Two President's Choice Beauties

[BillInDallas]

OK, one of them isn't hockey, but that's ok. I had been eyeing a couple of these cards since the site first opened, but finally decided to pull the trigger. I think part of it is that I know if I buy a couple, I'll easily be tempted to buy more. Upon getting the cards in hand, it will be hard to resist...

I love the artwork on these cards. I will say I'm not a big fan of the printed serial numbering as opposed to stamping, but it's certainly not a deal breaker.

Say what you will about Bonds, but he will be in the HoF at some point and will be the home run king for some time to come. I am a sucker for memorabilia pieces where you can trace it to a relatively specific timeframe, and with this patch we know it's from the 1997 season where Bonds hit 40 HRs.

I'm really looking forward to what else Brian has in store for the PC brand.

Is the Bonds picture a sketch or an actual photograph?

It looks like a photo but in looking at the helmet, it looks like it might be art. The lighting looks just a little different than I'd expect a photo to look. Either way, it's a great looking card.

Two great pieces! Congrats! The quality of the card stock used by President's Choice was top notch on the card I purchased.

That Bonds is SICK. I was considering pulling the trigger, but didn't. What a ridiculous patch!

Two beauties for sure. Congrats on the Bonds patch, and I really like the PuckStoppers set! One day I'll get mine hopefully

"Barry "U.S." Bonds!"

Bonus points if anyone can tell me whose line that is? (no cheating)

Strawberry, Bonds and Griffey were my baseball heroes and Gods growing up! That card is of the charts! DAYUUUUUUM! Great grab my friend!

Sweet cards, Bill! I was eyeing those as well - glad to see someone on HI pull the trigger!

Come on, that's a softball question if there ever was one! Anyone around my age of 41 and spent countless hours watching SC reruns from 6-11 AM instead of going to their college classes would know!

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. I was kinda shocked the Bonds was unsold for as long as it was.

Hahaha! I'm 40, and I know you and I have a lot of similar interests so you're excluded! LOL
