National Hockey Card Day inspires an overdue show & tell!

[hen44jay]

Well, it’s been a while since posting a show and tell for me. My family and I have been out of the country for almost 3 months getting a very successful treatment for my one year old son’s genetic disorder. We are very thrilled about the new hope it brings into his life, and we can’t wait to finally be heading back home in a week to get back to our normal routine of life again!

Here are a few of my favourite player sets I’ve been working on. Most of these cards I have had for a while, some you might have seen before, showing them now that they’re finally completed or very close. A few I managed to reel in here in the US with my temporary mailing address. It’s nice to save on shipping for some cards that I had been watching while in Canada but just couldn't justify the expensive international global shipping. So here’s what I have worked on recently...



Iginla 2018 UD Team Canada (Only missing the Magenta Printing Plate for the set of 4. It is currently on COMC for a ridiculous price, and I just cant justify buying it for that much, since most Iggy plates sell around the $10 mark. Hopefully I can catch it on a sale one day...)

Both the exclusives and high gloss above are jersey numbered

Backlund 13-14 National Treasures

Hamonic 17-18 UD Series 2

Iginla 16-17 OPC Platinum

Both the Red Prism and Blue Cubes are jersey numbered above

Rittich Rookies

Ice Premieres RC is jersey numbered!



Backlund Panini Prime (My version of a “complete” jersey)

Home and Away chest logos

Sleeve numbers from “60” and “11”, the two numbers he’s worn in his career

Canada flag, Alberta flag, and Rbk logo

Nameplate auto

Jersey tag and seam



Iginla 01-02 Private Stock Titanium (jersey colors and patches)

Backlund 17-18 Compendium

Iginla 13-14 National Treasures (still need the base parallels /10 & /5)

Silver /25 is jersey numbered above

05-06 The Cup Iggy/Kipper dual that had been on my wish list for a long time...

And a really cool Jagr card that I searched long and hard for...


As you probably know by now, I love jersey numbered cards and I try and get one every superstar that played for the Flames. This one took me a long time to finally find, but it was worth it!

17-18 OPC Update Black Rainbow 68/100

Thanks for the look!

Beauty Iginlas And those Backlund patches are awesome

 

[gobuffalo2331]

Sweet stuff!

 

[nhlderek]

So much fiery goodness! I didn’t even realize they made color wheel plates. That looks so good! I don’t know which card is my favorite

 

[creasecollector]

Incredible pickups! Hoping you can snag that Iginla plate one day to finish off that Double Rainbow. I've always wanted to complete one of those.

Great Backlund's as well. Those are some hardcore additions!

 

[capsfan30]

Wow, that's one heck of a haul. So glad to hear that the treatment for your son worked! Congrats on that!

 

[Uhtred the Viking]

Great news about Nile, really hope the medical treatment pays big dividends for all of you!

Those Iginla Team Canada & National Treasures groups look awesome, and congrats on pulling in more jersey numbered cards. Really like the Backlund cards too.

 

[Maple Leaf Sports]

Impressive. :beer:

 

[odjickfan]

So many nice cards. Thank you for sharing

 

[HammerHawks]

Great haul! Iggy shield is a beauty. Great news about your son, too!

 

[hen44jay]

Thanks everyone, much appreciated!

Big Save Dave Ice Rookie #33! Air Hump!!!!

 

[CeddieB]

Great show! Glad to hear your son is doing well.

I especially like your Backlund 'Complete Jersey'. The Euro Rittch's are neat too. I've thought about building a Rittch PC, but not many cards to chase yet!

:clap::clap::clap::clap:

Wowzers. SICK display of goods. Love the sheer variety included here. Great stuff!

 

[30ranfordfan]

The Prime stuff is great (almost always is, regardless of player) but I really like the OFS stuff of Rittich. The Czech guys have been making some beauty cards the last few years.

 

[SNobles]

Impressive. :beer:

I couldn't have said it better myself.

So much great stuff in one post. Love the team Canada stuff.

 

[hen44jay]

Haha “Air Hump” is right! Thanks guys!
