I was trying to think up a witty title...something to do with crosby, ski..vt, and hot prospects...but my brain aint' working...hahah so the plain ole mission accomplished will do the trick i guess.

Anyways...huge thanks to anyone who helped me with this set...Definetely one of my quickest ones...I think I decided to start this project at the end of November...so about 2 months to complete everything... Too bad it'll take UD another 4 years to send off the redemptions..

No more stalling...Big thanks to Tim (Ski vt) for the last piece of the puzzle..
the Crosby Auto RC Patch 3 clr :)

I'm still looking to upgrade the following ones..
Cam Ward, Alex Perezhogin, Barry Tallackson, Mike Richards, and Maybe Ovechkin if it doesn't cost me an arm..

so here it is :)

MIke- not sure where the blue comes from..a bunch of those hot prospect crosby patches have the blue in it though..

I still need another 20 or so. I have a few deals pending but I've sort of taken a bit of a step back from buying these on ebay because the prices have gone up considerably! Seems that many others are starting to see the value in the multi-coloured swatches. Some of these guys don't have many that are three colours or more.
 
VERY NICE SET!!

I have an extra 2 clr ward and a 2 clr Richards for trade if you have any extras that you would trade

Dave...Ill pm you in a second.

L.. the rookie update dual auto set is next....one more for that one as well...pretty sure you can guess which one that is...
 
Aaron, amazing set completion. It looks great together like that...though it'll be even better once those redemptions roll in for you. Congrats :)

Oh, that set looks so nice...

Hopefully someday i can make this kinda thread too (i only need Crosby from the non redemption cards)

Thanks again guys!!..It'll be nice to fill in those ugly White holes...hopefully it won't take too long
 
Sweet set Aaron, it sure is a beauty. I thought about doing it for a while and decided to give up on it a while back, which is why you got like 6 of the tougher/nicer ones from me a while back...

The blue on Crosby's patch comes from an alternate jersey that the Penguins were going to come out with but never officially did... I tried to find a picture of it but I never did find one. I have seen some people with them with the 87 and Crosby stitched on them and they are quite sharp looking and I think they would have been huge sellers for the Pens. Not quite sure why they scrapped the idea but they did and the jersey's were never worn on the ice. If I find a picture I'll post it in the future. It had a circular type emblem in the middle that said pittsburg penguins around the penguin logo...



EDIT.... here is a picture of it, it was intended to be used as a vintage alternative...
