Luongo Collector
Registered Trader,
Now this isn't a huge mailday with respect to the value of the card, but any player collector who has been years searching will totally get this....
Until the last year or so I focused on completely on finishing all of Luongo's cards from 97-98 to 05-06. I got out of collecting for a few years and it was too hard to climb back in while in Chiro school. To this day I still kind of only chase completion up till 05-06.
Well it's been almost 3 years of constant searching, 3 times a day, and I've been stuck at the same number 925/946 = 97.8%. I only need 21 cards, which some may not even exist, to have them all!!!
You lose all hope in adding cards from that far back, and you kind of accept it, which makes these additions that much more special.
After Luongo's retirement I posted a few pics on twitter, tagged upper deck in them, and Luo himself. Well, I get a DM from a random guy in Nova Scotia who says he may be able to help me out. We exchange emails, he sends a few scans, and I agreed to pay. I'm so desperate to get these cards that I could care less if it was a scam! And today, here they are. Again, nothing special, but the wait and search every single day, over and over, and to add 2 cards in one shot by chance...... man it feels great!!!

This now puts me at my new total.
927/946 = 98% !!!
