Haven't done a mail post in a while, but after two sweet days of mail in the later part of this week, I definitely have reason to do it.
Here's some of the smaller items that found their way to the mailbox.
The Ladd, Asham, and Williams come from jdmatchett. The Wesley comes from another trade, but with the loss of some trade threads I can't remember from who at the moment. The Bernier comes from a local Devils trader, the same one for which I picked up the Asham. The DiPietro comes with another card from eBay and is an upgrade to the one I had. The bottom row comes from Billie (Srt4gurl), with the Samsonov having a nice color split; Billie is always top notch to deal with, and be sure to check out her recent S&T post for some nice sets.
OK, some nice stuff, but I usually wouldn't put together a mail post just for those cards. Here are the three stars and not necessarily in the proper order as I can't seem to make up my mind with the order.
3rd star
Cam Ward Number Marks! Yes, both numbers came on the same day. There are some creases around to bottom corners of the number, but that seems to be consistent with what I hear most others are seeing. If you like those numbers...
2nd star
Eric Staal Number Marks! Both of these came the same day as the Ward Number Marks. Hard to top, although the next mail post will definitely post a card that I would put above it, but this next card is nice to finally have in hand.
1st star
Brodeur 03-04 BAP Memorabilia Practice Makes Perfect jersey! You're right, I'm not a Devils collector, so why am I excited to get this one? I've been working on this set for about 26 months, and this card finishes the set of 16 cards. The Shanahan, Iginla, MacInnis, and Brodeur are responsible for more that half of the time it took to put this set to bed. So here are the pictures of the set.
This now finalizes five sets from 2003-04 BAP Memorabilia: Tandems, Future Wave, Jersey/Stick, Future of the Game, and Practice Makes Perfect. I think it's time for me to put this product to bed and stop looking for upgrades on what I have.
Thanks for the look, and comments are welcome. Be sure to check out my next mail post, as I'm excitably waiting for the most expensive card I've purchased in the last nine months...
