The quest is over: a complete 02-03 UD Mask Collection Patches set!!

[lukko]

I finally did it! Today I received the last patch to complete my set . Since there only exist 12 copies of the Blackburn patch (lowest print), I got now 1 of only 12 possible complete patch sets!!!

And what a beauty this Turco patch is!!!

I still cannot believe I did it! It all started with the Chechmanek 22/24 I bought on eBay about a year ago. I figured that with a BIN-price of $16.99 I could not go wrong. At first I focused on just the goalies, but then I did see the "light"! And now I got all 42 patches!!

Anyways, I would like to thank all the HI-members who helped me out!! Some of you provided me with patches, others kept an eye out on shows for the missing patches (the $250 also helped ). Once again, A BIG THANKS!!!!

Regards, Patrick

Comments appreciated!!

P.S. I still need the following two cards to complete this set:
Wantlist 2000-01 TITANIUM GAME GEAR STICKS
#2 Martin Gelinas (xxx/255)
#28 Trevor Linden (xxx/247)

Congratulations on finishing off the very difficult set. I think we would all love to see a collage of the cards together. Congratulations again.

Thanks for all the great comments! Like I told Dave (Chip*Dad) on Beckett's Board, I'm actually waiting for an upgrade of the Thibault patch. I expect it next week. As soon as I have the card in my posession, I'll start scanning and put it in a thread!!

MonoXiDe - I will get back to you later this weekend.

thornton19 - For the Dunham patch I posted the other day, I had to pay big $$$. I managed to get the Tirco patch in a trade. There's a new 02-03 UD Mask Collection Patches collector out there . One of the 4 patches he had was in fact the Turco. Since I was down to just the Turco, he was kind enough to give up his card. He did get 3 other patches in return though. But nevertheless, he helped out tremendously!!!
