it's ok Frenchie I still got it cheaper than other copies sold for.

I waited for the prices to come down before I started going after The Cup this year. I am still waiting for the Dominion prices to come down :?

2 steals yesterday for the P/C, note to self - don't end .99 cent auctions early on a week day.

I usually wait for them to arrive, but I'm going to just post the ebay scan for now since it may be a couple weeks before it comes in from Canada.

Nice to cross off the #1 card on the want list.

Nice pick up. It's still one of the 9 cards I need for my 09-10 UD Master Bruins set.

Thanks. I think I over payed, but I wasn't getting anywhere with the seller who has the other one on ebay.

Are all the ones you're missing the High Gloss parallels?

I'm missing:

Bobby Orr Clearly Canadians - I just missed out on the last one
Neely/Yzerman Draft Class - This is #/10 and I think I've only seen two or three and they usually go for $90+
Don Cherry Sig Sensations - I've seen this twice and just missed on the last one
Drew Larman Sig Sensations - Just haven't felt like picking this up since he's pictured as a Panther.
Bobby Orr UD Signatures - I've seen a few but haven't felt like dropping $100+ on a Orr Sticker auto
Recchi HG - Never seen one
Bergeron HG - Seen one and forgot to bid and it only went for about $20! UGH!
Marchand HG - Hadn't really seen any until he blew up in the playoffs and that didn't help prices.

Here's a link to the progress: http://www.freedomcardboard.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=79628

But considering out of 90 total cards I'm tracking for the 09-10 UD Bruins Master set, I'm pretty pleased with 90%. Maybe one day I'll finish it, but who knows. I may be moving on to do the 11-12 UD Bruins Master set, which will be a little nice without any YG's in series 1 and I can't imagine any in Series 2 as they really don't have any rookies ready to go.

thanks Luxury Suite was a great looking set.

I'm not a huge IRL fan but when I did watch I always rooted for Wheldon. he seemed like such a nice guy and it's a shame he died in such a horrific way.

Love those Luxury Suite autos. Kehoe seems like cool guy. You see this guys Pens gamers collection Bucco. He bought some of Kehoe jerseys direct from him. Even a yellow one. One of the better Pens collections on the planet

thanks for the link. I had not seen that website before. he has one hell of a collection.

Special mailday because every since the release of Crown Royale earlier this year, I have been wanting a Coat of Arms patch card. I patiently waited for the right one that I wanted and here it arrived today:



I love the design of these cards and it has to be one of the best memorabilia sets of 10/11. They are all patch cards with no parallel versions and some are short printed to much less than 25. I am super happy to finally have one and a Skinner no doubt. Thanks.

awesome Hall Retro YG and that Skinner Coat of Arms is gorgeous.

congrats on 2 great cards.

That Skinner is beautiful. What an awesome looking set.
