The Official Penguins Collector's Thread

pghbuccos · Jun 10, 2010

I know we have a lot of Penguins collector's here so I wanted to start an Official Thread for us to share our cards and memorabilia. so let's see some Pens stuff.

pghbuccos · Jun 10, 2010

I will start off with the greatest Penguin player/owner of all-time Mario Lemieux.

here are all my Lemieux cards...

Groat · Jun 10, 2010

What a trip down memory lane with those Lemieux cards. I know I've got a few of them in a box somewhere. Makes me remember with the 96 Select Certified that chrome cards were at one time super special and came with that protective layer on them. I'll never forget seeing Lemieux and Jagr as one of the most formidable duos in hockey during my childhood.

I'm just a casual hockey collector, so nothing real special. I have some various figures from my younger days I'll have to get pics of sometime. I'm still a Lightning fan first and foremost, but living in Western PA, you can't escape Pens fever, especially now. They're just a fun team to watch.

Fedotenko is my all time favorite player, G$ hooked me up with the MAF as a freebie

, J-Rod hooked me up with the Crosby RC in exchange for some misc work

Groat glad you liked the Lemieux's. I have had most of those since I was a kid but some have come from some generous FCB'ers. I too grew up watching Lemieux, Jagr, Stevens, Francis and Barrasso and now we have been blessed with Crosby, Malkin, Staal and Fleury.

Card Magnet I would imagine it would be difficult to live in Western Pa and not be somewhat of a fan of this team and your Lightning are going to be a very good team for years to come as well. that MAF is one of my favorite cards from this year and I need to get one of those Victory Crosby RC's.

Groat here are the Lemieux and Jagr cards from 1996 Score Select...

Well other than all my Fleury cards, i've got some other nice Pens cards that are part of my Penguins PC. As the thread and days/weeks go on, ill be sure to pull out my camera to take some more Penguins PC pics. Good idea for a thread Dave.

One of my card company certified Lemieux autos...

Sidney Crosby's first pack pulled certified autograph...

A few more Crosby's including a rookie year auto from SP Game Used /87..

This here is Crosby's first ever NHL card. These cards were given away by Upper Deck as a redemption. If memory serves correct, UDs website allowed ever account just one of these Rookie Showcase cards. Pretty much every team had a card and you would get a random card. i was lucky enough to get the Crosby as my redem and the AO i bought on ebay.

A Couple cards from one of my favorite sets ever, Heroes and Prospects....

"Aspiring" Malkin/Lemieux Fleury/Brodeur

A couple more great Heroes and Prospects cards...
Malkin/Crosby "Future Teammates" and a Malkin GU from a Metallurg Magnitogorsk jersey...

Fleury and rookie year Malkin SOTT autos...

I'll post some more later.

sabresfreak · Jun 11, 2010

Here are some Pens that I have. The best card IMO is the Barnaby. Best player to put on a Pens jersey.

Da_Fish · Jun 11, 2010

Da Fish will like these ones....

Yes, me likey!!!!!!

pghbuccos · Jun 12, 2010

sabresfreak you've got cards of some players I had forgotten about like Bryan Smolinski and Shawn Antoski. Barnaby was always one of my favorite Penguins as well as Kasper. I also love the Crosby YG and someday I will own one.

G $MONEY$ · Jun 12, 2010

I have 3 binders of mostly mid to late 90's cards and it is always fun to go back and look through them. Barnaby was my first "favorite" player with Buffalo so I took it kind of hard when he was traded. I bought a couple of packs just after 05-06 UD 1 came out and I pulled the Crosby.
