My 'Roman' Days Are Through

[leafschik1967]

I have seriously had this title picked out since I started collecting Lyashenko about 3 years ago.

Here is what everyone has been waiting for, a guided tour of Roman Lyashenko's hockey card career.

Some nice cards of Lyashenko in his Russian uni.

2002 Russian World Championships Roman Lyashenko

Some miscellaneous minor league issues, and a lone Victory card I couldn't fit into another scan.

2001-02 Utah Grizzlies Roman Lyashenko
1999-00 Michigan K-Wings Roman Lyashenko
2000-01 UD Victory Roman Lyashenko
2002-03 Hartford Wolf Pack Roman Lyashenko

A nice BAP card and its respective parallels.

Now, we move onto the Pacific era. These actually weren't all that difficult to come by. It was actually kind of nice, because if not for these parallels, there wouldn't have been very many cards to chase at all.

Starting out with Omega.
1999-00 Pacific Omega R.ChristieR.Lyashenko base, copper, gold, ice blue and premiere date.

Moving on to Prism. These were very nice and shiny

Continuing on to Paramount. These were just a pain in the butt, since they all look so much alike.

Now, the Pacific funny business is all done with, we can move on to some really good stuff - autographs!! Courtesy of BAP Signature Series.

Everyone needs some UD base in their life as well.

And a couple of my favorite issues, two nice Dallas Stars oversized team issue postcards. These look really nice. Supposedly, the one only came autographed. If I saw an unsigned one, I'd like to pick it up, but for right now, this one will do nicely.

If you were paying attention earlier, you would have noticed that my UD base wasn't quite complete. The last card I needed for this player collection was the Tier 2 Exclusives. I had been sitting around, needing that one card for about a year and a half. Then, a lucky post on the Beckett trade boards hooked me up with someone who had 4!!! And he was nice enough to part with one to help me finish this bad boy off. Here it is, happy and at home with his two brothers:

It was really nice to finish this off, as I have collected Lyashenko since the 99 World Junior Championship in Winnipeg, where he captained the Russian team.

Tricia, Congrats on finally adding the final piece of the puzzle, it must feel great

Im hoping I can do the same with my player collection someday as well, but cant seem to locate those darn Victory parallels.

Thanks for sharing the scans too

Now that's a mission accomplished Good job on finding that NASTY UD/25 parallel. They look so much nicer together with the other two, than sitting on a wantlist in text form

Thanks guys!

You're right Andy, that one lonely card looked horrible when it was the only highlighted one on my spreadsheet.
