Verified Trader,
Hi all.I was waiting for a certain card to arrive before posting part 2 and it showed up today 
This part 2 is mostly case hits from the Cup ( from group breaks or cases i opened ) as well as other sweet cards.Hope you enjoy the view.
I would like to thank Patrick ( xmitsui ) for help acquiring cards and being a great trader and all around asset to the hobby.
Well Wednesday was trader night at MapleLeafSports here in Calgary and i opened a case of the Cup ( Darren i forgot to get a picture for your blog )
I did manage a few trades and here are 2 of the cards i acquired.
First my second copy of this Hedman card.
Next i am not a big Dominion rookie fan but hard to turn down a 4 color Landy when the opportunity to trade for one arises.
Next some Cup rookies that have arrived recently
The Shaw is his jersey number 65/249
A few redemption arrivals
Each year i pick a few players to collect from the Cup and it was Landeskog , Connolly , Couturier and to a lesser extent Hodgson and The Nuge from 11/12 The Cup.
So these dual honorable numbers fit well for two of these players
10/14 , 12/14 and 14/14
Then i acquired some Cooter honorable numbers
1/14 , 7/14 and 14/14
I was in a SP Game used break and was lucky enough to win this card
(available if someone needs it)
Next some scripted swatches of players i collect (mostly from Patrick)
Then a few random group break hits
Well it is time for a top ten ladies and gents.
This is the order i would put them in maybe you would change the order ?
#10 A running back with a great future with Cleveland Trent Richardson.
A sweet pull i had in one of my cases.
#9 Gretzky scripted swatches X 2 one of then i won in a group break one was a case hit that i opened.
#8 A card i pulled on Wednesday at trader night (technically (Gomaz) pulled it as i let other people open the tins from the case.The Nuge gold rainbow.
#7 Always nice when you can find a sweet card of a player you collect and this one qualifies.
#6 I collect gold rainbow rookies among other things and was lucky enough to pull this sweet one as a case hit and a player i collect made it even better.
#5 I purchased this redemption and was pleasantly surprised on the nice patch when it came another sweet gold rainbow.
#4 Well another gold rainbow makes in the top ten this one i was able to trade for with Patrick as i needed a 4 color one to go with his 3 color brothers.
#3 I was in a group break that this absolutely sweet card was pulled for someone else and i knew i had to have it. It was Upper Decks Facebook page of great hits from the Cup.You would be hard pressed to find a nicer St Louis patch and the player was not too shabby either
#2 A couple of Oiler greats on one card a sweet case hit i had.
#1 Well i have been very lucky winning Landeskog in group breaks and this was my third copy i have won from C&C.The family picture of all four of them looks good as well don't you think ?
Well i hoped you liked the top ten ?
But i may have forgotten one card.
I passed on an opportunity for the black 1/1 as the asking price was too high.
I never had a chance at the Ultimate rookie shield.
So this will have to do

I've been on pins & needles for 2 days now waiting to see what this monster card was that you were waiting on. Another great group of cards from the "rainbow man", and that dual shield card is a real stunner! Always a lot of fun watching you bust open tins of The Cup Joel, thanks for the show.
