Couple pickups and a new frame!

[Brave]

It has been a slooow mail month for me so far this December. David Clarkson has continued to appear in the larger base sets put out by Upper Deck.

I picked up his UD Exclusives and HG on Ebay for great prices:

I also put in a 99 cent bid on a Paul Martin HG from 08-09. I guess Paul doesnt get much hobby love because 99 cents is all it took:

This next card was sent to me by our great member Fritz. I am a big fan of guys who stick up for teammates and this guy definately fits the bill. Thanks to Trevor for this Adam Mair auto:

Ok, now to my new frame. When I bought my UD Black Rivals card a couple months ago, I was honestly thinking of cutting it into 4

I was showing my mom the card and she told me to bring it home the next time I came home. I dropped it off to her at Thanksgiving, and picked it up this weeked:

She even got me a 2nd frame if I win a Canes/Devils!

Thanks Mom!!!

These great cards arrived today.

First, a trade with Carried that landed me some 2005-06 Black Diamond for my set:

I swung a big deal with Hatzosman. I got the following from Andy:

The Rupp is out of 150 and the Gaustad OPC is the Blank Back version!

Thanks again,

Eric

VERY cool frame for the Rivals card. Was wondering if there was a realistic way to display those things.

Great cards Eric. You going for that Winchester HG on the bay right now? I think I'm going to wait for the next one. Famous last words? It'll probably on my need list for a while now, lol.
