One card preview, set is done, waiting on 1 awesome piece

(Leaf Greg, message for you below the pic, if you could be of assistance I'd really appreciate it.)

I have 19 of the 20 in hand, just waiting on the last piece to arrive to do a bigger S&T. I've already finished building a frame for the set & it has quickly become my favorite Game Used Hockey set. :dance:

This is one of the nicer cards I have in hand, did manage to obtain a few more multi-color pieces, most of my solid white pieces have either scuff marks or stitching. The piece that's inbound will be the nicest card in the set, can't wait to show them all, for now here's a very small preview.

I do have one LARGE issue with this release, most of the sets are miss-cut, they are too tall (vertical) or long (horizontal) & don't fit standard Mags. Went thru about 250 mag holders from inventory & sets I already had on the wall to find Mags that will fit. I have 3 more sets that need mag holders & not sure what I'm going to do. If anyone knows a brand of holder that fit these please let me know.

Very nice, loving the yellow piece and all the scuff marks.

Awesome set to collect! If they would have had images of the actual goalies I would have been all over the set as well. Can't wait to see the full set framed!

I love goalie gear, and I love this Jumbo Pad set very much. It's just the coolest thing!

Thanks everyone,

One great thing they did with this set is all of the players are shown the same with just the Jersey Pic's, i do like that better than having them mixed like some of the other sets they do.

I tackled all of the sets I liked/wanted/thought were doable from the release as quick as I could due to the very limited release. I knew player collectors would kill any chance at some of the sets really quick. like I've said before having all the same print runs would be great but even some the same parallel's have different print runs. With sets this limited I wish they would just stop the parallels it's like a money grab to me, it's the same type of relic piece usually just a different color background on the card, some of my higher number pieces have better swatches.

The other set I've finished from the release this week is the Goalie Gear set which is 25 cards all with 6 relic pieces. It along with the Stack the Pads set are going to need special Mag Holders which I'm hoping Leaf Greg can assist with.

sorry to ramble, hope to do the S&T very soon.

later,
