Verified Trader,
It took me a while to find the 04/05 ITG Ultimate Auto Threads Giacomin for my PC and when I finally managed to find one I really became a fan of the cards.
Just recently I had the opportunity to add another to my PC.
This purchase cost me considerably more than the first copy I picked up.
What a sharp card! Certainly overpaid for a single card.
Why did it cost so much more?
May have overpaid for a single card......
But Eddie had friends this time!
The other 28 cards in the COMPLETE SET of 04/05 ITG Ultimate Auto Threads!
I'd started up some ITG Ultimate side projects recently when I came across this set for sale. I was able to strike a deal for it and coule not be more please to add this to my collection. Surprisingly the slabs themselves are MINT and bordering on flawless which is pretty amazing.
One thing I did notice, and maybe someone knows better, but it appears though at least some of these cards were signed after the swatches were imbedded. If you look at the Potvin you can see where ink touches cardboard and it's noticeable on a couple others as well. I assumed the players signed a chunk of jersey that was then cut and assembled into the card.
Here's some other ITG Ultimate pickups.
Back in 2008ish I came across this set and it actually got me back into collecting. I sold the complete set to someone, who owned it for the next 10-11 years. We recently agreed on a price for the 21 of 25 cards he had left. These are 2 of the 4 missing cards to recomplete the set the set that got me back into this whole mess!
Some other ITG Ultimate subsets I like that I decided to collect:
And these last ones don't need much explanation. Not a set project, but cards I want to try and pickup as they pop up. The Roenick I picked up a while back but the other 4 are recent.
Hope you enjoyed the show! Pretty huge pickups if I do say so myself. Heavy Giacomin Show & Tell will return to its regularly scheduled time soon, as I have some brutes that just came in for that PC as well!
