Finally finished off a set

[gratzi]

I have been chasing the last Iginla Printing Plate I need from 09-10 The Cup and have been promoting it like crazy on most boards I go to. But there has been another set I have been trying to finish since I got to needing one last card at the start of the year. Unfortunately for me that one card was an Iginla card in Al's (Uhtred the Viking) personal collection. I asked him then if he wanted to part with it and he said no. Fair enough, it's part of his PC and a sweet looking card so what can you do.

Fast forward to last week and I decided to ask Al again. Again he said he didn't "want" to part with it but he was "willing" to part with it to see me complete my set. So here is my set, something I have always wanted to complete.

HUGE thanks to Al for moving the 3/3 to me. I know it was tough for him but he was really happy to see me put together my own "quincy". Al is a really great guy to talk with and to make deals with, as I'm sure many of you already know. Thanks again for selling me the last card Al, I really appreciate it! I also promised Al if I ever decide to break up this set, he gets first dibs on getting his card back. Now it's in writing on the boards and I can't take it back lol.

Putting together a whole print run of cards was always one of my long term collecting goals and it's ever sweeter that it's with such a nice looking subset. Next up is trying to finish off my set of 4 printing plates so please let me know if you come across any!


Thanks for the look, comments are welcome.

Al is a real gentleman and my hat's off to him for helping you out...a very hard set to finish due to its limited run. Sorry I can't help you out with your Iggy plate.

A beautiful set of cards Jeff, not just a low print run, but great looking cards as well. Congrats on the "quincy", and thanks for the kind words (and thanks to everyone else as well). Jeff and I have sent a lot of pm's back and forth on HI over the years, (starting on day 2 of my membership) and it's great to have someone to talk to about our cards and the hobby. Hopefully this set stays in your pc for a very long time, but if you ever break it up I'll be ready to bring the 3/3 card back this way. :beer:

Jeff congratulations on completing the game gear Iggy set also kudos to Al for opening his PC to help you complete it. Those 3 Iggy's look great together.

Fantastic story about two traders who "get" this hobby for sure. Thanks for sharing (and the scans -- wow!)

Now that The Cup and Dominion have slowed up a bit and can bump this up and say thanks for the comments everyone! I am very happy to be able to put this together.
