Hey guys, been a minute since I've put up a S&T thread, but I think the recent mail that I've received kind of warrants it.
I'll start off with a bit of the random stuff I've received over the past couple of months
2009/10 Upper Deck Black Carey Price Jersey Auto 23/25
2010/11 Crown Royal Heirs to the Throne John Tavares Jsy Auto
2008/09 SP Authentic Drew Doughty Future Watch Auto 654/999
2008/09 SP Authentic Claude Giroux Future Watch Auto 718/999
After picking up those last 2, and then with the Stamkos FWA that I already have I've been putting in some serious thought to putting that FWA set together
And now we move onto the PC Stuff. I had the pleasure of dealing with two stand up guys when making the deals for these 2 cards, Nathan7070 and CrazyOilerFan, thanks to those 2 for smooth and easy transactions. Without further ado my 2 Stamkos additions
2011/12 SP Authentic Steven Stamkos Dual SOTT TB/Can
and finally, another Stamkos Rookie Auto is crossed off the list.
He's a little beat up, but after talking with a couple of other friends and various collectors, I've been told that this wasn't uncommon for this set, much like SPx some cards were damaged during production/packaging
Moving right along, there's been alot of people I've talked to that have been waiting on redemptions for Martin Brodeur Autos from the 11/12 sets. I myself was one of those people, I had been waiting around 7 months for a SPA SOTT Triple Brodeur/Roy/Giguere to come in and low and behold, nothing. 2 weeks ago I finally said enough is enough and sent UD my list of players that I would accept as compensation and today my replacement showed up.
I opened up the fedex envelope, tore open the padded envelope inside and pulled out.........this
2009/10 SP Authentic Joe Thornton/Jonathan Toews Prestigious Pairings 37/100
Needless to say, I was mad, as I thought this was all that they had sent as compensation. I was ready to start breaking things, and was almost to the phone to call customer care to tear them a new one, but something made me stop. I calmed myself and went back to the envelope shook it a little bit and thank the hockey gods there was something else inside. I reached in, hands shaking with anticipation and pulled out........
...........wait for it
............sorry for the dramatic effect, but I'm quite the happy camper right now
.............this
2010/11 SP Authentic Sidney Crosby Limited Auto Patch 43/100
I honestly wasn't expecting anything like this. My hands were shaking when I pulled it out of the envelope and finally realized what I was holding in my hands.
I've always thought that I'd have to pay out the backend for a Crosby patch, let alone a patch auto, therefore I figured something like this would be out of my range as a collector.
I have to say a big thank you to Upper Deck for this one.
Thanks for taking the time to look guys, and comments are always welcome
