It's been a month and a half since my last Gilbert Perreault mailday showcase. Figured I'd show a few off, as well as some that have been in my collection for a while.
Pair of Enshrinement autos from 2013-14 The Cup:
The solo Perreault is numbered 14/60; the Barber and Perreault numbered 18/25. Bill and Gil were both inducted into the HHOF in 1990.
2002-03 UD Foundations Signs of Greatness:
While this card isn't nearly rare enough to be anything close to a speared white whale, it is a short print and it is one I've been after for years and years. This was one of those cards that would only get posted during one of my low activity periods or would sell before I had a chance to ever see the listing at all. Super thrilled to have Perreault's auto from a set, which is one I have very fond feelings for.
Couple of SP Authentic Autos:
First one is an 05/06 SPA Prestigious Pairings of Perreault and Vanek, numbered 67/100. Second is an 04/05 SPA Sign of the Times that had somehow never made it into my collection previously. I absolutely love the design of both of these cards, especially the 04/05 SOTT - what a great year for that staple set.
2008-09 UD Black Dual Marks of Obsidian:
Another dual signature, this one numbered 09/25 and featuring The Chief. UD really liked pairing these two up on autographs.
2016-17 UD Trilogy Tryptich:
Fun card, numbered 45/80. This is one of the last autos he has signed for Upper Deck. Really wish they could have snagged him for Chronology!
Now, time for a pair of cards that have been in my collection for years that I just want an excuse to share.
2002-03 UD Piece of History Marks of Distinction:
The origin of the staple Marks of Distinction autograph set! This one of Perreault is numbered 14/25. I do wish they had managed to produce a hard signed version for Perreault instead of going with their papercut precursor to the sticker auto, but it's an incredibly limited and sweet card nonetheless. Piece of History was also an example of the abundance of fun low-to-mid priced products UD offered in the early 2000s.
2009-10 ITG 1972 The Year in Hockey Number & Auto Gold:
I couldn't let Upper Deck have all of the spotlight. This product by ITG was just a pure love letter to the sport of hockey. I've had this one in my collection for quite a while, but it somehow escaped me until last year that the gold version is a stated 1/1. Awesome portrait of Perreault, his brilliant hard signed signature, a beautiful patch, and the most limited of numbering = *chef's kiss*
Alright, alright, alright, time for one more new card. This one showed up in the mail just today.
What's better than one HOF autograph?
What's better than two HOF autographs on one card?
How about three HOF autographs on one card?
2015-16 Team Canada Master Collection Signature 3:
My poor photography is unable to do this card justice and this beauty may be the thing that finally pushes me to get a proper scanner for my cards. I never really had this card on my radar, because I never honestly expected one to A) show up at auction, and B) be affordable.
This is Perreault's only card in the Canada Master Collection set. Hard signed by three HOFers with gold ink that pops. Numbered 15/15. Huge addition to my Perreault autograph collection.
Anyway, thanks for viewing everyone!
