Set Completion - 7/23/11-->12/7/12

17 months later I finally finished this!!! I have been sitting at 53/54 since august and 49/50 since april (UD released 4 more cards toward this set in their 11-12 release).... This final card i have been looking fro since the beginning... I have searched for it at 3 consecutive Toronto Expo's and come up dry... 3 weeks ago however someone from here found out that their friend had one of these and was open to moving it... He put us in contact and we struck a deal... He lives 2 hours away, but said that he was visiting Toronto for a wedding and that he would bring it with him... I met him outside of his hotel and picked up this beauty!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Syzygy!!!

This all started because I wanted to pick up an auto of all my favorite players and keep them in my PC... As most of you know I collect almost exclusively Sakic stuff and I thought it would be nice to have a hard signed auto of all the top guys.... then I came across this set and almost everyone I could have hoped for was in it....


Thank you to everyone who helped me with this set... I wish i could remember how i acquired all of them, I am sure you know who you are.... 17 months, 53 cards, $2018.17 later, here is the finished product (pending the release of UD Ultimate 12/13)!!!!
