Recovering from my latest round of "quincyitis", I finally got some motivation to post some recent acquisitions. Leaving the best to last.
#8: 15-16 The Cup Emblems of Endorsement Teemu SELANNE (GU All-Star w/Anaheim Jersey #8/15)

#7: 14-15 The Cup NHL Glory Teemu SELANNE AU #10/10 (still love the thickness and feel of these cards)

#6: 16-17 The Cup NHL Glory Patrick LAINE AU #/10 (my first rookie year Laine)

#5 09-10 The Cup John TAVARES AU 3clr #/91 Gold RC (thanks Quincy for the easy deal!)

#4 08-09 The Cup Foundations AU 3clr #/5 (my first rookie year Stamkos; really like these cards with low print run, auto, patch and from The Cup)

...
...
...
Now for the Top 3,... I rarely say this with conviction, but these 3 permanent PC material.
#3. The Cup Alexander OVECHKIN AU 3clr #/99 RC BGS 9.5 (I've been looking for a 3clr patch with more textures and seems than traditional 3clr vertical patches for a long while. Managed to find this awesome example. LONG time searching for this one.)

...

...
Now for a couple of PC shield cards I never expected to own:
#T1: 06-07 Ultimate Collection Evgeni MALKIN Auto Rookie Shield #1/1 (I owned this card for about 24hrs 10+ years ago in a 3-way trade for a white whale. I was sad to let it go. Never thought I would have a chance to acquire it again. It went from New York to Toronto and somehow found it's way 30min away from me in Vancouver. Thanks Dave for the easy in-person transaction! This card is one of the most eye appealing modern hockey cards I've seen. Spectacular! :dance

#T1: 13-14 Ultimate Collection Nathan MACKINNON Auto Rookie Shield #1/1 (After attending the Team North America 2016 World Cup of Hockey games, I became a big fan of MacKinnon's (and Gaudreau's) performances, in addition to McD's speed. When this card first appeared, I went hard after it and was stunned to lose with my offer. However, I am still perplexed and in disbelief that I was able to acquire this card at fractions of what I initially offered. Another spectacular piece of cardboard with amazing eye appeal. Super amazed this and the Malkin are part of my PC! :dance

Always fun to share new acquisitions with enthusiasts in the hobby. Cheers! :beer:
