Hi all!

I haven't posted in a while here, but figure to show the most recent pick ups I was lucky to acquire. I continue to slowly pick up cards from 2005-06 The cup. Although, it's been hard lately to pick up towards all my cup sub-sets. I'm sure a tonne are in PC collections, not many boxes being opened anymore and the fact this set is 18 yrs old now doesn't help either.

Anyway, all these cards came in one signle transaction on facebook, thanks to Danny over on FB!


First of all... Base cards, I'm 84% done after these 4 came in. 16 more cards to go!

Next the platinum rookies is a set that's close to my heart. I completed this set years ago and then sold it. Since then, like many, have regretted selling it and have slowly picked them up once again. This one makes it the 17th one I picked up.

The next two cards are towards a set I probably won't finish, due to the prices of the Ovy and Sid, but you never know. So I keep truckin' along with the Emblems of Endorsements sub set. Here's two more additions, Morrow and Nidermayer:

And lastly, my favourite pick up (although the patch ain't anything special) from the bunch towards a set that for sure won't be finished, due to the 3 1/1 cards in the set, the Honorable Numbers. My latest pick up, Grant Fuhr:

Anyway, that is all. Always looking to add more to the collection, so if you have anything that you think I could use, give me a shout.

Great pick-ups Lu. Slowly but surely getting closer to complete. Been fun watching it come together!
 
Beauty pickups! Almost done with the base set so that's something!

Question, though...

...what are the odds there are any unopened boxes remaining of this product? I'm sure there may be a case here or there by an investor, holding until Sid and Ovi retire to sell them for small fortunes, but I can't imagine more than that.
 
The Fuhr is pretty! Cup 05-06 was a great product, designs that turned into classics, and the checklist was not diluted like in later editions.

Thanks man. And agree, although the list of players that had game used pieces added is a bit more impressive in 2006-07, but this ain't too shabby either. But there are guys lke Scott Gomez and Alex Frolov in there, that's all. haha.

Yeah man, I have no idea. I guess my point was not much new cards are coming into the market. haha. But yeah, wish there was a way to know how many more boxes are out there!

Cheers!:beer:

Great to see a new instalment Lu. Congrats on your new additions bud.
Cheers
Dan.

Thanks Dan! Appreciate it. Hope you're well! :beer:

cup 05 and 06 was the best years in terms of design.

There's somethings that i like from each set, from the first 4 yrs of the cup. For example, from 07-08, love the Honorable Numbers (probably 2nd best design after 05-06). And I am partial to the 08-09 Emblems of Endorsement and Limited Logos. But overall, yeah, I think 05-06 was best year.
