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!!!!
