Verified Trader,
Well, it's that time of year again where I have a whole load of new cards of guys the Avs picked up as Free Agents. Been about two months since most of these guys were signed now, and I've made pretty good progress on the ones I think are gonna make the team. This might not be the most exciting Show-n-Tell ever, but I'm hoping a couple people read it and realize they have cards I still need. :laugh:
Thomas Pock - 2003-04
A veteran pick-up for the Lake Erie minors team most likely. Maybe he'll get a shot though.
Upper Deck Premier /399
Parkhurst Rookie /500
These two came from Mike (mguiseffi1969). Imagine that, Mike with Rangers RCs. Pock should end up in Lake Erie, but happy to grab these now just in case.
And since the Pock portfolio is quite small, here's what I still need.
Wantlist
BAP Memorabilia #238 (pending - Shawn)
Upper Deck Rookie Update /199 #186
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Greg Zanon - 2005-06
Don't know a lot about this guy, but excited to see what he can do.
Hot Prospects /1999
Hot Prospects Red Hot /100
A couple of the boring non-patch, non-auto RCs from the set, but still glad to add them.
SPx /999
Rookie Update /1999
Upper Deck Ice /2999
A few nice RCs from a year where there were many thanks to the lockout. Remember how huge the update set was? Fingers crossed that it doesn't happen again...
And again, his wantlist is pretty short, here's what I still need:
Wantlist
Artifacts /750 #293
Hot Prospects White Hot /10 #147
Hot Prospects En Fuego 1/1 #147
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bill Thomas - 2006-07
Another guy probably destined for Lake Erie. Wouldn't have normally picked up this many until he made the team, but these are all from two deals.
Ultra
Upper Deck YG
Upper Deck MVP
Just a few base RCs to start, the Upper Deck being the only card I had of him before they signed him.
Artifacts /999
Artifacts Silver /100
Artifacts Gold /50
The two parallels (and an extra Gold) came in an awesome trade with Dave (drearick). He contacted me, basically offering them for whatever Pens RCs I could throw together. Thanks Dave!
Fleer Tiffany
Hot Prospects /1999
Hot Prospects Red Hot /100
Two more parallels from Dave, along with the base Hot Prospects. Those two look too alike in my opinion.
O-Pee-Chee
O-Pee-Chee Rainbow /100
SP Authentic Limited /100
The OPC /100 is the only parallel not from Dave, and the only reason I have all the base RCs already. It came in a lot on eBay for a decent price, especially considering how tough the rainbows can be to find.
UD Victory
UD Victory Gold
SPx Spectrum /25
Two more parallels from Dave, and a couple of the most appreciated. I always have a soft spot for Victory, and anything limited to 25 is awesome.
Still need quite a few, so let me know if you can help. Since he might not end up on the team, looking to trade instead of buy, unless it's a nice rare parallel.

Pierre (P.A.) Parenteau - 2007-08
Obviously the big FA splash for Avs this year, we'll see how he can do with the Avs youngins instead of Tavares. I'm excited.
UD Victory
Upper Deck Ice /1999
Artifacts /999
Ice came from Shawn (DCUnited96), along with a nicer card in the next scan.
Artifacts Silver /100
Artifacts Gold /50
Artifacts Blue /25
All three of these came via HI. The Gold is a funny story, since I bought it in a lot a couple years back. Gave it to Shawn, and when he signed with the Avs, Shawn gave it back. The other two are via Rich (rvelligan). Thanks guys!
O-Pee-Chee
O-Pee-Chee Micromotion
O-Pee-Chee Micromotion Black /100
Another all HI purchase, even though it was from eBay. These came in a lot from Mike (Mguiseffi1969). Both parallels can be a little tough to track down at times, so happy to land them early.
Upper Deck MVP
Upper Deck MVP Gold Script /100
Upper Deck MVP Super Script /25
And another rainbow to bring him to a close. Super Script came with the two Artifacts parallels from Rich (which I think were also owned by another HI'er before that. Where would I be on P.A. without you guys? Here's what's left.
Wantlist
Artifacts Bronze /10 #143
Artifacts Silver Rainbow 1/1 #143
UD Victory Gold #243
UD Victory Black #243
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John Mitchell - 2008-09
Again, don't know a lot about this guy. I was hoping to find more of his cards since there's a couple (hundred) people from the Toronto area on here. Anybody?
UD Powerplay
Upper Deck Champs
Upper Deck Champs Mini
Three cheapies to start.
SPx /499
UD Trilogy /999
Upper Deck Ice /999
A few more base RCs that were landed on COMC.
SP Authentic /999
SP Game Used /999
SP Game Used Gold /100
Still need the SPA Limited and the rarer SPGU parallels.
Upper Deck YG
Upper Deck YG Exclusives /100
Pretty obvious what's missing from this line. Would love to find a HG.
Upper Deck MVP
Upper Deck MVP Gold Script /100
Again, the Super Script would fill up this row pretty nicely...
O-Pee-Chee Retro
O-Pee-Chee Metal
O-Pee-Chee Metal X
Love the 79-80 Retros, and the Metal X even more. Probably one of my favorite parallel sets ever, and cards can be hard to find considering they were 9 a box or something. I guess an 800 card set can do that though.
O-Pee-Chee Gold
Be A Player /99
The Cup /199
The three toughest ones I've found to finish. Bought the Gold (rare, since it's from update) from Shawn (DJSports), the BAP was a gift from Kevin (kmitchel) and the Cup a recent add from eBay. Here's what's left for you GTA guys to track down:
Wantlist
Be A Player Player's Club /10 #278

Gabe Gauthier - 2007-08 (Eagles)
Nope, this guy didn't sign with the Avs, but he did sign with the Eagles (the Jets new ECHL affiliate). If there is a lock-out (and possibly if there isn't) I'll be going to a lot more of these games. The arena is on the way home from work now that I'm up in Fort Collins anyway.
SP Game Used /999
Upper Deck Ice /1999
Two cheap RCs from COMC to start.
Artifacts /999
Artifacts Silver /100
Artifacts Gold /50
A nice start to the Artifacts stuff next. The Blue and Bronze are on eBay too, but more than I wanna pay.
O-Pee-Chee
O-Pee-Chee Micromotion
O-Pee-Chee Micromotion Black /100
Another 07-08 OPC rainbow to go along with Parenteau. I think less that $5 in it all told too.
Ultra
Ultra Gold Medallion
Ultra Ice Medallion /100
Gotta love another rainbow, even if the Ice is only /100 instead of /25 like some years.

Artifacts Blue /25 #176

And since I'm doing the Eagles minor league wants, I might as well go after a couple of the players for the new Denver Cutthroats team. Already have all the MacKenzie stuff in my Avs collection, but I'll grab extras for this collection if I can find them cheap.
Derek Armstrong - 1994-95 (Cutthroats Coach)
Leaf #51 (on the way)
Brad Smyth - 1996-97 (Cutthroats)
