A Shocking Mail Day for Me! Thanks Upper Deck!

[johnse27]

So today I received a package that I wasn't expecting! A pretty big package which had a card in it addressed to me. This is what the card said:



Now I had posted a message on here a while back mentioning that I was looking for the final Flashback Fabric from the 08-09 set that had eluded me. In fact I didn't even know if the card existed since I had never seen it. I received a couple messages on the boards saying that they had seen one posting for the card which was #248 a Henrik Zetterberg card. A couple people said they had the patch card but had not seen the regular card. Last week I received a message from Gomaz asking for me to confirm my address which seemed kind of strange but I did. Today this card arrived much to my shock!



Thanks Upper Deck and I assume Gomaz as well! This is why I enjoy being a member of this board.Here is the rest of the Flashback set for your viewing(although some of you have seen it)
Thanks and comments welcome!

I don't collect Upper Deck but that is a really nice gesture of them. I really like how some guys are pictured with their old teams.

 

[TanguayFan]

Great job! kudos to UD for that one....

Now if only we could get proof that the Neely and Bucyk Ultimate 1997 Legends Signature cards exist....LOL

 

[gratzi]

Wow that's awesome!

Paul,

Glad to see the card land with someone who will truly appreciate it. And Kudos to Upper Deck for going out of their way and hooking up a well-deserved collector. Maybe we'll see more of this from Upper Deck with their 25th Anniversary going on?

Cheers,
Eli:beer:

Great stuff, where is that Langway swatch from?

 

[BruinsFan08]

This is an awesome gesture by UD, what a nice thing to do for a collector. They've always been good with replacing missing hits and sending replacements for redemptions that never get made, so I know they're capable of good things.

Great job! kudos to UD for that one....

Now if only we could get proof that the Neely and Bucyk Ultimate 1997 Legends Signature cards exist....LOL

Right? Been looking for that Neely forever, and the card that will finish this nameplate...



I don't think I've ever seen a copy of that blasted Y anywhere, and will probably die of old age before I find one.

 

[gomaz]

Don't thank me....all I did was make sure they knew where to send it.

Ryan, from UD, their Quality Assurance/Redemption Supervisor contacted me to get your address and asked me not to tell you why. So I just honored his request and am really happy for you to finish off that set. So cool, congrats!

That was AWESOME for Upper Deck to do that. Congrats on completing the set.

 

[rvelligan]
