This set was released just over 13 years (May 6, 2003). The patch cards are numbered in a unique way. The goalie cards are numbered to the goalie’s 2001/02 wins total while the player cards are numbered to the player’s 2001/02 goals total. I actively began collecting the set in late 2009. I received the final card (Roman Turek) just the other day from an eBay member who was selling off cards from the set. Many of the cards were acquired from eBay, but I could not have completed the set without the help and encouragement from the HI community.
There are many members that I would like to thank specifically so hopefully I am not forgetting anybody.
suitman19 – Steve Yzerman (06/13) The first deal that I made here back in 2011 was for the 2nd rarest card in the set. The card is not pictured in the set map, but I still have it in my collection.
Wildhockey – Martin Biron (01/31)
TurcoCollector3 – Roberto Luongo (13/16) which is my favorite card in the set
TBstanleycup04 – Jarome Iginla (28/52) which is not pictured, but is still part of my collection
RAVMAN – Patrick Roy (25/32) and Martin Brodeur (38/38) Two cards that I will most likely never have to upgrade, beautiful patches on both!
nwojoey – Tommy Salo (13/30)
thepunkphase – Mike Richter (23/24)
webottew and gspell – Marty Turco (09/15) Thanks again for assisting me in acquiring this card.
gomaz – Peter Bondra (20/39) Another patch I will probably never have to upgrade
lukko – Patrick completed this set back in 2005. Unfortunately, I never had an opportunity to purchase any of his cards before he sold them, but he was always helpful in answering any questions I had about the cards.
I would also like to thank everybody who had kind comments and encouraging words for me throughout the search. You made the process far more enjoyable. Here are the cards:
Here is how they are displayed hanging on my wall (sorry, not the best photo):
Comments are always appreciated. Thanks again everybody
