Figured after looking and commenting on so many great mailcalls here, I would shoot out one of my own.. While I've picked up some other great cards from eBay and other sources, this one is gonna be just what I've picked up in my month or so from other HI members -- thanks to you all, and to those others who have inquired about cards I may need!

First trade completed was with Crankshaft, who sent this baby:
2005-06UpperDeckIceFrozenFabricsPat.jpg

2005-06 UD Ice Frozen Fabrics auto/patch /10!!!
Rod pulled this redemption and was great in negotiating a deal so everyone was happy. Even though it's only a white patch, still great to nail a /10 card any day! :) Thanks, Rod!

Next up is a deal with MGiuseffi1969 who most everyone knows, I'm sure:
2001-02PacificHeads-UpQuadJerseys.jpg
2001-02PacificHeads-UpRed.jpg

2001-02 Heads Up Quad Jersey
2001-02 Heads Up Red Osgood parallel
Mike was great here as well after I approached him once I read about his wax bust, picking up these two.. The price was more than fair and probably slanted quite a bit in my favour, to be honest. Thanks much, Mike!!

Danvincent was the first person I talked about trading with, but thanks to customs, it arrived here in Canada 3rd.. :rolleyes: Gotta love our gov'ts at work!
2003-04ITGAuto.jpg

2003-04 ITG Signature Series auto
I had the regular and gold parallels and even the gold auto, but had a (white) whale of a time trying to find the silver auto. Dan was very helpful finishing off this particular part of my collection, and I definitely appreciate it!

Capt55 messaged me out of the blue regarding these two gems:
2001-02BAPGoalieTraditionsGT24.jpg
2003-04SPGUGameGearComboGCCO.jpg

2001-02 BAP Goalie Traditions Sawchuk/Osgood
2003-04 SPGU Game Gear Combo
Two VERY tough ones to find, especially the Sawchuk, obviously! After several back-and-forth emails, Carol and I decided on a price that suited us both, and the deal was done! Hopefully we can do more in the future!!

Two transactions JUST finished today.. First off, this trade came FAST from BlindThomen in Finland!
2002-03Heads-UpRed73.jpg

2002-03 Heads Up Red /80
Another pull that I managed to track (gotta love that search function!), and my first actual TRADE (as opposed to PayPal).. The scan didn't work that well -- I shoulda taken it out of the toploader first -- but the card looks top notch.. Maljanne, Sauli!!

Last, but certainly not least, 4 cards from Wingnut888, including some real beauties!!
2001-01BAPUltimateGoalieMemGM3.jpg
2000-01UDVintage128.jpg

2000-01UDVintageDynastyPOHIIYO.jpg
2000-01SPToolsoftheGameCombosC-OL.jpg

2001-02 BAP Ultimate Goalie Memorabilia Vernon/Osgood /30
2000-01 UD Vintage Osgood
2000-01 UD Vintage Dynasty Pieces Of History Gold Yzerman/Osgood /50
2000-01 SP Tools Of The Game Combos Osgood/Lidstrom /100
BIIIIIG GU transaction here.. Two, 2-colour pieces with the Osgood/Lidstrom combo.. a /30 Vernon piece.. a Yzerman GOLD card.. Just arrived today, hot off the scanner and posted on here.. I can't thank you enough, Trevor!!

Well, that's the lot so far.. got a few more in transit and/or being negotiated, so hopefully we'll have another of these soon enough.. comments, as always, are appreciated! :)

Cheers,

Mike in Victoria, BC

Thanks alot for the lookie look & congrats.

Nice stuff! That dual dynasty card is awesome. I also LOVE the 03-04 ITGU SS set (as pretty much everyone around here knows LOL).

I have an Osgood auto/jersey available if you're interested in it. LMK.
 
Awesome Mail Mike, Some real beauties that you've managed to pick up for your Osgood PC.
Thanks for sharing and I look forward to future Mail Posts.
Congrats Buddy. :D

DOH! Sorry, got a bit of a mix up there -- I picked up a Frozen Artifacts silver patch /5 and the Ice auto/patch /10 at the same time and with the auto/patch being 5/10, and me being over 35, you can see how I could make the mistake.. ;)

Yup.. the avatar seems to work just fine! Thanks for your help (and comments!) Brian!
 
Wow, that's some haul! I like the Lidstrom/Osgood dual the best but that Stevie Y/Ozzie is a close second! Nice stuff!:)
 
Wow, those are some serious acquisitions, Mike!

Gotta say that the top two pics have so much red it hurts my eyes, lol. :p ;)
I like the 00-01 SPGU w/Lidstrom the best too.

- Sauli
 
hey there you go, quality cards of a quality goalie!

the vernon piece is a nice bonus too, he's always been up there on my list of goalies :)
 
56 Parkies--->Great Ozzy cards there I like the first one of the jersey but more so with the ink on it...good stuff all around, I was not sure Detroit was going to hold onto him but good to see him back this year. thanks for posting up all those nice picks, red and white is definately a language I can understand!!! jason
 
C.J.: Yup, that ITGU SS set looks great, even in my collection where I have just the regular, auto, gold & gold auto all lined up in a binder.. :)

Benn: Thanks for supplying some PayPal to acquire some of those "beauties"! :D

Barrie: The combo stuff is always tougher obviously.. gotta fight for the cards with those Lidstrom and Yzerman fans, too! The combos /10 that are out there are probably a pipe dream these days.. :p

JPatterson#1Fan, hatzosman6: Thanks for the look, and the comments!

Sauli: Thanks for being a part of the acquisitions.. let me know when that Roy Lunchables and Osgood jersey arrive in Finland!

Fritz: Vernon was a solid keeper, and as an Oilers fan, it pains me to give credit of any kind to a former Flame.. lol

Daniel: No worries about the time to arrive! You can't control Customs, and it wasn't like I waited extra weeks or anything! lol I appreciate the addition to my obsession err.. collection! :p

Jason: Thanks for the comments.. Believe it or not, Osgood will probably be in the top 15 all time wins, even in his backup role! :eek: He's under contract for 2 years, and if Hasek gets hurt, he could actually make a run at 400 regular season wins for his career.. putting him in the top 10 all time.. Of course, the fact he's my cousin doesn't hurt my collecting habits.. ;)

Mike have you seen the 8x10's of him beating up ROY at center ice? I have met Chris several times but the last time oddly enough was when Chris was playing paint ball with drapes, and mccarty. I hope to see Chris a few times this season as I hound the wings...at any rate that is cool you are related to him--->He is a great guy. jason

Seen it? Hell, I've got the video of it on my iPod and cell phone! :D A very surreal thing to watch, to be sure.. :)

Chris is a good guy, but fairly shy and such.. I haven't seen him in about 5 years now, because every time the family gets together, he's always off somewhere (goalie school, dealing with business ventures, etc,etc). I remember taking him out to a sports bar in Medicine Hat after he was drafted by the Wings, and he got ID'd, and then refused service because his ID "didn't look like him".. lol. Kinda humbling for a local boy who played for the hometown Tigers and had his picture up IN THE BAR.. rofl
 
HAHA that is a funny story about I.D's. Hopefully I will catch him a few times this season although I have not seen him yet down at the Joe so far this year. It would be a great story to drop on him about the bar ID but I better not say anything about that. At any rate great to have a Osgood collector on the board and keep an eye on my Wings successes and perhaps there will be a Osgood pic or two signed in my adventures--I think I have 6 or 7 different 8x10's I would like to get signed before the season is over on him. jason

Nice Ozzie pieces, I really feel bad for the guy, I mean he is so vastly underrated it's sad. He's won a Cup but he gets no LOVE! Nice to see someone collect him :)

I doubt he even remembers it, to tell the truth.. this WAS 14 or 15 years ago, remember.. ;)

Yup, seeing as there aren't many Osgood collectors out there (tho I DO have an "eBay nemesis" it seems), at least people know what to do if they pull something Ozzie outta a box! lol I finally broke 1000 Osgood cards with my recent deal with Gamebreakers, so just 190 or so left to go! lol

If anyone busts any new Ultra and pulls either the Ice Medallions or Fresh Ink cards, please let me know!! :)

Thanks again to everyone who replied, and everyone who helped make the post happen in the first place.. :D
 
Hey Mike!

Nice pickups! I gotta question for you regarding an Osgood that may or may not exist. Beckett lists an Osgood in 05-06 Artifacts - Goalie Gear (#/50) but it's not listed on the Upper Desk website. Any ideas if this card exists?

Ahhh yes.. the 05/06 Goalie Gears..

I've emailed UD about that myself a month ago; Beckett lists 4 Osgood cards from the Goalie Gear set: Regular, Auto, Pewter & Silver. UD doesn't list 'em at all, so I'm not sure who's right??? I may have to just call 'em, and see what's what here once and for all. :confused:

I've never seen any of the Osgood goalie gears on eBay, for what it's worth, tho I have never checked any of the other cards in that set to see how often they pop up either..

Anyone else know??

Mike
