The beginning of a tough 13-14 BTP project...PROGRESS!

Hey everyone,

Bit of a back story here. I actually quit collecting for a couple of years. Bought a house and such and money wasn't so easy to spend on things I didn't require to live. As I get back to a position where I have a little disposable income, I find myself missing the hobby. I miss the search, opening packs, the feeling of finishing a project and the interaction with fellow collectors.

So as a goalie I am naturally drawn to Between the Pipes. With the news of Leaf not planning on a new release this year I decided 13-14 BTP was a great product to jump back in to the hobby. The ultimate (and unrealistic) goal is a master set...but for now I have to focus on a few subsets at a time. So I grab a box and I say "self, whatever your best pull is in this box, let's try and collect that set first". Was I ever surprised when that pull was a Roy Worters Vintage Jersey /4. Well a promise is a promise! So I pulled the Worters and picked up 2 others. This is where I'm at so far!



Anyone that can help, I would love to hear from you. I know there are a couple on ebay, but they are all more than double what I have paid for the other two and with the Canadian dollar tanking...well it doesn't help matters.

Hope you enjoy and glad to be back!

Hello,

Congrats on a great pull. I'm an avid vintage game-used collector myself. I've been trying to grab all the Between The Pipes vintage patches from the past several releases. This year was particularly difficult, as they pretty much chopped the print runs in half. So the patches were /2. Might as well have made them 1/1's. I've only seen a couple surface on EBay. Plus the ones that I've acquired privately (see below)





I think I also have a Sawchuk patch /2 as well. Don't honestly remember. I need to go through all my stuff. But it rings a bell. I'll have to see if I have any of the vintage jerseys from this set, and I'll get back to you. Thanks again for taking the time to share.

Cheers,
Eli:beer:
 
Finally knocked one off the list! 4 down, 8 to go!



Also, considering doing a thread to track my entire 13-14 BTP Master Set progress. If that's something you guys and gals would care to see let me know and I'll get it started. I don't want to clutter the S&T thread with stuff nobody wants though...

Thanks for the look guys!
 
I'd love to see a set project thread (similar to what Dave has for his 06-07 BTP quest and I'm doing for my 04-05 franchises project).

I'm a huge fan of the BTP release (RIP BTP!) - I've completed a lot of sets from it over the years. And it's funny you pulled a Worters vintage jersey - I pulled one from a 11-12 box and the love of that card made me eventually try to track down the cards. I completed the jerseys (with 2 golds mixed in), but still hunting a few patches.

Scans are here if you care to check anything out. Best of luck with your set progress!

Also - there was a Sawchuk patch on ebay not that long ago - I don't recall if it sold or not, though.
