Klesla milestone mail

[Modojr]

Its taken a few months but I've managed to pick up some harder to find parallels for my Klesla collection. I loved Pacific products back in the day and did they ever love their parallels. They seemed to have a unique numbering system for their parallels too: 83, 49, 106. Never figured out why or what a "premier date" was.

First, some RC parallels from Private Stock. Just need the regular, retail, and gold versions now.

silver version /120

premier date /60

01/02 Vanguard premier date /83

01/02 Titanium red /94

01/02 Titanium premier date /94

01/02 Private Stock silver /108

01/02 Private Stock gold /106

02/03 Topps Chrome refractor

02/03 Topps Chrome black border refractor /100 First time I had ever seen this card

Now for the milestone piece. You may remember a few posts prior talking about my 02/03 Crown Royale dual patch collection. Years ago I started a goal of owning a 1/4 of the print run, 101/403. In today's mail was number 50, halfway there. I wasn't sure if I was going to keep going after picking up number 50, but I'm too excited about it. I'm definitely sticking with my original goal. Not sure how long it will take but it will be fun

#50

Thank you everybody for looking and commenting. I'll definitely keep sharing as more harder to find Rusty cards come in and as I get closer to 101. Thanks again.

A person after my own heart. When I collected Gaborik, I did the same thing with his Crown Royale Patches card with Manny Fernandez. His cards were numbered to /303, so I went for 101 of them, or 1/3 of the print run. I succeeded and finished the quest. I even got the non-numbered version after Pacific went out of business.

Here is the start of the 101 cards:

CR-3-4-5-7-10-11


I also have scans of all the cards in between, but I don't want to take over your thread. So here is the last scan of the final ones and the non-numbered one:

CR-295-297-298-301-302-NO

Good luck acquiring your goal of 1/4 of the print run. :thumbsup:

You are the inspiration to my quest. I remember you posting on Beckett about your goal and I decided to try my hand at the same. Its awesome you were able to achieve your goal. I have one of the non numbered cards for my collection too. You might not remember, but we made a trade (I was chljoe then) for a non numbered Gaborik/Fernandez card. I still have the Parkhurst stick/jersey card you sent.

Really cool to see collections like this and to revisit some great sets in the process. Good luck with your dual patch goal!
