so i ordered 4 boxes from dacardworld. 3 ud series 2 from 05-06 and 1 ud series 2 from 06-07. my main purpose of buying the 05-06 series 2 was to pull an ovechkin yg, but that didnt happen. i pulled something 100000x better than an ovechkin young gun. i still havent opened the 06-07 series 2 box, but heres the mega mojo i just pulled from my final box of last years series 2.

my first ever 1/1 pull from a pack, and the first ever 1/1 in my posession.

how perfect that it happened to be my good buddy Sidney!

check it out!!!

have any of the other crosby plates been pulled? and what did they sell for?

comments appreciated!
 
An exciting pull for sure, but I'm having trouble figuring this one out!

A guy by the username "bluewhitey" indeed owned a "Magenta" plate as far back as April of 2006. It's definitely not the same card Crosby87 pulled today, but both say "Magenta" on the front. As for the plate color itself? We don't know, because Bluewhitey's only picture is a black and white scan.

For more on it, here's the Beckett thread: http://www.beckett.com/beckettforum/Default.aspx?g=posts&t=1370562
 
There's a press plate tracker that Andy has been maintaining, see the post here:

I checked the 05-06 and it looks like another was pulled but none have sold on e-bay.

EDIT: Should say congrats that's awesome, what a pull, and to a Crosby guy no less!

yea, theres discussion about it over on the beckett boards. either the other plate was mislabeled (could possibly be a black with a magenta label from ud), or there are 2 magentas out there. gonna have to take this one up with UD...
 
Holy smokes that is a nice card....great that it is going to Crosby fan to boot. If I pulled one of those cards it would be someone like Danny Markov. That is a really sweet pull and congrats. jason
 
thanks guys. still dont know what imma do with it. may put it on ebay with an insane reserve just to see how high it gets bid up to, but i may keep it for a few years. very tough decision...

Bluewhitey is Gary (a local collector) If I see him this weekend at the show, I'll ask him about it. He's in the Armed Forces, so he might be away at sea. I'll make sure I ask him next time I see him...
 
Nice pull. If you want to trade it for an Ovechkin YG, I have one available. In all seriousness though, I have an Ovy YG and if you're interested I wouldn't be looking for a Crosby plate.

He checked in with me via an email and did provide a black-and-white scan of his Crosby plate, but wouldn't actually answer the question as to what color the actual PLATE on his card is. That's the one piece of info we really need, heh. :rolleyes:
