So yeah, not a strong bos. Had a really solid box the last time I broke Select. But the boxes are cheap and I really like the look of the set.

Gigure Patch /30 - Kinda pleh. Always liked this guy and I love how he was still able to be solid in his final years. Man, when he shut the Pens out last year he was unreal. His cards don't sell well, but he's in a Leafs jersey which might bump it up, I guess.

Elmer Lach Art Ross Winner GU Skate /9 - I LOVE ITG's vintage cards. Love how vast their checklists are.

Tony Esposito Superlative Goalie Gold 1/1 - 1/1 of Tony Espo. Can't complain about that.

Maple Leafs Superlative Combos 6-Piece Sittler/McDonald/Sundin/Gilmour/Horton/Bower Spring Expo 2010 Gold 1/1 - A Leafs 1/1. Again, can't complain.

Pretty solid box, I'm happy with it. I really dig this product. Makes complete sense that prices on boxes are going up.

Tim Thomas Inspired Masks SSP

These are pretty rare. This is only the second one I've pulled. The cards look great and sell well.

Jack Campbell Number and Auto Black /6

Very tough to pull a Memo + Auto card from this set. They're there, but all are low-numbered. I've only pulled a few. Nice card here.

Ed Giacomin Stick and Auto Black /6

This is a sick card. Never pulled a Stick + Auto from this set (or any of the other BTP sets) so I'm very happy with this one. And finally...............

Barrasso Emblem Silver /3

Serious, what are the odds? The only player I collect anymore, and a card #'d to 3? Consider myself very lucky that the lowest #'d card in the case was a Tommy B. Definitely my best PC pull ever. Man, I was fired up when I pulled this. Made the Pens getting their a$$es kicked by the Flyers a little easier. That, along with some Mass Rising IPL.

Not the best case I've ever seen, but overall I think it was a pretty decent one. Anyway, all cards are for sale except the Barrasso and the Masked Men, as I am doing the set. Will only trade for Barrasso and possible Lemieux. Thanks for the look!
 
Wow...it's a dream for every PC-collector to hitting a ultra-rare card of that player you're collecting, really a beauty for sure!

Never a copy of a Emblem Silver /3 with Barrasso earlier, only seen once with a Number Silver /3 version at Photobucket and the owner was impossible to contact unfortunately.
 
congrats on hitting the Barrasso....it always seems like the odds of pulling a nice PC card for your player collection is impossible.

The Giacomin stick and auto is really nice. I have the Montoya black version and the Patrick Roy Silver Version /3. I pack pulled the Roy two christmases ago from a box that my wife gave me. It was quite the thrill!
 
Appreciate the comments, everyone.

Yes, I was very happy when I pulled it! That's the first one I've seen as well. Do you have the Emblem Gold 1/1?

Yes, I wish there was a way to contact people on Photobucket. Well, maybe there is, I just can't figure it out.

Thanks. Yeah, I can imagine pulling that Roy was quite a thrill! Bet you got some good coin for that.

Heh....actually yes I did won the auction but unfortunately the seller got robbed so everything (I think) he had went gone then...he did e-mailed me at some occasions even 2 years later to ask me about if I seen the card at ebay or at forums now if the robber (or robbers) is trying to selling these cards then.

But sadly enough I never seen the card anymore....but he mailed me about it before I was going to pay for that card so no loss for me but it's still a huge shame because it's a very nice card!

There're also a 02-03 OPC Premier Red /100 (that one with a red foil triangle pointed downside) at Photobucket, that's the ONLY copy I has ever seen and of course the owner never responded to my messages....
I also knows the owner of the ONLY copy of a 00-01 Topps (or OPC) Foil Parallel /100 who ever has surfaced at ebay (never seen the picture of the card itself) by my acknowledge but he refused to selling it even for $40-$50 for 4-5 years ago and never responded me anymore.

He was a huge Barrasso collector then during 2002-2008 sor something so he got a plenty of 1/1's and others nice ones which I don't have.
I als knows the owner of a....nah that's enough now!
I was a kinda of obsessed before and wanted to having everything but not anymore since sep-14 when I changed my direction of collecting.

Sorry for a long post!
 
Nothing can top pulling a big, low numbered card of your player PC guy. Best feeling in the collecting world. Congrats bud. (The Eddie stick/auto is pretty nice as well, much rather pull a vintage guy than a modern guy from a set like that!)

Yeah, I was pretty happy. That made the Pens getting stomped by the Flyers a little less frustrating!
