Verified Trader,
Hello all,
I have not been an active poster in about a year an half due to many new life experiences (school and work) but my collection has not taken a break over this time. Through my schooling program (Mineral Resource Engineering) I've been granted the opportunity to work in both government and private industry positions both in my home province and abroad as part of a co-op program. Due to my frequent movement across the country, it was difficult to scan and post cards as they were acquired so this post will include the highlights of the cards acquired over the past year and half or so, concluding in a top 20 at the end. So without a further delay here we go:
The Collection
My collection can be summed up as anything short-printed or interesting from 2005-06, with special priority given to specific sets such as UD High Gloss /10, UD Game Patches /15 and Victory Black Parallel /5. This will be the majority of what will be viewed in this post so if anyone comes across any that I am missing please let me know. I recently invested in a new Epson V600 scanner and I would highly recommend this to anyone looking to obtain high resolution images for their cards. The contrast from my old scanner to the new is insane! I am about 70% through re-scanning my collection and can be viewed in its entirety at the link to my flickr account: https://www.flickr.com/photos/153486645@N06/collections
Non-2005-06 Pick ups:
Its not often that I decide to venture outside of defined PC, but I couldn't pass this one up. A nice 2002-03 Hasek MacDonald's patch at a great price, numbered 1/211 to boot!

2005-06 Beckett Graded Cards
My goal is to collect as many rookies from 2005-06 in BGS Pristine 10. From Crosby to Matt Foy and everyone in between. The set I've been collecting for some time now is the Young Guns set in BGS 10. The the addition of Kostytsin and Bernier BGS 10 copies brings my total to 20.

2005-06 Autographed Cards
While I don't really seek out autographed cards (more of a swatch/patch person), I will pick up SP, low numbered or graded rookie autographed cards. One of my favourite sets is the rookie ink from Upper Deck, especially really limited copies such as Wolski /8. the Rolston is a gold BAP parallel /10, the Esposito /5 and a nice BGS 9.5 rookie year Ovechkin auto.

2005-06 Parallel Cards
I'm definitely an anomaly when it comes to collecting parallels. Not only do most collectors seem to detest them, but I try to put the entire sets together.
Hot Prospects: This series featured Red Parallels /100, Rookie Red Patch Parallels /50, White Parallels /10 and Rookie White Patch Parallels /5. For the sake of length, I will only show the patch versions. Here is what I was able to acquire:

[/url]#238 by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG]
[/url]#260 by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG]
Beehive: The following features Matte parallels /25 and Gold parallels. I've heard that the gold versions are supposedly limited to 15 copies but no one has been able to officially confirm it for me to date. My favourite beehive pick up is the Lundqvist rookie /25.

Black Diamond: This release included a ruby parallel /100, emerald parallel /25 and gold versions /10. For the sake of this post I will only show the gold versions. My favourite pick ups are the Luongo, Datsyuk, Roy and Keith RC.

MVP: The two parallels in this series are the gold /100 and platinum /25. Some of the cards are a little cut off but it was due to the printer not sensing the white border and not the card itself. I was particularly happy to pick up the Thornton and Forsberg cards since they are checklists. Based on other parallel sets I've collected, checklist cards can be extremely tough to find.

[/url]#439 by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG]
[/url]#443 by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG]
Powerplay: The parallel for the Powerplay issue is called Impact. These can be tough to find since the serial numbering is dependent on the player number and they are easily missed. I was pretty happy to pick up a Yzerman /19 for a great price.
[/url]#34 by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG]
[/url]#74 by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG]
Victory: Here are the highlights of my pickups for gold /100 and silver /250 versions. I also picked up two oversized versions of the base cards (McCabe and Khabibulin) which I never knew existed! If there are any more oversized victory cards out there please reach out to me

2005-06 Jersey Cards:
I am always looking to pick multicoloured jersey cards from 2005-06, the more colours the better!
Hot Prospects: The only jersey release from hot prospects was hot materials. My favourites are the 3-colour toivonen and Stempniak copies.

[/url]HM-MG by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG]
[/url]HM-RI by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG]
Upper Deck: The Turco 4-colour Big Playmakers jersey is tough to beat, while finding an NHL generations card with a multicoloured swatch is tough, let alone two on the same card!

[/url]D-KS by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG]
[/url]T-BLL by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG]
Fleer Ultra: The following includes cards from the scoring king, difference makers and rookie uniformity sets. My favourites include the 2-colour difference makers Crosby, and the rare 3-colour Rookie Uniformity versions including a nice Ovechkin.

[/url]TC-WAS 1 by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG]
[/url]TC-WAS 2 by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG]
ITG: The only pick up is a Crosby Country of Origin with a stick and jersey piece. I don't know much about it but I do like the multicolored piece and the "WO" on the stick from SHERWOOD.
[/url]SCM-14 by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG]
Ice: Here are some excellent 3-colour copies of Frozen Fabrics, Fresh Ice and Cool Threads jerseys, including an awesome 3-colour Ovechkin graded BGS 9.5.

[/url]GG-AO by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr[/IMG] 
OCA-BO by Isaias Peraza, on Flickr
SPx: I was fortunate enough to pick up most of these SPx jersey auto cards in one lot, which was very appealing to me since all were 2,3 and 4 colour swatches.

Ultimate: I absolutely love the designs from the 2005-06 Ultimate series, but multicolored swatches are tough to find. This makes the Jokinen 4-colour piece that much more special.

2005-06 Patches:
Undoubtedly my favourite genre of card to collect, I'm always on the lookout for new eye catching patches or an upgrade to one already in my collection.
The Cup: My favorite one of the bunch has to be the Kari Lehtonen 5-colour patch. The Atlanta Thrashers patches were always so unique and the amount of colours used in their patches made them very eye appealing.

Ice: The Thornton and Belfour cards take the cake in the Ice Patches categories. The Belfour for the eye appeal and the Thornton for both the patch selection and the crispness of the autograph. I believe there was a fading issue with autographs for this release, so the fact it hasn't deteriorated over time is a plus!
