Getting the month started off right with 2 PC pickups....

These cards are awesome in person. Really digging this year's rookie design

and this also came in today. Might have to settle for this for a while, as his Cup Rookies have skyrocketed to ridiculous amounts.

Bobby nice Ice rookie and Byfugylien Spx rookie.

lumm0x as always great additions and I love The Cup Rookie Masterpiece and the Scripted Swatches. those Fight Strap cards are sweet as well.

This is the only board I really post pics and I'm not sure if this guy ever played hockey.

It's just pretty cool, so I wanted to post it:

I came back to eastern PA for the weekend and I bought a collection off a guy and this was one of the cards.

TROY

 

[pghbuccos]

awesome Truman auto Troy.

I'm sure even if he never played hockey he knew what hockey was so posting that is fine by me

 

[Groat]

I haven't picked up anything hockey related in a while now with the exception of some boxes. Figured that the time was right, seeing as how I can't seem to find much football stuff that's interesting me currently.

My, my, my. These Cup cards have always looked nice on the internet, but now that I've actually got one in hand I'm smitten. Don't be surprised to see more of these in the future.

I really like the look of this year's Champ's set, so I picked up the Flyers team set. The others are still incoming.

Nice looking and cheap. Can't beat that. Briere has a fantastic looking signature, by the way. One odd thing about this card is the design to the left and right of the player name on the bottom of the card. It looks like the headlights from some kind of luxury car to me.

 

[pghbuccos]

I know I say it all the time but I love The Cup Limited Logo's (even if they are Flyers cards).

congrats on some nice hockey additions Groat.

 

[lumm0x]

Love me some Cup auto/patches! Even if a set named Limited Logos has ceased to contain logos ::facepalm::

 

[G $MONEY$]

WOW!!!! You guys are all starting the month off with a bang!! Great additions so far :shock:


A question for Lumm0x, i was curious with your Carter collection, if you have pulled a "Quincy" so far? As in getting a complete run of one of Carter cards. Like 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 5/5?

 

[lumm0x]

I have a couple low print run ones like /2 or /3. Should be completely my first /5 shortly with an incoming card. I'm a card or two away from a couple of /10 as well.

 

[gonzagacubs]

Great pickups so far everyone! Got this cheap for the Blackhawks PC

 

[PhillyPuckNut]

Got a couple more lots for my 71-72 Topps set.

 

[PhillyPuckNut]

1 more.

 

[Groat]

Those are cool looking, and pretty distinctly '70s.

:lol: Thanks Groat.

 

[pghbuccos]

nice additions to your set.

 

[PhillyPuckNut]

Probably the last one for the night. Thanks to pgh for the advice

 

[pghbuccos]

the Raw was definitely the way to go. it looks very sharp.

Indeed, it looks like it's in great shape by the picture.
