Hey all:

Well, it’s time for the latest acquisition post! As some know, I am going to build sets now (but still keep the Ladd collection going). First up are a bunch of nabs I got from a local guy. He was interested in a bunch of my trade bait that I couldn’t even get a nibble on here. All of these first pictured cards are available. The two sets I am working on are 2006/7 SPA and 1968/69 OPC. Of course I remain interested in top name rookies too.

Next up, you will see in the top right corner, a white whale that I have been beating the bushes for a long time now. Landing this Jagr SP now means I now hold complete sets of 2005/06 UD1 jerseys, Shooting Stars jerseys, and UD2 Rookie Threads jerseys (no whites). I even have a line on the UD2 jersey set, but I have so much to buy, and so little money remaining (same old same old). And of course with my usual anality, I have all the base and inserts sets too. None other than everyone’s bud Vinny (meth68) set it aside for me. Thanks again Vin!!!
You will also see my meager start at the 68/69 series. I think I’m going to focus on well centered cards without creases. Fuzzy corners aren’t as big a deal to me. I am finding myself getting all nostalgic with this set as it’s the first set I put together when I was just a wee lad! FYI, the Sawchuk is Topps (not OPC) but I just had to get one. Is there any other issue of Terry in a Kings uni? And of course, what’s a Cuda post without a Hurricane rookie too ;)

The next two pictures are mostly the success I have had thus far on the SPA FW autos. Not pictured is a Shultz redemption and a Benoit Pouliot (just received). I have several more coming in, and almost all of them are from valued members of our community. A huge thanks to Michael Doyle and RynoRat!
The second page also shows my “quadratic Laddic”. The fourth variation is numbered 1/1. Again, Ryan (RynoRat) deserves another huge thank you from me for holding onto this badboy for me!

Thanks for taking a peek.

Wow Glenn. Looks like you got that hobby spark back. Nice pick-ups and good luck with your sets. Next time I'm at the local money pit I'll see if he has any of the 68/69's for ya. I know he has a ton of vintage stuff.
 
sweet cards and congrats on completing the shooting stars set. I love the look of the 68-69 OPC.

If you need help with the 06/07 SP Authentic, shoot me a pm and tell me what you need.

Thanks Nick
 
Hey Glenn, nice start on your OPC set, best of luck and I'll keep an eye out for you. Loving the sig with all the Ladd's, very cool.

Thanks.
Dan.
 
Some sweet cards there Glenn. Thanks again for our trade, and best of lucks with the Ladds and the two sets. Let me know about your next trip overseas so I can pick up another 1/1 for you ;)

Ryan
 
Thanks all!

Jon - you're right. This set collecting thing has me going again :D Please let me know what you guy has of the 68/69. As you can see, I have a very long way to go. BTW, do you still need that Staal Supreme auto? :cool:

Nick, I will try to drop you a PM tonight. I have some snipes set at the moment and need to find out which (if any) I win.

Dan - thanks partner :) Getting all 4 variants is a bit of a rush, specially when the last one is a 1/1 :p

MrOctober - I couldn't agree more. These SPA FW autos are even more impressive in person.

Ryan - again I can't thank you enough. The Ladd is one of my best PC cards :D I'll have to book another trip to India...
 
Man, Those Ladd Jerseys look good all together like that.;) Very nice.... Also, way to go killing that Jersey set. There haven't been too many of those Jagr's to surface. I'm not sure if Sawchuk has any other Vintage Kings cards. I know his 69-70 card is a Rangers card (his only vintage Rangers card) so it may be his only one... Thanks for the peek. Mike
 
Jon - you're right. This set collecting thing has me going again :D Please let me know what you guy has of the 68/69. As you can see, I have a very long way to go. BTW, do you still need that Staal Supreme auto? :cool:


Oh yea, I had forgotten about the Staal. My Supreme set has been kinda put on the back-burner, but I am still interested. I stopped by my local shop today as well and he's out of town til next week. I'll find out what he has then.
 
Hey Glenn, I am happy I could help out. You rarely see those Jagr's pop up so I knew as soon as I made up my mind to move my Jagr's somehow someway I had to make sure it made its way to you.

By the way if your still interested in the UD2 GJ set get back to me I am sure we can work something out that we could both be happy with ;)
