Remembered Member,
Hi everyone! It's been great seeing all the top tens so far. I wasn't sure when I'd have time to post up my top ten before the year is up. Well now that Christmas eve is winding down, and since I had some quiet time, I figured now would be a good time to post up an incredible PC year for me. So here it goes, from 10 all the way down to 1. Enjoy the show!

10. 1990 Pro Set Jaromir Jagr Rookie Card Error PSA 10
So far it seems like this is the only Pro Set card period to make any top ten. Personally, this is my favorite Jagr rookie card. I was glad to get a copy of each of his rookie cards again. This card brings me back to when I first started collecting. This was an eBay pickup.
9. Jack Eichel YG BGS 9.5 (subs all 9.5's)
This was my top pickup at the Summit Show in the Fall here in Calgary. Sharp looking card from a good young player.
8. Mark Scheifele YG BGS 9.5 (subs three 9.5's and one 10)
This was a card that was on my want list for awhile. A pickup from a deal on HI. Possibly the nicest YG design, imo.
7. Alexander Ovechkin Fleer Ultra Gold Medallion Rookie Parallel BGS 9.5
Always loved the design of this set, and since I added the regular rookie card to my collection, I knew I had to have this one as well. An eBay pickup.
6. Alexander Ovechkin Fleer Ultra Rookie Card BGS 9.5
As much as I love the Gold Medallion, nothing can beat a true rookie card, imo. Thus I favour the true rookie over the parallel, making this my number 6 pick. An eBay pickup.
5. Sean Monahan Ice Premieres Rookie /99 BGS 9.5
Truly one of my favorite cards. It was a pickup earlier in the year from HI and this one is definitely a keeper for me in the PC.
4. Johnny Gaudreau Ice Premieres Rookie /99 BGS 9.5 (all subs 9.5's)
Similar to my thoughts on the Monahan Ice, this card is one of my favorites and one of my favorite designs too. To think I almost debated moving it at one point. It's not going anywhere. I love this card. An eBay purchase.
3. 2016-17 SPGU Game-Used Sweaters Auto/Patch /99 BGS 9.5 Patrick Laine
The moment I saw this card on a Buy/Sell thread awhile back, I knew I had to have one. Finding a BGS 9.5 graded patch card, and this card in particular in that grade took the cake for me. Just a stellar looking card. Another eBay purchase.
2. 2015-16 UD Black PN Patch/Auto /5 BGS 9.5 Doug Gilmour
Ended up acquiring this puppy via a trade on HI. Very sharp looking card. UD Blacks are very tough to find in high-grade, and the fact that it is very rare - /5 and a BGS 9.5 makes this one of my favorite all-time cards. It's the only one period in the popn reports. Believe me, it almost took top spot. Very happy to have this card in my collection, and I think it may very well be the beginning of a Gilmour PC.
1. Connor McDavid YG BGS 9.5 (all subs 9.5's)
It was a tough one between this one and the Gilmour in the previous spot. Obviously a popular card and one that has appeared already on several HI top tens. But for me this card has always been a favorite of mine. Just love the design and the iconic reality of the YG's period. With McDavid being the next great generational player to the NHL, I believe this is worthy of my top spot. Also an eBay purchase.
Hope you all enjoyed the show. I know I'm posting this late at night but I figured it was the best time for me to get it done. Thanks for viewing! Comments always appreciated! :dance:
