Official Hockey Pickup Thread - July 2010

[Da_Fish]

I figured I would get one of these started this month.

A friend of mine wanted to sell some of his stuff so he could pay for his cruise he is taking. Originally, I was only going to get the GU St Patrick's Day jersey.....the next thing you know my vehichle is loaded up with stuff.

Let's start with a couple of cards:

There are more of the 1st year jersey cards not in the frame

John Curry GU stick

Ty Conklin GU stick

Didn't take pics of everything...have 3 or 4 more team signed jerseys, team signed helmet, tons of cards, bobbleheads, all of the WBS Pens team sets (99/00-09/10), and a bunch of autographed lineup cards.....also got a Polamalu Contenders rookie auto...I know, not hockey, but I really dig this card.

To top it off, I opened the new boxing and pulled an Ali auto....woot

:shock: :shock: :shock:

holy crap Troy. I don't even know where to begin with how awesome that all is. the Lemieux/Jagr probably should be my favorite but I think all the WBS GU sets are amazing. the Conklin stick is incredible too. congrats on pulling the Ali auto as well.

Thanks Dave!! I thought you might like the stuff....I actually needed the 1st year jersey set.....my favorite (I think) is the Toby Petersen GU jersey since he was one of my favorite AHL Penguins over the years. The original owner of the jersey paid 600+ for it. For some reason, Wilkes Barre fans paid/pay crazy money for jerseys. I remember losing out on a Dennis Bonvie jersey one year, and I bid over $2000!!! I was crazy....and drunk!!

I certainly didn't leave the kudos out on the GU jersey on purpose it's a gorgeous addition to your amazing collection Troy. you are right about the WBS GU jerseys going extremely high. I have an eBay saved search for WBS Penguins and always follow the GU jersey auctions just to see how high they end. great haul once again Troy.

eBay Bucks helped pay for these this morning...

very nice. This year's Future watch auto/patches are top notch as usual.

Gotta love early afternoon ending auctions. Got my first Hanson Ultimate Collection card for a whopping $3.49! Should have some more soon....stay tuned!

I won 1 of 12 MAF's I had snipes set for tonight

 

[gonzagacubs]

Sorry Dave, sounds like a rough night for the MAF collection. I bet you are able to pick them up cheaper another time. I like the one you got though. Good design on that card.

Not this exact one, but I got one of these. 2 for 2 on Hanson Ultimate pickups so far, with another one ending tomorrow night that I really hope I am able to win.

 

[pghbuccos]

it's cool Bobby. hopefully some of them will show up again.

very nice Hanson Ultimate.

I think I made up for my 11 MAF losses tonight with these...

luckily all from one seller so I saved on shipping
