Verified Trader,
Hey gang!
It's been a while again. I guess I'd be better off doing just one mail post per month, since it just seems to happen anyway, lol.
Nah, I've been working extra hours at work for the whole summer, but I feel it's going to ease down (at least) a bit. (One can only hope
)
Thanks to all he persons I've dealt with, you know who you are.
Ok, let's get down to business...
Bought these traders from an eBay seller from whom I was already going to buy some cards. The shipping would have been the same for multiple cards, so I thought why not? Only the Hejduk, Richards, Svatos and Bernier are available anymore. The Fleury and Jovo were pick ups for my brother's PC.
This trio of JR team issues didn't come exactly cheap, but given how rarely these thing pop up, I gave it a go.
Various additions to the PC. I was absolutely thrilled to get the MacLean team issues. The Tkachuk I didn't know of until a fellow Finn contacted me about it (along with the MacLean's and Isbister Wolf Pack issue).
Speaking of Tkachuk, the 97-98 Specialists Level 2 is easily my favorite pick of the past month. Paid over book, but it really didn't matter, since I would've paid double book for it, if it would have come to that. Yes Wes, I did see you on the bidder list.
Some nice inkage here. Got two of the three UD redemptions I had pending (still waiting on the Signature Shots Stick Variation). Of course,
both came separately in their own enormous envelopes.
With the Tkachuk Auto/Jsy I'm done with this year's ITG Ultimate.
I'm glad I finally landed the Roenick Trilogy Scripts. I won one a way back, but apparently the package simply got lost, since I had bought another card form the same seller, and that card did arrive accordingly. Plus the seller had a perfect feedback.
Anyway, ended up paying significantly more for this copy, but at least I'm done with it.
Here's another card took its sweet time to arrive. I think I ended up waiting for the Demitra/Tkachuk SPGU Rainbow almost 2.5 months.. Yes, the package looked like it had been ran over a few times, lol.
While my Hartnell collection has unfortunately been on a complete halt for a while, at least the Hecht pc is progressing fairly well.
The 02-03 Topps Heritage was ridiculously hard to find, even if it's a SP.
If the Tkachuk Specialists was my #1 pick up of the month, the Roenick 96-97 Black Diamond Gold is most definitely the #2.
I had been eyeing the card for who knows how long on Burbank's site, and after they lowered the price, I decided it was time to act.
It was still fairly pricey, but well worth it. The JR The Cup Signature Patch opened up the game for Cup pieces for me this season.
While I don't exactly like the looks of this card, the players are alright.
This one ranks as the first Lemieux GU I've ever own, by the way.
Last weekend I decide put an order forward on Fairfield's Markeplace store. Well, the package left US ground on Monday, and to my amazement
I had the package at the post office near me already on Wednesday. Now that's what I call fast shipping, lol.
Most of the cards in the nxt scans are from Fairfield, but there are pick ups from Winston (winniescards) in the mix as well. Always a pleasure, Winston!
The Cole Crown Royale turned out to be numbered 026/whatever, very nice surprise for sure.
The Hecht Paramount Premiere Date completed the nine parallel set from that year. It was very enjoyable to slide it in its place in my Hecht binder.
The Tkachuk Fleer is the Tiffany parallel, and I gotta say the SPA Limited was a serious pain to obtain, since there hasn't been too many of them kicking around.
To sum it up, I have a quite excellent card month behind me. Lots of old gaps filled from the past years.
I hope you enjoyed the show!
Thanks, Sauli
PS. Please, if you have the time, check out my page for my Gratton and Cole (and everyone alse too) wants. I'm sure folks here have some simple stuff available I'm still missing.
