The LEAFS are finally coming together!

I have always found that Black Diamond puts out at least one very nice sub set that will intrigue to go after. Two years ago it was the autographed version of Retired Numbers. Beautiful set and even more enlightening when I had it framed. Last year it was the Team Logo Rookie Jumbos where I decided to go after NYLANDER. Not as easy to put together as I had first imagined, but last week after a year looking for the final piece, I was able to complete the puzzle. In discussion with my wife about how it should be arranged in the frame, we decided it would be a nice touch to add the autographed Team Logo Jumbo Rookies of Nylander. Those cards are numbered to 25 and had been selling for about $125 or higher. With time running out I picked up a copy this weekend so that the project could move to the next phase, which is framing.

Here is a scan of the cards (minus the autograph which is enroute)

I hope to post a picture of the completed project before the show this Spring

I really like manufactured logo/letter/number cards if done right.

These are one of those moments.

The fact that collectors can piece together a nice logo like this is pretty darn cool I think. Looks fantastic to boot. Congrats on a job well done!
