Mike...
Crosby, Ovy and Phaneuf all had game-used jerseys for their Cup rookies, so they SHOULD be GAME-USED as stated on the card. Of course, anything that Upper Deck produces is up for speculation...

Quick correction,... the Phaneuf #/99 is PHOTO SHOOT,... the AO & SC are GU
And I did make a very solid offer for the card. Quincy thinks I am 2.5x+ STUPID then,...
Well - those two brought me back to watching hockey and this hobby. To me, that's priceless and having both their RC GU NHL Logos is really neat. So it's the perfect storm for me,... we'll see what happens.
As for Mark B., he doesn't collect anything that is not #1/1 Shield WITH AN AUTOGRAPH,... the card is just not good enough for him to bid on and thus, is leftover for me.
Quick question for all of you,... I have a AO & SC for my Cup Master set (BGS 9 that was broken out of the case AO and the SC is the one I pulled at the Expo (sentimental value!). And I plan to get it framed when the set is complete with enough nice patches for each of the cards - will be a while. But the Crosby will stay and not be upgraded because of sentimental value and all the witnesses and my first Toronto Expo. And the Ovechkin is as good as they come to me.
However, that leaves me hanging with a BGS 9.5 Crosby and BGS 9.5 Ovechkin #/99 AU RC Patch from the Cup,... what would your trade look like for this Corsby/Ovechkin Dual Shield? Just curious,...
I was doing so well staying away from the boards until this card popped up. I'll be back in a week's time.
BTW, the guy who was selling the Spezza/Heatley Dual Shield,... he counteroffered with $3K,... I politely declined.
