Been a while since I have done a Show and Tell. Overall, there may be a lot of cards here, but that is more in part to the box breaks then anything.
Here is the loot:
Just one quick addition for the Howie Morenz collection. This comes via the expo from Chris (DogFoodSoup), the Artist's Parallel /10. Thanks Chris.
Next up are a couple of progress reports. First is my Battle of Quebec and Battle of Alberta projects from ITG Ultimate Memorabilia 8th Edition. I am quickly learning, these things are tough! Lanny comes via Kevin (Inferno).
Both projects sitting at 40%, 2/5. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Next up, everyone's favorite cards. 09/10 Upper Deck Champions Autographs. I am looking to complete the Canadian athlete's in this set. There are eight total, I have six of them right now. Nice even 75% completion. I need Cassie Campbell and Beckie Scott. They actually look pretty good together. Haley is the newest acquisition, and comes via Michael (myfreeadvocate).
Next, a couple of items for the Montreal Canadiens Game Used collection. The Gump comes via ebay, and the Lappy comes via Geoff Travers (geplimestone). Thanks Geoff, nice item to knock off the want list. Comes from a great set as well.
Continuing with the Champions theme here a bit, I decided I would put together a set from Certified, if for no other reason then to say I did something with them in their first year back in the fold. Took a look through, and a couple of sets caught my eye. Decided to go with the Stanley Cup Champions Jersey cards /99. 25 Card set, thought I have yet to see a single Zetterberg, we'll see. Six of the seven pictured here come via Geoff again. Thanks again man. The Luc comes from Ben. Sitting at 28%, if you have any that you don't see here, let me know. Maybe we can work something out.
Last project, 06/07 ITG Between the Pipes: Game Used Pad. These have mostly come in singles via trades, and a couple of purchases. The Brodeur came in last week via trade, the Roy at the expo, and the Belfour and Parent came in this week as well. Down to needing three. Technically four, but I have the Fuhr coming in, barring incident, I need to now just find the Jacques Plante, Ron Hextall and Tiny Thompson. Anyone got 'em?
My Scott Stevens collection got the biggest boost recently. Today two great cards from Norm (trekrun) came in the mail. The main is pure generosity personified. I love the Trilogy card. At some point, I will be sending him a big package of goodies. The last two cards came from him. The quad jersey came in a quick trade as well, and the Sweet Shot, yup, you guessed it Geoff (geplimestone) at it again, this multi coloured version is an upgrade for me, but I probably won't be moving my other copy either. Love adding to this, and love that I don't stress at all about it.
OK, onto the box breaks. Recently got a couple of boxes of Artifacts and finally picked up a box of Certified. Why? Honestly no clue. Here are the spoils. Overall, the Artifacts was below average, and without the Ovechkin patch, one could argue they were bad. Even with the Certified hot box, and two cards /5, I personally didn't have much fun with it. I am not going to bad mouth it at all, but this product overall, isn't for me. A bit disappointed I only came away with one rookie, and while the Anderson /5 is nice, it is very meh.
NOTE: All the Senator cards have already been sold, and the Richards /5 has been traded to Chris (vegaspuck). Everything else available for wants or paypal if interested. Thanks for tuning in this long, if you made it.
