I Saw a Rocket Today

[Matches]

Decided to get out of town today while I'm on days off from fighting fires and went to Imperial Garden's in Grande Prairie. Grabbed an Engrained, Vault and 2 boxes of Leaf Ultimate.

Start off with the Engrained.

I like the look of these cards, but if it wasn't for the hit this box would have been below average. I'll save the hit for the end.

Grabbed a Vault

I like opening this product because it's a blast from the past, but again if it wasn't for the hit, yuck.

And now for the 2 boxes of Leaf Ultimate.

What could possibly beat these cards out for the #1 spot.

#1 card of my break today, from the cheapest product.

Beautiful cards here. That Rocket is outstanding! Must have felt great to pull that one.

That Richard is awesome! The 1/1 Tretiak is cool too but, the Richard is extra awesome!

That Rocket piece is something else! Is that jersey, patch, or something else? And yes, that Tretiak is bonkers, too!!!

 

[Cardboardkid]

I have to say, the Richard is absolutely incredible!!!

I'm not sure if it's a patch or fat seam.

Either way a beautiful card, congrats.

No, it's not a real. The card is a reprint of his 53-54 Parkhurst base card

The Rocket is a beauty! Is the Odjick Vault available for trade?

 

[langway05]

The Tretiak 1/1 sure is a stunner. Although the Richard is very pleasing on the eye.

Thanks for the peek and congrats.

Love the top 3 cards, especially the Tretiak & Rocket! As a fellow Albertan I'll say thanks for what you do, it's looking to be a tough year for fires in the north.
