Hey folks,

Another month has come and gone, and here are my newest additions.

For various sets

00/01 Titanium Game Gear (2 colour) Jarome Iginla Red/Yellow

03/04 Pacific Exhibit Time Warp Mario Lemieux / Johnny Bower and Darryl Sittler / Jose Theodore
- Need just 6 more for the set

10/11 Pinnacle City Lights Prime Craig Anderson
- Patch upgrade

Unscanned for the month were a number of 12-13 Upper Deck Update cards from Tiger Tiger and 14-15 Upper Deck Update cards from OT Sports and 87sluggo


For Various collections

11/12 Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Contenders and SPX RCs

14/15 UD Ice Black Kevin Hayes

Big Bang Theory Seasons 1/2 Memorabilia #4
-just seeing if anyone is paying attention

For the Canucks Rookie card collection
Sven Baertschi Crown Royale, Dominion and UD MVP
- Down to 3 of his cards left to finish him off

Joe Cannata Titanium Retail
- This finishes off Cannata who hasn't played for the Canucks but moved from #5 to #3 on the depth chart. Oh boy. Found the card at OT Sports and paid him more than his asking price!

Bo Horvat Artifacts, UD Black, UD Ice, MVP Redemption and Masterpieces
- Artifacts/MVP finally arrived, picked up the Black non RC just because, the Ice was a great price, and Masterpieces was also from OT Sports.

Adam Clendening UD Young Gun Update (SPA)
As was the Clendening

For various player collections

Steve McCarthy
02/03 BAP First Edition Jersey
-swatch upgrade

Harold Snepsts

75/76 OPC PSA 9OC
- question, re: OC. How much does a OC designation change how you feel about the card. Is a 8 better than a 9 OC?

Trevor Linden
14/15 SPA and Masterpieces
- both from OT Sports

ITG Captain C Gold #3? (hoard) and Lord Stanley's Mug Gold Cup Rivals Quad #2 (upgrade)

Martin Gelinas
Flames Ticket Nov 5, 2005
- Flames won the game 1-0. Kipper/Auld in net. Gelinas had scored the OT goal to eliminate the Canucks the last time they played but had since moved on to Florida for the 05-06 season. So with the player gone, the Flames trolled the Canucks by throwing Gelinas on the ticket. Well played.

13/14 Oilers Team Logo, Championship Banner and Championship Banner auto
- not much to say, more for the hoard. Wish I could find more of the autographed banners.

Chris Tanev
13-14 Crown Royale Silhouette Prime
- barely 3 colours, but nice to cross this off the list.

Alexandre Burrows
- Not much here either, 13/14 Ceritifed Clear Cloth Gold (Upgrade), 14/15 OPC Platinium Traxx from Derek and also from Derek, 13/14 Prime Prime Colors Logo (upgrade)

Thanks for the read,

Kevin

Wow, a show n tell a whole year in the future, did ya fire up the Delorean?

Nice mix of stuff there - I've only seen the Time Warps a handful of times in a variety of show n tells - what a neat idea, never get tired of seeing them. Wish some manufacturer would give a subset like that another go!

Heh, can never go wrong with Sheldon Cooper 'game worn' pants... "I'm not crazy, my mom had me tested!"

For the graded card question - believe the consensus I've seen is a PSA 9 OC is roughly equivalent to a PSA 7, which makes sense to me... a nicely centered 8 has more eye appeal to me than an OC 9, although for the Harrrrrr-old the centering isn't as much of a detractor because it's not as obvious as most OPC cards where there's a distinct border that is ideally the same distance from all four edges, so for this particular card maybe the OC 9 is closer to an 8.

Great pickups! I love the story about the ticket, that's quite funny. And "Sheldon's plaid pants" was an interesting card to throw in as well lol.

I enjoyed the non-sport card as I have my own non-sport PC myself. Also the Time Warp cards, remember those well, think I have a Dionne and Kariya kicking it somewhere? Great haul as always pal!
