Finally decided to get a scanner with the intentions of starting a collection page for my Roy PC. Sharing possibly the biggest card in my collection:

Appreciate to follow this thread. Great to see the Mirror Platinum. Understand it's one of your best cards. When did you acquire it and do you remember what you paid?

Thanks for the compliments. I bought a somewhat large Roy collection back in April that it was a part of, so I don't have an individual cost associated with this card. It had quite a few high-end 90's cards in it.

Love that SPx Spectrum 1/1. A beautiful standalone 1/1 paralleled card gets me everytime.

Simple, but so awesome.

Alright. Great find!

Just curious if you mainly prefer his Montreal or Colorado cards, or if the uniform doesn't matter at all? I must say I really have a good eye to mainly his Montreal cards. Patrick Roy pictured in a Montreal uniform could make almost every card look sharp!

Wow that SPx Spectrum 1/1 is a thing of beauty. I am sure the scan doesn't do it justice either.

I'm partial to the Colorado cards, mainly because it was later in his career and the card technology was superior. I also didn't get into collection hockey until around 1997, so I never really had a connection to the Montreal cards, having never pulled any from new packs.
