New Member, Must Send First,
Made a brief stop at the International Centre last night-my poor son had an ear infection so we were only their for one hour.
Thanks very much to the two dealers who gave him a small Mike Modano figure and some SPX singles-greatly appreciated.
Now onto the scans.
Before I leave for the show I always check the mail one last time...just in case.
Just as well I did as our own Ironmanindy sent me two Deep in the Crease cards for my ever growing set.
These I knew about-this one I did not.
This was on my list for the show, which is exactly why I always check the mail before I head out.
Thanks Geoff-you are the best!
Now onto my breaks.
I loved the Pinnacle break. Not a ton of value but its not about the money, its about the cards and my son and I had a ball with this box.
He loves "Shiny" cards and Jerseys and thankfully he opened a couple of the packs that held these:
Seeing he is a Caps fan this made his day.
also pulled Rinks of:
Brendan Morrow
Kris Versteeg (as a Leaf)
Sergei Gonchar
Poor scan but here is our Artist Proof:
Rookies were:
Richard Bachman (Goalie PC)
Dana Tyrell
Bob (Goalie PC)
Jordan Caron
Next up his favourite card from the box and very timely after his Game 7 performance-very tough to scan:
The game used were as follows:
James Van Reimsdyk 466/499 (white swatch)
Jakub Voracek 422/499 (white swatch)
and this one
Kipper Prime 09/25 (Black/white swatch)
Two tough times (no autos)
Wensink
Fotiu
lastly a redemption for a Gaborik Auto-hopefully hard signed!
I love the photograpy in this set and will crack at least another box.
Now onto my Between the Pipes breaks-the first one was done about a week ago from Untouchable Sportscards in Mississauga.
Not scanned.
Masked Men-Silver Tim Thomas (PC)
Deep in the Crease-Florida (PC)
Guarding the Blue/White-Giguere
Retro-Bernie Parent
Autos:
Mike Liut (Indy has it now)
Ramis Sadikov
Jussi Rynnas (PC)
Game Used
Hextall Black (Orange Swatch
and this Beauty.
Hiller Gold /10 more of a patch than a jersey-three different materials and the piping from the Ducks jersey
Then I purchased one at the Expo and am very happy with the results.
Masked Men not Scanned
Emerald:
Niemi
Elliott
Autos:
Frank Pieterangelo (PC)
Semyon Varlamov
Guarding the Blue/White-Broda
Retro-Bill Durnan
Game Used:
Koskinen Silver (two color bulging out of the card)
Bryzgalov Golden Goalies Black /80
Lastly my hit of the day:
Patrick Roy GU Number Black (/6) 3 color from a Habs jersey.
The scan does not do this justice!
And most importantly, my set Killer.
86/87 OPC Kjell Dahlin-card #15. I was moving these sets into new binders and noticed I was missing this card...considering I thought I "completed" this set in 1995 I guess its really taken me an additional 16 years to complete.
Ironically I also need two cards for my 85/86 OPC set and could only find one (241 Doug Lidster) so if anyone has card #235 from the 85/86 OPC set let me know what you need as that will be my 1979/80 to 1989-90 OPC set run complete.
One final card. This arrived several months ago but since I post mail calls about twice a year I thought i'd show it now.
While I am not a fan of Rangers or Manchester United (Hearts and Newcastle for me) I can never pass up a card of a legend that I have never seen before. I believe its a 1968 AB &C Scottish series card-very hard to find.
He may finish up his career as the greatest sports manager EVER.
I will be posting some more football (soccer) pickups on the other sports thread for those interested.
Hope you enjoyed the show.
