Nearly 3 Years in the Making: Mission Accomplished

[canucksfreak19]

Well it is complete. I have managed to complete the 2010-2011 Crown Royale Scratching The Surface Autograph set. One of a possible 10 complete sets. This is the first time I have ever attempted to put together an autograph set. I am glad that I chased this set. It was a lot of fun; and at times very frustrating.

I think this is a great looking set. Thank you to Panini for a great concept and extremely well executed set.

Thank you to those that have helped me out along the way with the building of this set.

The final three that I was waiting on: Jamie Benn, Martin Brodeur, and Ryan Callahan.

Card 98: Grabbed this one off of eBay - Ryan Callahan


Card 99: Picked this one up from Moe (West's) at the "The Card Show" here in Calgary - Jamie Benn


And last, but certainly not least card 100. I found this one with a best offer on eBay and after an offer and counteroffer, then another counteroffer from me the sale was consummated. This bad boy arrived today - Martin Brodeur


And now the completed set, all together.



























Thanks for the look, comments are always appreciated.

Merry Christmas.

That is a good question Al. I will have to look at the upcoming, recently released products and maybe pick something out. Mybe I'll go for a jersey set next . . . :beer:.
