OK, lame - but it's just a title, people!
I've got a couple of more cards that were going to be the toppers of this thread, but (a) I'm too impatient to keep waiting for delivery from Canada, where cards seem to be taking about 3 weeks on average to arrive these days, and (b) I'm not sure when I'll have the time next week to scan and post assuming the DO arrive, so I'll just throw these out there for now...
First up, while I don't generally chase Mario, the seller accepted my offer versus his BIN price, making this one I couldn't pass up... it's available:
Next up, I've been chasing a copy of this card for a while and bungle77 (Kevin) came through for me again in an easy deal:
Thanks, Kev, you da man.
If you've been following along, you already know I don't chase Bourque in an Avs' uni unless it's a deal that can't be refused:
The eBay seller had a very reasonable BIN set to begin with, but after the $20 PayPal rebate from their promotion this month, this card cost a grand total of $30 + $3 shipping.
See the comments above concerning Ray in burgundy, but this card was offered to me in a very reasonable deal from newer trader neoviper (Rob):
Thanks, Rob, for a very easy transaction!
Next, from the inimitable mathomet/holygoalie (Mike):
Thanks, Mike, for another in a long line of easy deals!
Up next, another nice eBay deal:
OK, it's plain and it's white... but I needed it and it came most reasonably ($17) for a /25 card!
Now on to the fun stuff. All the rest of these cards came in a fairly high end deal with gregsobesky, who took a hankering to my auto'd bobbles and busts. If you haven't had the pleasure yet, I can wholeheartedly recommend Greg to anyone here or anywhere else. Very decent bloke to deal with... great communication and quick shipping.
First up, not hugely high end by any means, but while I'd obtained the gold /5 version from gretzkycards (Jeff) a ways back, I never had been able to land this one until now:
Next up, the only other card in this thread (in addition to the Lemieux/Kraft dual auto above) that's available, Greg tossed this into the deal to even things out:
Nice card for you Flyers' freaks out there... 5/10.
Next up, I've tried a few times to strike a deal for this one but the traders usually wanted more than one body organ in trade:
I'm diggin' that the Orr swatch isn't white...
And last, but certainly not least, I'll dedicate this last scan to suitman19 (Bruce):
That's right Bruiser... 4/20, with a nice, chunky seam!
Anyway, that's all for the time being... when the last two slabbed goodies come in, I'll update. Thanks for looking, drive safely, and feedback (as always) welcomed.

The Orr /20 is also very nice indeed. Congrats and thanks for sharing the goodies. 
You did very well with the Orr and Bourque cards. Got to love that seam!
