The Elvis Merzlikins Collection

[Modojr]

I quietly started a new PC over the last few months. Current backstop for the Blue Jackets, Elvis Merzlikins. I've shown a few cards before but here is everything I have as of right now. Just limited to RCs and autos for the time being. I'll probably move to base/parallels/inserts at a later date.

First some RCs

19-20 UD Ice /499

19-20 Upper Deck Young Guns

19-20 Upper Deck Young Guns PSA 9

19-20 Upper Deck Young Guns BGS 9.5

Next up autos:

19-20 SPA FW /999

Thank your for looking and commenting. I've really enjoyed starting a new active player PC while still chasing Klesla and Modano cards. Thanks again.

Thank you. There is a certain allure about goalies and the cards available.

Had a few new cards come in and wanted to share:


19-20 Upper Deck Young Guns Canvas

19-20 UD Stature Rookie Reliance auto green /49

My first auto/patch to add to the collection

22-23 UD SP Authentic auto/patch /100

And my first ever, of any player, RPA cards. I really like the Engrained cards, nice design and hard signed autos. Of course, The Cup, another great looking, hard signed auto.

19-20 UD Engrained Ebony RPA /65

19-20 The Cup RPA /249

I have a few more autos on the way but really wanted to share these pickups before they arrived. I'm having a lot of fun with my new player PC. Thank you for looking.

Sweet Merzy's!

 

[Avalanchefan21]

great stuff, wish theyd bring back the engrained set!~

I think he needs a fresh start with a different team tbh (not us plz)

Thank you. I doing this PC a little different, just autos and RCs and I find I'm enjoying that a lot more than going after every card. Its a nice change.

I agree with you. I think he would benefit from a change.

A few pieces came in, including another patch/auto. I am thankful for his high jersey number to allow me to pick up the Honorable Numbers card at a very reasonable price. Thank you for looking.

Elvis is one of my favorite goalie in NHL, so thanks for sharing this beauties, great collection

 

[Modojr]

Several more cards arrived. Picked up what is probably my favorite RC and another Cup RPA.

19-20 UD Ultimate Collection Rookie Accents /99

19-20 UD Ultimate Collection /299

22-23 UD SPA SOTT

19-20 UD Ultimate Collection Ultimate Introductions

19-20 The Cup RPA /249

19-20 SPGU

19-20 UD Black Diamond /99

This brings me to 23 unique auto cards with a couple more on the way. The BD is definitely my favorite RC but I don't think I'm going to chase multiple copies like I do for my Klesla Topps Heritage RCs. Picking up a second Cup RPA is pretty nice too. Thank you for looking and commenting.

Some sweet cards in there. The SOTT is so nice with those Jersey's!

Thank you. The jersey trips me out sometimes because it reminds me of the late 90s Kings black and purple and I'm like "He doesn't play for them". I really love how his pad design is in full view here.

I've slowed down a bit going after this PC, because I started a little football project that's taking up more of my time. However, I have picked up a few additions that I would like to share.

19-20 Allure RC

20-21 Artifacts rookie signatures

19-20 Engrained auto, a second copy

22-23 SP Authentic SOTT black /99

22-23 SPx super scripts /25

19-20 The Cup RPA /249, my third copy

19-20 SP Authentic Future Watch RPA /100

I do like picking up Cup RPAs when possible, and finally getting a SP FW RPA was really nice. Thank you for looking.

 

[Modojr]

Back with another Elvis update. Not too many cards but some real nice, solid pickups for me over the last few weeks. I really like the Engrained autos so I will pick up extras of those. Now all I need to do is actually organize my Merzlikins collection and make a list of what I need. Thank you for looking.

Geeez, with cards like that, Elvis may consider entering the building. Amazing stuff!

 

[creasecollector]

Big adds lately! Love the FWAP, too!

 

[Modojr]

Thank you for all the comments. I haven't compiled a wantlist because its a lot easier to maintain when just going after autos and RCs. I've enjoyed this collecting route so I'm not going to be picking up parallels, non auto'd mem, or later year cards.

2024 closed out with some solid pickups for the Merzlikins PC. Picked up a second copy of his Black Diamond RC and a fourth copy of his Cup RPA. I have one more on the way but I wanted to share now rather than wait.

19-20 UD Black Diamond RC /99

21-22 Black Diamond Sparkling Scripts

20-21 UD Stature auto

22-23 UD SPx super scripts auto

19-20 UD Ultimate Collection RPA /99

19-20 UD The Cup RPA /249

Nice end to the year, I do enjoy going for Cup cards but I'm not overpaying for them. Getting another BD was nice too, it really is my favorite RC of his. I'm a big fan of the Stature cards, really nice hard signed autos and beautiful colors. Thank you for looking. Looking forward to 2025

 

[Redwingsfan11]

Tremendous Merzlikins stuff! Two great patch pieces as well on the Cup and Ultimate!
