Mail Call: I'm A Bit Rusty At This

[jaywings19]

Hi Folks. Been a long, long time since I posted any mail. Took quite a long break from cards due to (good) personal reasons. However, I've been picking up stuff for my PC over the past few months. Figured I would take a bit of time during NYR/NSH intermission to share this with the boards.

First, a package that arrived from Upper Deck. . .

Sidney Crosby - 2005/06 UD Artifacts RC /750
(believe it or not... my first Crosby rookie)

Ovechkin / Kovalchuk - 2005/06 UD Rookie Update Dual Auto RC /199
(a rather underappreciated Ovechkin rookie)

Next, a bunch of pickups for the Stevie Y personal collection. . .

Steve Yzerman - 2000/01 BAP Signature Series Jersey Auto /10
(just picked this up as an extra copy)

Steve Yzerman - 2002/03 ITG Used Jersey Auto /10
(also an extra copy... with a nice board burn)

Not my favorite player combination, but still a tough find. . .

Yzerman / Primeau - 2001/02 SPGU TOTG Dual Game Used Auto /35
(you guessed it... an extra copy)

This next one was a deal with HI's own No No No Steve. . .

Steve Yzerman - 2001/02 BAP Ultimate Gold Autograph /10
(been trying to acquire this card for many years)

Sure enough, I came across another one shortly thereafter. . .

Steve Yzerman - 2001/02 BAP Ultimate Gold Autograph /10

Here's another one that I've been chasing for a long time. . .

Steve Yzerman - 2000/01 BAP Ultimate Gold Autograph /10

Finally, here is one that I have never seen before last month. . .

Steve Yzerman - 1998/99 UD Gold Reserve Stick Autograph /19

It's amazing that this last one is 10 years old and nobody I know has ever seen it before. Super happy to have landed that one.

Thanks for looking. . . please drive safely!

Awesome additions, and thanks for sharing!

Yzerman's auto is simply amazing!

Some sweet additions Jason. Funny how those old cards #/10 and alike seem to only pop up in bunches. That last card may be the star of the show, but I always liked that first year of Ultimate set. Classy design. Good to see you posting the goods.:beer: Mike

Great looking Stevie Y's. It's always nice to see rare late 90s autos. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome haul Jay. That stick auto is very nice but way out of my price range. Good on you for landing that one in particular.

Beautiful stuff. Love that red ink one. Nice of you to throw some orange and black in to class it up

 

[canucksfreak19]

Awesome pickups. The red ink really pops (and looks super cool) on the Gold Reserve Stick Auto.

 

[Zetterchuk]

Super haul, Jay...some real doozies in there!! :beer: Love the 00/01 BAPU Gold auto /10, and the Ovy/Kovy is a great addition as well.

Glad to see you ended up with that 98/99 Gold Reserve stick/auto /19! :beer: I remember when that guy posted the scan after pulling that card....I literally almost had to pick up my jaw from my desk when I saw that...AMAZING!! :dizzy::dizzy:

 

[PenaltyMan]

No way! I've never seen that one yet. You amaze me Vanilla wb

[wingnut888]

What a haul!! Glad to see that stick where it belongs Jay! Sweet haul and thanks for sharing..

 

[roaddogg1718]

Awesome stuff. Those Stevie autos are amazing, especially that last one. I would mind a Kovy/Ovy myself. Nice grab.

 

[pmc336699]

I've missed your mail threads. There are always some sweet pieces!

Love the ITG jersey autos. Those can be a real pain to track down. Congrats!!

Stunning haul. Some great, rare HOF inkage!
