Phew! Finally completed this thread, took a while :laugh:.
Alright, so doing a “Top 10” thing seems to be what the cool kids are doing, so I’ll incorporate that into my thread. I haven’t done a S&T thread since February, so I have a lot of Barrasso stuff to show. He didn’t have a lot of new cards produced this year, which works perfectly fine with me (although Leaf Ultimate had some great stuff – more on that later), since there’s so much I still need. Here are my updated Barrasso PC “stats”:
Total Unique Cards: 760
Total Cards (GU cards with different swatches, etc): 792
Total Unique GU Cards: 211
Total Auto Cards: 77
True 1 of 1 Cards: 27
Total 1 of 1 Cards: 47 (includes Vault, show stamped cards, etc.)
So Barrasso has approximately 1198 cards listed, and 949 non 1/1 cards. Not counting the Vault cards I have, I currently own (these are approximate totals, BTW) 62.18% of his cards and 75.65% of his non 1/1’s. I’d like to get those %’s higher, but I can’t justify spending the kind of money that some of the owners are requesting. Man, I really can’t believe how much his cards sell for. But I’ve obviously contributed to it, and I understand how it is. I just wish it was cheaper. So anyway, here’s the show! I’ve listed my Top 10 at the end of the thread, be sure to check it out as it’s certainly colorful!
1988-89 Penguins Coke Clark. These are rare and tough to find. Other years of these went for HUGE money on eBay.
1990-91 Penguins Foodland
1998-99 Topps Gold Label Class 2 Black
1998-99 Topps Gold Label Class 3. Still many Gold Label cards I need. Seems like they’re rare and sell pretty well.
1999-00 Aurora Premier Date /60. Lot’s of Pacific parallels! Always happy when I can find one.
1999-00 Dynagon Ice Premier Date /63
2001-02 Titanium Hobby Red /94
2001-02 Parkhurst Chicago Sports Fest /10. So many early 00’s show stamped cards out there. I only have a few. There are some on the various sites, but the asking prices are simply to high IMO.
2001-02 Titanium Game Used Jersey. Have a bunch of these and always pick up extras when they’re cheap.
2002-03 Between The Pipes NHL All-Star Game /10
2006-07 Between The Pipes Emblem /10; Number /10. Starting to chip away at this set. Went a couple years without adding any from it. Really like the design and checklist of that set. Wish the boxes weren’t so hit or miss!
2010-11 Between The Pipes GU Number Silver /3. A nice card from my all-time favorite set. Love the design and of course the fact that there are so many Barrasso cards!
2010-11 Between The Pipes Countrymen Quad Silver.
2012-13 Decades 90’s Cup Clashes Quad 2013 Fall Expo 1/1
2013-14 ITGU Decades 90’s Barrasso/Roy/Fuhr Silver. Love the player selection here.
2013-14 Lord Stanley’s Mug Cup Holders Barrasso/Lemieux Gold /10. My two main dudes here, can’t complaint about that. Liked this product a lot, just a shame there doesn’t seem to be much demand for it.
2013-14 ITGU 2014 Fall Expo Team ITG Silver /9. If I wasn’t prone to male pattern baldness, I would certainly try Hextall’s hair/mustache combo, LMAO!!!!
2013-14 National Treasures Timeline /50. Had a couple other swatch colors, but snagged this one too. Only Red/White I’ve seen, and the seam is super thick.
2014-15 ITGU Auto Memorabilia Black Plate Auto 1/1. This goes along with the “rainbow” in my signature. If anyone has the last plate and is willing to deal it, you’d be my best friend!
2014-15 The Cup Enshrinements Proof. Don’t ever buy proofs and rarely oddball cards, but I love the look of the Enshrinement set.
Various ITG Vault cards. Wasn’t the biggest fan of the Vault releases, but I’ve been able to pick up some nice cards at low prices from it.
2015-16 Panini Anthology Paired Pieces Barrasso/Francis /199
2015-16 Superlative Famous Fabrics 4 Silver /20 and a couple Plates
2015-16 Leaf Ultimate Triple Sigs Silver /20. So many of the Ultimate Auto’s I don’t have. They sell very well and I’m not sure if it was a lightly cracked product or not, but I don’t see them pop up on eBay very often.
2015-16 Leaf Ultimate Triple Sigs Gold /3
2015-16 Leaf Ultimate Quad Sigs Silver /12
2015-16 Leaf Ultimate Six Sigs Silver /9. Wide array of goalies here, certainly a very nice card.
2015-16 Leaf Ultimate Triple Sigs Barrasso/Beezer/Crazy Eddie Blue Spectrum /3. Love this selection. Was a fan of both Beezer and Crazy Eddie growing up.
2015-16 UD Black Black Ice Sigs /49. Love the design of this one. Still need the /5 parallel, have only seen one, went for a crazy price on eBay.
2015-16 Ice Glacial Graphs and Glacial Graphs Black /45
2015-16 Upper Deck S1 300 Win Club GU Stick. Nice card I suppose, but these go for dumb money.
2015-16 Trilogy Signature Pucks Primary Logo. Very nice design here, need the two parallels still.
2015-16 Leaf Stickwork Stick Rack 3 Silver /13
2015-16 O-Pee-Chee Red Border
2015-16 Artifacts GU Stick /5. Love this design, getting close to completing the rainbow.
2016 ITGU Countrymen 8x GU Silver /40
Various 2016 ITGU Dual Game Used Memorabilia Barrasso/Hasek. From very nice swatches on those patches, IMO.
2016 Leaf Genesis Franchise Legacy Purple /10. As a Pens fan, I’m very impressed with the crew on this card.
Finally, now the Top 10. Thanks for those of you that actually scrolled all the way through.
10.)
1996-97 Score Golden Blades Winners Punched. You might be thinking this is a strange choice, but these seem to be super rare, especially since the redemption program ended almost 20 years ago. Had never seen one until a generous HI member sold me his. Aren’t many of any player on eBay. Above all else, I like the look of this set.
9.)
2015-16 ITG Ultimate Vault UM 10 Magnificent Ones Barrasso/Lemieux Gold. Not in love with any of the Vaults, but I dig this card. It’s sort of a true 1/1, assuming it was a replacement. Sharp looking, and for whatever reason, just kinda like it.
8.)
2014-15 Ultimate Collection Ultimate Stick /10. Super sharp design, and there aren’t many newer cards featuring Barrasso wearing that specific Pens jersey, which is my favorite. Took me a while to get one of these, Ultimate was lightly broken, and for good reasons.
7.)
2006-07 Between The Pipes Jersey and Auto /10. Like I said earlier, slowly but surely chipping away at this set. All in all, Barrasso doesn’t have many Auto/Mem combo cards, so I’m happy whenever I can grab one. Design on this set is sweet, and they all look great lines up next to each other.
6.)
2015-16 Leaf Metal Pride of a Nation Auto Base /25, Blue /15, Pink /7, Black /5, Cyan Plate, Pre-Production Proof 1/1. Simple, sort of cheesy design, but for whatever reason I like it, and they look good in order. I’d love to be able to complete this rainbow. Any help is appreciated!
5.)
2015-16 Superlative Famous Fabrics 4 Gold Prismatic 1/1 Barrasso/Lemieux/Francis/Jagr. Love the lineup, obviously and can’t turn down a 1/1 that features Barrasso and Lemieux. Super shiny and sharp in person.
4.)
2013-14 National Treasures Sixes Auto Barrasso/Coffey/Francis/Malkin/Letang/GAF. Was outbid several times on this one before I finally got one. Always nice to finally get a card that you’ve had your eye on for a while. Love the design and it’s a very cool, yet varied player selection.
3.)
2016-17 Leaf Ultimate Signature Memorabilia Copper Spectrum /20, Purple Spectrum /5, Silver Spectrum /2, Green Spectrum 1/1. Love that Leaf is using a “new” pic for Barrasso cards. Love the look of Ultimate in general, and I really dig this set. Eventually, I’ll scan the cards out of the one touch, I just wanted to keep it intact with the Leaf seal. But since it seems like everyone else is discarding it, I might as well. Would love to complete this rainbow.
2.)
2016 Leaf Genesis Franchise Legacy Gold 1/1. A 1/1 with Barrasso, Lemieux and Crosby doesn’t get much better for me as a collector as well as a Penguins fan, and those guys being my three main dudes. I remember when Leaf tweeted this card in the preview for this product. Figured it would be super expensive so I probably wouldn’t be able to grab it. Wrong. Can’t believe how cheap this one went.
1.)
2016-17 Leaf Ultimate Signature Memorabilia Prime COMPLETE RAINBOW!! Copper Spectrum /5, Blue Spectrum /4, Purple Spectrum /3, Red Spectrum /2, Green Spectrum /2, Silver Spectrum 1/1, Gold 1/1. Obviously, super excited to complete this rainbow, and I’m sure it’ll look pretty B.A. once I get them in a shadow box. Was able to put this together pretty quick, and only had one issue, which was with the Purple Spectrum. First one that hit eBay went for $111 (seriously). Next one ended the night after and I was able to pick it up for about 1/3 of the price.
Anyway, thanks very much for looking, hope you enjoyed it, as I enjoyed putting the thread together. Comments welcome and encouraged!
