Collecting Yzerman is just becoming hopeless.

I am soo tired of losing auctions for nice Yzerman's.
It is just becoming too frustrating.
I have been outbid on every nice Yzerman I have bid on for the last 2 weeks or so.
Anyone have a suggestion for a NEW player collection??
Feh!!

I am going to bed - ignore as needed.
 
It must be that kind of week Bruce. Yesterday and today, between the Fedorov and Gulbis stuff I have been watching all week, I lost out on 18 different cards. I didn't plan on getting all, but as I kept losing out, I kept looking for more. Must be for Christmas or something. The Fedorov inserts that should have went for $4 or $5 ended at $19 and $23 respectively. Since I lived without them before, guess I can live without them now. :rolleyes:

Make that 19, just got smoked on another one. Be a really cheap week I guess.

How about Sean Avery? Don't think anyone else collects him. :p


J - what did I ever do to you to deserve that??????????

I didn't lke the little puke even when he played for the Wings!!!!

How about Zetterberg? Plays for the Wings, is somewhat young, and has some really nice cards out there.
 
Bruce - One of the interesting remarks that came out of the little Expo pow-wow with UD: Hockey is the only sport where the dream of "completeness" remains alive. Interesting, no?
 
Interesting - yes.
Would have loved to been in on the UD discussions.

I gave up on completeness years ago.
The days of Mirror Platinums and Yzerman Howe BTF Dual Autos killed that fire in the belly. That is one of the reasons for the jersey number fetish. I was under he impression when a few fell into my lap that it would not be outrageous.
As I get older - I get wronger - LOL!!!
 
@Lundmark17

Not a good Idea ;)

On the other side : Niklas Kronwall would be a good one. He will be BIG Time in Detroit and the NHL.If you want a Swede of course :o
If notyou better change the Team( Wtch you sure don`t want)
Datsyuk its to late. What more do we have on the Wings??

# Mario
 
Sorry buddy wasn't trying to salt your game.

Kronwall is a solid pick, he's a defensemen so his card swill mostly come cheap. Is Jiri Hudler or Howard a possibility?
 
Bruce bruce bruce!! Am I really hearing the violins for you in the background?!?! :p I get beat out everyday on Yzerman stuff but if I bid what I want to pay and lose out I got nothing to complain about right..:D Not trying to bust your boys or anything just giving you a slap in the face from a fellow Yzerman collector!!
Start your Howard collection today Bruce, the kid is the real deal!! :D
 
easton55 - Darren I know what you mean, by the way- there is a new Feds Artifacts on my tradepage.

Clooch - Joe would be nice - but it will take UD 2 years to get Teal swatches!!!

Lundmark17 - Hmm Zetty. lets see - I may have a few of those laying around already. That could be intersetsing.

Zätta-Nr1 - Mario, I can always share!!!! Except for the Pristine Plates maybe. Kronwall is interesting - except for a couple of details. He is a D-Man, so he will never get the true hobby love and therefore will never have enough shineys especially with Lisdstrom there.

odjickfan - you are safe no Gino Love here.

wingnut888 - ah trev, you take my frustration a little too seriously. It comes more from refusing to pay a certain amount - and seeing that amount exceeded. You know if I really decided that I had to have ALL of the #19/?? items that come up for auction I would. I just cannot bring myself to pay 2X or more book for the darn thing because it is jersey numbered. The same is true with the Autos - some are just going for ridiculous amounts - while some are quite reasonable. How can an Yzerman auto be $60 in one set and $100 in another set with no SP designation??? Besides you are probably the only one that has some idea of what IO may have - LOL.
As far as Howard - I think that is an excellent idea - and one that I have thought about. but you know his stuff will be outta-sight by Ultimate orr Premier or whatever they call it.

Thanks to all - for letting me blow off some steam. unless of course someone wants to buy an Yzerman collection!!!!
 
*whispers to Bruce* Don't collect Shanahan...he'll never go anywhere - only the fringe idiots collect him...it's true! :eek: :D

Just keep going with Stevie Y. If anything, be happy that so much demand is there for the Capt. :cool:
 
Wes,

If you win like one of the big 50/50's or a nice Lottery - I can hook you up.
There are so many Shanny's sitting around you'ld think it was an Irish Pub!!!!
Maybe you should ask for some scannage????
 
Well Bruce stay the h*ll away from Lemieux's(got enough trouble without more collectors)....;)......As far as new player........I think it depends on whom catches your eye..............and easy to obtain......Oh and "Q" completeness my Arse.........There is no way I could ever land all the 1of1's of Lemieux out there.........
Never.............someone else ALWAYS has more money to spend than I!!
Good luck Bruce Drew.
