Time to catch up on some Varlamov mail!
Start it off with some 09 Cup plates that have come in. I’m not sure which I have shown and which I haven’t, so I will just show them all. My goal is to have at least one from every set of 4 that were produced, and I have done it, with the exception of the plates from his Cup rookie card. I have yet to see a single one pop up.
Artifacts, Ice, OPC, SPA
Champs Cyan, Magenta & Yellow
Ultimate Black, Magenta & Yellow
Onto the current year – a couple of the lower numbered parallels from Artifacts Silver Spectrum /25, and Gold Spectrum /10
A couple of oddballs: Topps Puck Attax and Panini Stickers
O-Pee-Chee Signatures – right side up! & Black Diamond Gold /10
UD Series 1 Netminders & HG /10
Now onto the stars of the show. I haven’t been as excited as I was for this year’s ITG Ultimate Memorabilia since the first year it was released, when it was loaded with Kolzig cards. This year featured 20 Varlamov cards, including 8 1/1s, and Olie even managed to make an appearance! Despite Varly showing up on the 09 The Cup Cup Foundations jerseys checklist (I have yet to see a single copy, and seriously doubt that they were produced) UD has yet to put out a Varlamov memorabilia card. Fortunately, ITG has Varly memorabilia for me to chase down, and I love the effort and care that they put into the swatch selection on their cards. A special shout to all of the members that had a hand in this show!
From Russia With Love Silver /24 & Franchises Silver /24
