My version of a "buy back" (an actual 08/20 card I owned in year 2003)

Hello forum friends. It's been a while since I have dedicated some S&T time to my pride&joy, 2002-03 Parkie Retro by In The Game. From COMC, I recently received five new cards that I requested shipment on several months ago. So those are in here. From various purchases, I'm going to go back and show off my last 40 or singles from eBay (basically stuff I bought in 2021).

And then, the card that inspired the subject line: I re-acquired the serial #08/20 version of this PATRICK ROY that was part of the entire set of HSHS prizes I owned back in 2003, all with 08/20. Sadly, I sold them a couple years later, but I since bought a complete set of the 10/20 serials from a Texas seller, so that eased some of that pain. But yes, I can't believe I owned this physical Roy 18 years ago, and now it has come home! I now own three copies of this card serials: 08/20, 10/20, and 04/20.

This is the newest Roy. 08/20 and 10/20 have same swatch.

This show&tell puts me at 761 unique physical cards in hand, and #762 and #763 en route from Europe. So here's my 2021 year-to-date in Parkie Retros.
