Week ending mail includes a Terrible redemption replacement...

[chadsexington]

Yeah, I'll start with the redemption replacement.

Card replaced: 2006-07 Ultimate Ales Hemsky auto
Replaced by:

1999-00 Century Legends Epic Signatures Ted Lindsay
2005-06 Fleer Ultra Jim Howard (Bonus)

It was actually a pretty good replacement considering this was my reaction when I pulled the Hemsky:

I'm hoping people actually see why the replacement was "terrible" and aren't sitting here calling me a whiner despite

The Terrible Ted Lindsay auto, and Jimmy Howard are FT.

Next, a couple MMA cards sitting around that I forgot to scan. Both come courtesy of the limousine ridin', jet flyin', kiss stealin', wheelin' dealin', son of a gun Jon (cloutier39)

2008 Americana Series II Bas Rutten Autograph
2008 Americana Series II Big John McCarthy Auto / Swatch

Having watched almost every PRIDE event, Bas killed me with some of his rants and color commentary, so this is a welcome addition. Big John...well...he's Big John...and I don't think you'll see much more of his certified stuff out there, so figured I may as well.

Bit of help for my Masterpieces set:

2008-09 Legends Masterpieces Brown Border Canvas Clipping Marcel Dionne
2008-09 Legends Masterpieces Brown Border Brushstrokes Luc Robitaille
2008-09 Legends Masterpieces Brown Border Brushstrokes Reggie Lemelin

It's just weird to me that Lemelin isn't in a Boston uni in this set since he won trophies and all there. Oh well. Thanks for phigagne and LAKingsfan123 for these. I actually got a Robitaille in earlier this week, so this is a spare and FT. The other two are not.

Lastly...I finally got around to scanning that half box of Benchwarmers Jon and I split during the Affliction event. Was a half box of 2005 Signature Series, which was weird since I got a 2004 auto in it.

2004???? Benchwarmers auto Nikki Zeno (Barker's Beauty)
2005 Benchwarmers auto Kendra Wilkinson (Playboy - Hef's former main squeeze)
2005 Benchwarmers auto Jennifer Brown (?)
2005 Benchwarmers auto Denyce Lawton (Accomplished screen actress with such films as Soul Plane to her credit )
2005 Benchwarmers auto Mary Riley (Arguably the most popular Benchwarmer of all time)
2005 Benchwarmers auto Camille Anderson (The Man Show / WWE Diva Search)
Locker room inserts of Camille Anderson and Lisa Ligon

There you have it. Everything I haven't marked NFT is available. I'd prefer to trade /sell off all the Benchwarmers at once.

Nice bevy of beauties!! :dance:

And I see you got the infamous 2005-06 Fleer Ultra Jim Howard (Bonus) :|

Haha I knew you guys would eventually crack and split that box!

 

[gigs6027]

Too bad on the "terrible" redemption
I don't know how anyone can think that a Jim Howard Fleer rc is a bonus. Too bad they weren't handing our the Ovechkin Black Diamond RC's

 

[Bugjam]

Nice looking stuff Matt, except for the Jim Howard "bonus"
Can't wait to see the complete Masterpieces Set once you've finished it off.

Congrats and thanks for the show :beer:

lol where do you get the benchwarmerscards? sweet

About the replacement, isn't Lindsay the better of the 2? I wouldn't mind that for a Hemsky flat auto

 

[wildfan1833]

Love all those Girls Autos. The other are mehh

 

[canucksfreak19]

Matt,
A very attractive lot of cards there . I really like the El Guapo auto. I love it when I go down to Calgary I can watch Inside MMA on HDNet, at my brothers house, and hear some new Basisms.

Haha I knew you guys would eventually crack and split that box!

I really wish you had chosen two different words...

Hey-O...you are correct Sir.

You give me slim hope on my Hemsky redmeptions. I'd take the Ted and Jimmy for that same card I think. Otherwise a nice perky mail haul.

The Benchwarmers cards were from a box that had been sitting in a local card store since release. cloutier39 and I have a bad habit of breaking down and buying boxes we see at that store that have been sitting on the shelf for a while that are tempting.

The word Terrible in my redemption replacement were more punny and sarcastic than anything. I quite prefer the Lindsay to the Hemsky, and was only using terrible to describe the replacement since it was Ted Lindsay's nickname

Matt,

Basisms are amazing. He's like the Dutch Yogi Berra of MMA...constantly inventing one liners that make no sense but entertain nevertheless.

You give me slim hope on my Hemsky redmeptions. I'd take the Ted and Jimmy for that same card I think. Otherwise a nice perky mail haul.

Kelly, you better get accustomed to that...it's the 3rd-ish time I've seen that exact replacement for that exact Hemsky card...
