Verified Trader,
Happy Friday, gang! Well, to all of you Monday-Friday normal folk, anyway! 
Just 3 packages in this week, and for the 3rd week in a row...all for the PC! :beer:
First up, for a couple of my non-hockey mini player collections. These came via a very nice trade with a hobbyist from the Philippines...
03/04 Fleer Authentix All-Star Tayshaun Prince jsy/auto #22/50 (jsy #)
Note to Fleer/UD...back in my basketball wax-ripping days, this was always one of my favorite rips...would be a GREAT addition/substitute to the hockey lineup, in my opinion!
04/05 SP Game Used Rookie Exclusives Ben Gordon auto /100
Really admired the kid's play as a Husky...even liked watching him play as a division rival Bull...but REALLY looking forward to seeing his contribution this season as a Piston!! :beer:
Ok, on to the icy pickups!
A nice bunch of goodies from Greg (greg_f_2), including the 3rd Star for the week! Thanks again, Greg for the smooth trade! :beer:...
05/06 SPA Future Watch Valtteri Filppula auto RC /999 x2
05/06 SPx Rookie Jersey Valtteri Filppula 2clr jsy/auto RC /1999
07/08 ITG Ultimate Fall Expo Redemption Alex Delvecchio 2clr jsy /4
I usually do not trade for Expo/National-exclusive pieces, mainly because I've never been a fan of the stamping typically found on the front of the cards (plus they can be difficult to price), but in this case, the logo is on the back of the card, so what the hay.
Ok, on to the 3 Stars of the week...
#3 (again, from Greg)
02/03 ITG-Used Henrik Zetterberg RC /100
Only took me 7+ years to get one of those buggers into my collection! :dizzy:
#2 (via ebay)
99/00 SPA Sign of the Times Gold Gordie Howe auto /25
That one would have been the 1st Star on a normal day, but it's actually a double that I picked up in the hopes that I might be able to use it down the line towards one of the few other Wings SOTT autos that I still need...which until last week, included this bugger...
#1 (also via ebay)
02/03 SPA Sign of the Times Gordie Howe/Steve Yzerman auto /99
Very happy to finally get that sucker tucked away into the Wings SOTT box! :beer: With this, the hit list is finally down to just a few...
-98/99 Gold Tomas Holmstrom /96
-01/02 Gordie Howe
-01/02 Steve Yzerman
-03/04 Gordie Howe (trade pending)
-08/09 Gordie Howe/Henrik Zetterberg (one ending on the 'bay tonight...wish me luck)
That's all for now...thanks for droppin' by!
