That’s lot of parallels and oddballs off the ole lists!!

And my Top cards from the past couple weeks

A card that HI member Dohboi alerted me about

An ebay listing with a poor photo and generic description that did not mention that this was the Gold version /10 helped me win this for a very nice price

2002 BAP AS GU Gold /10

Thanks again for the heads up Chance!

From a local collector affectionately known as “The Vintage”

1939 OPC RC

Another Pre war RC crossed off the list!

And finally from Ron (VintageHky)

He sent me a PM about a card I needed. We made a deal and he also had another card I needed that we added to the transaction.

Here is one of the many extras from Ron that was inside the package

2002 BAP Sig Series Auto Buyback 1998

The second card in the deal:

2005 SPGU Game Gear /100

And the Not-So-Tiny addition to my Goalie RC project

:dance:





1993 OPC V304 RC

A huge addition and a beautiful piece

Thanks again Ron for working out a deal and for the extras you put into it

There you have it my biggest mailpost ever! What a busy month September has been and it’s only the 10th

Waiting on a few more thanks to the generosity of HI members that will be in my next show thread (C’mon Canada post!!)

[TurcoCollector3]

Great stuff Geoff, glad I was able to help out so much. Looks like you were able to find a lot of cards you needed.

 

[chadsexington]

Geoff...a whale of a mailday as always. Har har har :roll:

Is there a Dave Babych in that Junior Whalers set? I'd love to see a scan

Just for you Matt

Well Liut played in Ohio twice, for Bowling Green in college and Cincinnati in the WHA so that's a close as he got to Cleveland LOL

Would like to see that card/photo all the same

awesome additions, I could look at those spx radiance cards all day!

I agree! Really unique looking cards

A nice post with lots that a player collector can appreciate. Where did you find the Junior Whalers cards?

Thanks Andy. I got the set of 88-89 off of ebay. The 85-86 came from BMB Marketplace

Thanks everyone for the comments so far

 

[VintageHky]

Nice additions and glad to help out...Did I include the Stickers in the package?
I have one of them Buke's Caretta autographed--for some reaon I didn't send as I thought you had one....Glad to help as mentioned..

 

[Zetterchuk]

Very nice haul, Geoff! Lovin' some of those parallels/inserts, especially the '96 Summit Ice and '98 Revolution Ice Shadow! Nice pickups on the vintage as well! :beer:

Fantastic PC adds there. Very cool to see a whole schwack of cards crossed off the lists.

And the Thompson is really cool. Looks like it's in great shape as well.

Congrats.

 

[kritter47]

Pacific parallels, fun for the whole family!

Though I think my favorite is the MVP Golden Classics. Those are a pain in the rear to find, especially now.

 

[newfiecomicguy1]

Geoff great additions, tiny in the title is a fitting word for you

 

[MGiuseffi1969]

Fantastic thread as usual!!!! All the player collection pieces are uber-sweet but those vintage pieces are fantastic. 1933-34 OPC is one of my favorite Vintage Sets. I noticed you have Lester Patrick on your most wanted list. I have a graded copy tucked away in my PC.... Shoot me a PM if you want to discuss. Thanks for the peek. Mike

 

[Bossman22]

The sea was angry that day my friends and coughed up a Whole Lotta Whale...and Burped up some Burkies while being fresh with Franchise Francis which is no Tiny feat!

Thanks for making a september splash Geoff!

P.S That was just a 1st round matchup last night!lol
