Been a while since posting some acquisitions. It's a good mix of vintage, graded PSA/BGS, rookie year items and a rookie auto shield. :beer:

13-14 The Cup Nathan MacKinnon Scripted Swatches 4clr #17/35
Another for the MacKinnon PC. I was never a huge fan of the Scripted Swatches inserts, but a 4clr patch with a nice auto is a very tough find. Happy to have this part of the PC.
13-14 The Cup Nathan MacKinnon Limited Logos #9/50
Cool to have a great 4clr "foot" patch with a perfect auto. Not many of MacK's autos are contained only on the white autographed background area,... (yes, I know OCD is strong with me).
13-14 The Cup Nathan MacKinnon Honorable Numbers #29/29
Very happy acquiring this for the PC! Jersey number and the patches have great eye appeal.
17-18 The Cup Brock BOESER Foundations Auto Patch #4/5.
I love these cards. Finally found a Boeser with a great auto and eye appeal card. Haven't seen too many interesting patches for his Cup ARP, pleased to pick this up and follow how he fares with Pettersson. Nice to be excited about the home team.
07-08 The Cup Patrick KANE Auto Rookie Patch Gold #47/88
I have a love/hate relationship with this 07-08 Cup ARP. Love the design, but the condition of these cards were overall pretty poor compared to other Cup years. However, I managed to find a decent copy of P. Kane. Always find him one of my favorite players to watch. Nice to have this beside the regular Cup ARP.
06-07 The Cup Evgeni MALKIN Foundations Auto Patch #1/5
I am SO happy to fine a copy of one of these cards again. I thought after I let my last one go, I wasn't going to ever find another one. This was the first year they did the Foundations insert for Cup and the eye appeal of 4 patches with hard-signed auto and low #'d made it one of my favorite insert sets. I smile every time I look at this card. It is gorgeous. Still one of the most underrated players in the NHL living in Crosby's shadow.
89-90 OPC Joe Sakic RC BGS 10
Burnaby Joe was another one of my favorite players growing up. Pleased to acquire a high grade RC for the PC. Brought back nostalgia for me as I remember picking up kid's unwanted cards after playing flicksies against the window during recess during this year. Parents would never buy cards as it was just a waste of money no matter what I did right. That certainly fueled my fire for this hobby during my adult years.
91-92 Upper Deck Teemu SELANNE RC BGS 10
I miss the Bure and Selanne years,... I think following and watching Selanne vs. Mogilny for the scoring title in his rookie year always had me on the edge of my seat. Selanne is probably my most favorite player of all time. So, pleased to grab a high grade RC for the PC.
15-16 The Cup Connor McDAVID Limited Logos 3clr #8/50
I am really excited for this card!!! Game-used rookie year with a big oil drop and a hard-signed auto. I'm going to break this out of the Beckett slab when I have some time. I looked like this guy getting the card: :bliss:
Now for the natural Top 3. It's all the same card:

15-16 Exquisite Collection Connor McDAVID Auto Rookie Patch #12/97 PSA 9.5
This was a Xmas gift from my best friend in the hobby when this product first came out, so it's more sentimental to me. I like this patch, but thought this card was super clean condition-wise. This is my first BGS submission and I guess I am happy with the subgrades. It'll join the other two copies nicely in the PC.
15-16 Exquisite Collection Connor McDAVID Auto Rookie Patch #50/97 BGS 9.5
I never got excited about the Cup ARP. However, I remember seeing the sell sheet for 15-16 Cup and seeing how beautiful this card was. It became a "must have" in the PC for me. This is one of the best patches in the print run with a nice grade.
15-16 Exquisite Collection Connor McDAVID Auto Rookie Patch #67/97 PSA 10
This was a first for me. Never won an eBay auction for $1 more than the next highest bidder. Had to do a triple-take to make sure I won it. Love the patch on this one and wanted to have a PSA 10 copy of this card with a great, but different patch than others I had. Very happy with this copy.

Going to give #1 spot to the leading points person in the NHL:
15-16 Ultimate Collection Mikko RANTANEN Autographed Shield Patch #1/1
Big Mac's new best friend. This guy is coming out of his shell in a huge way. Deserving of the #1 position consistent with his efforts for the Art Ross this year. Very pleased to have secured this card and it'll go perfectly beside the Big Mac Ultimate Auto Shield Patch #1/1. The Colorado games have been even more fun to watch this year.
Thanks for the look. Until next time I make some time for more cards! Hope everyone has a happy Holiday Season. :beer:
