More Mail. A Rainbow is Complete.

[Bouwmeester 4]

A trade right before the end of the season was really a stroke of luck for me and opened up a door for my collection. As some of you know, I was on the hunt for a Clear Cut and Acetate version of the 2016-17 Upper Deck Brandon Montour Young Guns for some time. Although I knew where two of the Acetates and two Clear Cuts were, I was unable to add them to my collection. Well, following the trade of Brandon Montour to the Buffalo Sabres, I had two of my buddies on Instagram approach me and offer the Montour cards to me as they are both huge Ducks collectors and, since Brandon was no longer on the team, he was now for sale. In my last mail post you seen the Clear Cut-now here is the last piece...

Oh yeah, I also added this piece to my rookie card collection which will replace the 1933-34 Diamond Matchbooks Silver card (matchbook) in my collection. I originally bought that piece because it was listed as a rookie card; however, according to Trading Card Database, it is not. Anyway, here is the really beautiful card I added...

1933-34 V252 Canadian Chewing Gum Clarence Taffy Abel Rookie Card

I am so glad I was picky and patient about the condition of the card.

Thanks for viewing! Comments are always appreciated!!!

That rainbow is incredible but a card from the 30’s is really something special.

Thanks, Derek! I can't believe how nice it is either! When I got it, I couldn't stop staring at it because it was in such good condition. I only see a little round on the corners and some edge chipping but, no creases. Colour is really sharp too!

Thanks, Dan. I agree the Taffy is awesome. This is the only Montour rainbow that I've seen around.

Thanks! Yes, it did! Was really a blessing for me when Montour got traded, haha.
