featured one regular and one gold/99.
Unfortunately, I didn't get an Osgood for you (I have a Shanahan and Nabokov in the regulars and a Heatley and Klesla in the golds).

I agree, it was a great product. All 3 years of the Upper Decks Vintage and the Topps Heritage were great products, on old-style cardboard stock and vintage designs.

Thanks for the info, Michael.. nice to know that each box game with a gold card, so maybe the Osgoods are still out there waiting to be broken..? A guy can dream.. lol

I definitely agree that Vintage/Heritage was a great idea.. Definitely connects the history of hockey for those of us who are interested in the older cards too..

They were indeed box-toppers and the golds were pretty rare. I opened a case or so a few months back and the Golds #/99 fell in about ever 3rd or 4th box. I think I actually pulled an Osgood Gold, but unfortunately I already sold all of them. GL tracking them down, they are really cool inserts. Mike

Ahh, very cool.. makes sense that EVERY box wouldn't have a regular AND a gold/99 or else the regulars would have to be out of 99 too, wouldn't they..?

Too bad I didn't come here sooner! Mighta been able to convince you to sell the gold Osgood to me first! Any chance the guy you sold it to may be willing to part with it, or did it go out on the 'Bay? Worth a shot anyway.. lol

Cheers, and thanks for the expertise!

Mike, I sold it through my eBay store and it's probably gone forever..... You get first crack at any nice Ozzy's from here on though. Mike
