Figured I would join in on the top 10 lists on here. Already shared my game worn jerseys I picked up this year. Post can be found here..

http://hobbyinsider.net/forum/showthread.php?t=449002

Anyways, here are four of my top 10 lists broken down by random cards (sets or small PC's), Team Canada collection, Turco Cup cards and random Turco cards. None of them will be in any sort of order.

Will start off with my Team Canada collection. I only went with lower numbered cards on this list, not including any of my autograph patch cards /199, or /25 from the womens/juniors sets. I had a great year in adding unique patch cards to that collection, maybe I will do an updated show and tell of that collection on it's own.

First up are random cards for sets, smaller player collections and just completely random pickups...

One of my all time favorite sets was 00-01 SPGU. I have since decided to chase down the patch cards from this set. I am upto 3 dual patches and 3 single patches from the set...

First of a couple random Hellebuyck pickups. Don't collect him but liked both cards...

Black is one of my all time favorite products. I've been picking up a lot of random goalie cards from various black products over the years. This one was a must have...

First of a few Hawerchuk cards I picked up this year. Started a collection of his hard signed stuff...

Another Hawerchuk this time with Selanne.

This was my most wanted Hawerchuk. Took 3 tries to finally get one after two not arriving through ebay purchases..

A beautiful Comrie card for my small Comrie PC

random 1 by Tim Hykawy, on Flickr
A really nice Lalime that was high on my Lalime Penguins wantlist. Down to only a couple cards of his to have the run of his Pens cards.


Next up is my top 10 Team Canada pickups. I have decided to collect cards featuring players from the 2010 team that were inside the Master Collection. Mainly patch cards. I also pickup any and all goalie patch cards from the Womens/Juniors products.

My lone Maple Leaf Forever pickup from this past year. Hands down my favorite subset from the Canada sets. I mainly go for cards with swatches from the sleeve patch on the Canada jerseys. So these are perfect for the PC.

canada 3 by Tim Hykawy, on Flickr
A beautiful triple patch from the Master Collection

canada 4 by Tim Hykawy, on Flickr
A rare addition to my 2012 (or whatever year) Master Collection collection. Only my second Sakic from that product.

canada 5 by Tim Hykawy, on Flickr
This one speaks for itself... Patch card from a 2010 gold medal team member and the swatch from beneath the chest logo on one of the 2010 jerseys.

A beautiful dual jersey auto for the Team Canada goalie collection...

Hands down my favorite card from the past year. I've been after one of these forever....

Just recently started picking up The Cup Programme of Excellence autos featuring goalies on the cards. This was my first dual not featuring Turco.

A triple auto from Master Collection for my Team Canada goalie collection

canada 10 by Tim Hykawy, on Flickr
Lastly a couple quad memorabilia cards for my Team Canada goalie collection

In between transitioning between other pc's and the Turco collection are a couple of booklets that didn't fit in my top 10 group pictures. One for the random PC's (Pickard collection) and one for the Turco collection. I had a really good year in finding older Turco wantlist cards. This being one of them...

Second last top 10 list is My Turco Cup pickups. Only one card here was new to the collection. The rest are all duplicates for some hoards...

Lastly, the only Cup card that is new to the PC.. A black 1/1 parallel. This one was saved from a BGS slab...

To end things off, my top 10 non Cup Turco pickups from the past year. Had a lot of luck knocking off wantlist cards. only missing around 20 Turco cards to have all of his non 1/1 and non Leaf cards.

My second copy of this particular card, but love the design all these years later...

turco 5 by Tim Hykawy, on Flickr
Along with the Honourable Numbers card I shared earlier in the post, this is one of my all time favorite Turco cards. UD Black, gold autos on black and commemorating one of my all time favorite games. This is my 5th copy of this card...

turco 6 by Tim Hykawy, on Flickr
Two Victory cards knocked off the wantlist. I am down to just missing one Victory card. An unnumbered silver parallel from 02-03. Also the last card I am missing from that season to have all of Turco's cards from that season...

These speak for themselves. I was able to pickup two Bazooka back Turco cards this year. One from ebay and the other from a Facebook find with some help from Norm.

turco 9 by Tim Hykawy, on Flickr
A trio of Supreme Turco's. I will take any copy of these cards I can find.

turco 10 by Tim Hykawy, on Flickr
Last but not least, a nice quad that was on the wantlist.

If you made it this far, thanks for taking a look. Hope everyone had a great Christmas and happy new year.

Awesome pick ups Tim. Love all the Turcos. But that triple with vachon, hextall and fuhr was my fave in the bunch!
Happy 2023!
Cheers!

Wow! Great accumulation of cards!!!

The Bazooka back is super hard to get, but two!!! That is crazy!!
 
Well done Tim ,excellent showing here. That Doughty Team Canada patch is outstanding. Hard to beat that thing.

I will say, those Turco cards are top notch, too. After following your collection for many years now, it's great to see that's it's still going strong and that you are still picking up some rare cards of his in 2022. Keep that passion alive!

All the best with your collections in 2023 :beer:
 
Some amazing pickups for 2022. Love that Doughty 1/1 and of course some awesome new Turco's including your Scripted Swatches that are great. Good luck in 2023!
 
Nice!
Sort of off topic, but do you have the 1998-99 EBK Michigan K-wings set? I know Turco is in it, but just looking for a photo of the Brad Lukowich from it.....
