A "Silver" mailcall

[whalers29]

Well, this could be my last mail post for a while as none of my guys have been in any recent or upcoming sets, and essentially none of the older cards I need are showing up anywhere. It's nice for my wallet, but not so fun for a collector.

But here's what I've gotten in recently. First up, a few more SPA Future Watch autos:

05/06 SP Authentic Future Watch: Evgeny Artyukhin, Andrej Meszaros, Zach Parise, Wojtek Wolski, Jeff Tambellini
06/07 SP Authentic Future Watch: Drew Stafford, Michael Blunden, Marc-Edouard Vlasic, Mathieu Carle

All from the 'bay. Looking for just two more: 05/06 Al Montoya and 06/07 Kristopher Letang. If anyone has either, please let me know.

05/06 H&P Top Prospects Team Cherry: Ryan Hillier, John deGray, Peter Mueller

Another set that I'm slowly working away at. These were only in the arena (retail) version, so they're fairly tough to come by.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

05/06 Trilogy Rookie Premier Steve Bernier
06/07 Finnish Cardset Tuukka Rask

Got these in trade from Lassi (Atonement). The Bernier goes to my set, and the Rask was a surprise Lassi added in. Thanks again Lassi!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

06/07 ITG Going For Gold Emblem James Neal /20

I picked this one up as an upgrade. Love the sweet 4-color swatch!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

And the reason for the title of this post:

03/04 UD MVP Silver Script Jason Bacashihua /150

I'm extremely happy to land this card! Any player collector with a player in this set knows exactly how tough these are to find, so I'm stoked to knock this one off the wantlist.

As always, thanks for the look and comments if you desire!

Awesome SPA pick ups! Especially the Parise, Wolski, and Stafford!

The swatch on the Team Canada card is cool too.

I _might_ have a Montoya available...

Steph,
Sweet looking mail
I have to agree with Naim... the swatch on the Team Canada card is a real beauty.
Congrats on the pick-ups and thanks for sharing

Sweet haul, Stephanie!

Not very surprisingly, my favorite is the MVP Silver Script. The MVP parallels are driving me nuts, that's all I can say. I'm seriously thinking about picking up more than a few boxes of the stuff just because I'm only 8/27 with the parallels.

Steph, lots of great grabs but I have to tip my hat to you for having a Kings card in there, albeit a former one (Tambellini).

Nice Wolski, Carle and Stafford's as well, those 3 guys are players!

Naim - Thanks! I was happy to land the three bigger guys (Parise, Wolski, Stafford) at what I thought were reasonable prices!

cards-gotta-go - Drop me a PM if you have a Montoya, thanks!

Benn - Thanks for the kind words! I normally don't go for duplicates, but the Team Canada swatch convinced me.

Sauli - Ouch, 8/27? I feel for you! I'm 3/6, but this silver is the first sighting of any I need in probably two years. Break some boxes and pull some for each of us!

Barrie - Glad I could throw a Kings goodie in there for ya! Now lets see some Wings love in your mail posts!
