More mail this week. Some BIG-time pickups!

[TheGriceBoys]

Another bruuutal title but what the heck, there are some big cards with some BIG scans. The last 3 of these cards I have been hunting for awhile and SUPER AMPED to have scored them.

Comments, as always, are welcomed and appreciated. Here we go!


First up, another addition to the Blake PC. Not much but you know these kinds of cards get tough to find a few months from the release of a product.

Here's on e for the Foppa PC. Super nice swatch on this bad boy!

Now the big 3 for the day!





This card I have been hunting for for quite some time. It is one of 3 Shaq cards issues by Topps that year, hard-signed, limited to 34 with a relic piece. I have the Shoe/Auto /34, now I have this (All-Star Warm Up/Auto 34) and I know someone who has the Jersey/Auto, just trying to "break" him. These cards are SUPER tought to find and are just beautiful. I am down to "only" 20 or so Shaq auto's I need for my PC now!

The next 2 are for the Av's PC, and man are they a couple toughies. I have coveted both for quite some time and ironically scored them from the same seller!




First up, Ray Bourque 01-02 Challenege for the Cup Then and Now dual jersey autograph #/25. What else do you want? Super limited, hard-signed, Av's AND Broons jersey swatches? Haven't seen one in a few years now. I am a bit smitten with this one......

And here's the last piece of our show. Patrick Roy 03-04 UD Ice Under Glass SP Autograph! This one literally got my heart going a tad when I saw it. And that's hard to do these days with cards. I think I have wanted this Roy auto more than any other Av's certified auto issue he has out there. Now I do. I am kinda happy about it too!

That tis all my friends. I may have my first ever 3 mail thread week in a few days. We shall see. Hope you enjoyed the first two and take care!

Sweet pickups Barrie

That Roy Under Glass Auto is sweet, busted some of that when it came out, and those are awesome looking cards. Sweet Forsberg as well, nice patch on that one Congrats on the Bourque pickup, those are tough to find, and again...gotta love the hard signed auto Who is this Shaq dude though? Does he play for the Kings

LOL, I don't care who he plays for as long as it's not the Clippers or Ducks!

Shawn, thanks, as always, for the kind words my friend! You're the man!

I heard Kobie wanted him traded to the Clippers actually, but that fell through and he ended up with old man Riley and the Heat

Lucky for Kobe he is in Miami or Shaq would be dunking off his dome!

Hey, don't get me wrong, Kobe is uber-talented, but he is such a whining little beach. I wish Shaq would just mash him into the court!

 

[newfiecomicguy1]

Very nice, I am loving the Shaq.

 

[MGiuseffi1969]

Barrie, Nice stuff all around. I really like the swatch on that Foppa and the Roy, Shaq and Bourque cards are da bomb. Thanks for the peek. Mike

 

[chips*dad]

Nice Bourque CFTC, Barrie. Even as much as I steer clear of Bourque in the Avs' uni, I gotta admit that's a sweet one. BTW, you'll have PM soon with links to the promised WTC pics.

Regards,

B-

As always great post. As for nba, man oh man oh man King James is holdin it down. If they boot the pistons, his elite status will just be insane. I find it funny how everyone on tv turned on shaq, he has a 20 10 game and you hear, well hes old, he isnt the same shaq. As if everyone expected him to avg 28 12 till he retired. Always nice to see shaq autos.

 

[bryanstarock]

Barrie, if you collect lakers stuff, collect Samaki Walker heh...

just kiddin

Nice Haul, but I'm diggin on the under glass..no offense to Shaq Fu

 

[Avalanchefan21]

Love the Forsberg patch Barrie! The Roy auto is also Sweet!!!

 

[TheGriceBoys]

Scott, thanks for the peek.

Mike, as always, I appreciate the kind words and taking the time to stop in and reply.


Dave, and since I don't do Broons cards of RayBo, we got the market blanketed just fine huh? Well if I get an Av's card that makes you pause, well that in itself is a HUGE compliment. Thanks for the pictures as well my friend!


L, thanks again dude. I know you said if you ever broke down your set I could have the Roy. I just couldn't wait that long!

Vinny, thanks for the looksie. Yeah , it is kinda funny how Shaq is an "old man" now and can't play the game anymore. Look at the career numbers and I think most people will sheet themselves.

Bryan, Shaq Fu take no offense to your love for Patty Roy. I'll add Samaki to my mammoth list of PC's!

RJ, thanks for the kind words. I kinda figured you might have some love for the Av's goodness. Thnaks as always for coming in and taking a gander.

Barrie, gotta love the haul it is super sweet!! I've never seen that Bourque cftc auto before so it's gotta be a toughie! I know what you are saying about the Ice under glass auto's also. I have the Zetty and they are pretty sweet.
Also thanks for showing the other stuff as I don't get to the other boards on HI very often and I'm a big Shaq fan...
