Got those 71-72 10 card lots in that I was talking about last week. Only 7 of them passed my inspection as grade worthy though. But on top of that, 19 are going to pgh to help with his set.

Couple of wins tonight before the big game starts.....

I decided that I needed one of these when I first saw them. Sharp looking cards in my opinion.

 

[pghbuccos]

great pickups Bobby. those Fight Strap cards look awesome.

 

[PhillyPuckNut]

Wish I would have seen this lot before I bought the Howe and the graded Clarke.

Several more cards to show off today.

That last card, while nothing super special, looks pretty cool in person. The scan doesn't do it justice.

I'm really enjoying branching off into hockey stuff right now. I'm getting the same feeling that I did when I first started collecting football. Every time I look at ebay there's something new and interesting that I haven't seen before instead of a hundred things you see every day for every one thing you haven't. I'm also very impressed with the variety and quality of the cards out there. Seems like there's something for everybody.

Nice pickups Groat! Love the Carcillo mini auto!

 

[PhillyPuckNut]

Got a couple Champs mini-autos of my own.

I would be more then happy to help u pick out some boxes....I usually have even better luck when i pick things out for others, as long as you don't get mad at me if it was a dud lol. I remember this one time i told this guy to buy this one box and I said u are going to get a Lemieux auto in it and the last pack had a dual patch auto of Lemieux!

Outstanding pickups lumm0x! Gotta love those! Got a little mail myself today.

Picked up a couple more lots on Friday and they came in today. Out of 12 possible cards, 11 of them are what I consider good enough for grading.

Picked up another 2 from a different seller. 1, not so good in hand, better in the scan. But this one was nice.

And got this relatively cheap already graded to save the trouble and a little money.

 

[hawkfandan]

Those Topps cards are awesome, nice pickups!

 

[pghbuccos]

some amazing pickups folks.

lumm0x that SP Game Used Game Gear card is as sweet as the first one you won. hopefully you can track down the last one.

PuckNut very nice Topps cards as always.

Matt congrats on all the great pulls and all the sweet Pens cards you were able to get in return.

 

[lumm0x]

Love the designs of the 70's hockey wax! Those are great cards.

I picked up a ton of stuff this past week but most of it was football.

Here are some of the hockey pieces:

I like the Richard too.....it used to be mine, but I traded it away....just got it back yesterday

I may have more scans later, but it's going to take me a few days to go through all of this stuff!!!

BTW, did you go to the Penguins moving sale on Saturday? I was back 'home' so I didn't make it. I was bummed becaused I really wanted to go to it.
