The "Back from Vacation" mailpost

[whalers29]

Had a lot of packages waiting for my when I got back from my vacation, plus a couple more came in yesterday and today. Might as well show it off

As some of you may or may not know, I am attempting to build the Trilogy RC set. I got 40 cards in the last couple of weeks, mainly thanks to many of the GREAT traders on this board (and a couple on that "other" board too, to be fair ). To all who've helped me thus far, a BIG thank you! Here's just a few of my favorites:

05/06 Trilogy RCs Getzlaf, Ward, Howard, Ladd, Suter, Seabrook, Toivonen, Richards, Harrison

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Next, some random cards of players I like:

04/05 Finnish Cardset Valtteri Filppula
05/06 SPGU Valtteri Filppula
05/06 Fleer Hot Prospects Hot Materials Zack Parise (2 clr)
05/06 UD Ice Glacial Graphs Cam Ward
05/06 SPx Jersey/Auto Kyle Quincey /1999

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some Whalers:

01/02 BAP Memorabilia Draft Redemption Jason Bacashihua /46
05/06 Czech OFS Libor Ustrnul
05/06 UD Ice Rainbow Stephen Weiss /100 (Awesome looking card!!)
05/06 The Cup Limited Logo Stephen Weiss /50 (3 clr)

The Ice parallel just might be my favorite Weiss card of the year. The Cup patch is pretty sweet as well, looks even better in person. And the best part is, Weiss' auto is perfect, unlike a lot of the smeared autos in this set.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some Thorburns:

05/06 SP Authentic auto /999
05/06 Fleer Hot Prospects auto /999
05/06 The Cup patch/auto /199 (SWEET!)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some Press Plates from The Cup, that are actually correct :

Rookie Masterpiece Cyan James Wisniewski (BD)
Rookie Masterpiece Magenta Chad LaRose (SP Authentic)
Rookie Masterpiece Magenta James Wisniewski (UD Ultimate)

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

And finally, a card that took WAY too long to get:

01/02 Top Shelf Rookie Action Stephen Weiss /100

VERY glad to knock this one off the list!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

As always, thanks for looking!

Congrats on landing so many, so quickly

Stephanie, nice cards. I saw a couple absolutely sick Weiss cards on the bay and thought of you. Here they be! One is the panther's nose and eye, the other the entire mouth (which I was kinda hoping would end up in your PC!)!

There's also a sweet one of the claws that is yet to end!

Nice pick ups.

That Top shelf Weiss is a top notch pick up.

Thanks

Wow, what a nice haul. I like the pic of Thorburn in that Retro Jersey. I always liked the old Buffalo Sweaters. Thanks for the peek. Mike

Look's great! Good job that Finnish Filppula has arrived.

Thanks for all the comments guys!

Barrie - Yeah, there've been quite a few sweet Weiss patches from The Cup. I was considering the "mouth" patch, but the bidding looked a little suspicious (Shilling?) to me so I backed off. I may go for the claws though
