A mail week fit for a King

[Ironman Indy]

I figured to compete with Barrie’s mail posts i would
need to make my meager mail week thread King related

So i will throw out a trivia question to get people interested.

Of the 22 Goalies who have at least 300 Career wins
5 of them have played for the LA Kings.

See if you can name them.

Answer at the end of my mail post.

OK here are my latest pickups:

First like to thank drearick (Dave) for hooking me up
with a load of Sanderson base which brings that PC to over 280
Thanks Dave!

1995 Francis UD Gold Sp Ed

1997 Burke Pac Dynagon Red

1997 Burke Studio Gold Press Proof

1997 Francis Paramount Ice Blue

1998 Burke Pacific Red

1999 Francis Paramount Emerald

Pretty boring huh?

It gets a bit better

Have you figured out the 5 goalies yet?

2002 Burke UD MVP Masked Men MM6

2003 Burke Pac Inv Blue /350

2003 Sanderson Pac Supreme Blue

OK if you are still awake, yes there are actually 3 stars Well for me they are stars...

3rd Star:
2005 Burke UD Powerplay Specialist

Yeah just a plain GU but one of those “listed under one team, pictured with another, swatch from yet another, cards” : )

2nd Star:
2002 Burke Tps Heritage Crease Piece

A purchase from my local hangout Maverick’s - I like the design of this card a lot

1st Star:
2001 Burke Pac Heads Up Quad 26

Love this card -4 different colour swatches - been waiting for one to pop up at a nice price!

So there you have it - a few PC pickups

Figure out the answer yet...

Here you go in order - 1980 retro style!

In case you don’t recognize these legends

Fantastic mail once again,Geoff. I'm starting to like Shawn Burke Myself ,having seeing so many of your mailcalls.

Cool vintage but I have to admit being a big fan of smith you stumped me. Guess the mask threw me off.

Congrats

Geoff,

Great cards, the Heritage Crease Piece is a real bugger to find so congrats on nabbing that toughie.

I remember when those Heads Up quads first hit, everyone was like WOW, amazing they can do things like this with cards. We spoke too soon.

Maverick's huh? Would Andrew be the proprietor of that fine establishment? If so, terrific guy, dealt with him a few times and he's top notch.

Loved the trivia, thanks for that and the awesome retro work. I got 4 of the 5, I missed Billy Smith. What a terrible Kings fan I am.

I actually had The Cat as my fifth, but then I saw the end of the list.

Sorry for my LONG reply, I am cooking some caffeine in my system this morning.

Hey Geoff, very cool mail partner. I love seeing Sean 's cards in posts other than my own,lol. Congrats on landing the quad, I still need to pickup both of them. Congrats.

I'm like Barrie, never even thought about Smith being a King.,lol.
Dan.

Thanks for all the comments guys

Figured Billy Smith would throw everyone off as a King

And here is today's addition courtesy of THE premier Burke collector, Dan the Man:

And here is where it comes from

Love the patch - Thanks again Dan!
