Trevor Linden Team Canada Mega Patch Progress

[bamlinden]

I don't do many show & tell posts but my most recent Linden pickup has me wanting to share some of my progress. It's been a busy year and a hectic last few months of 2017 so a rare day off has me relaxing, watching some hockey and scanning some cards.

2014/15 Upper Deck Premier Mega Patch Team Canada 16/27

I can say with great certainty that these mega patches put out by UD a few years back are some of my favourite cards to chase in a while. I love that Trevor is shown in his Team Canada colours and the massive patches look awesome.

From the moment I saw the first one pop up on eBay I've been hooked. This most recent one is my sixth out of a possible 27 cards made to produce the crest.

Here are some of the other ones I've been fortunate enough to land...

Along with these six cards, I've been keeping track as best I can of the other ones to hit the open market (and in many cases land in other Linden collections). All totalled I have come across 12 of the 27 patches.

So what does one do when he finds this many pieces of the puzzle??? Well you put them on the table and start to assemble them.

Like I said.....absolute faves!!!

Thanks for checking them out.

This is madness (in the best way possible)! :beer:

Awesome patches, and nice job piecing together those other card scans/logo. The best Team Canada crest in my opinion!

These totally belong in your PC. Best of luck tracking down more if you can!

The thing I found the most amazing about this show and tell is that all of the patches noted appear to have been placed in the cards right side up!

They look amazing together - best of luck on continuing the quest.

I love seeing mega patches reassembled, even if you can never own ‘em all hopefully you’re able to at least find scans of all of them to assemble them digitally

Great looking cards for sure. Very cool tracker you've got going, my kind of OCD.
