[espin]

Busted a box of Upper Deck Series 1 yesterday. Pulled Heritage Classic Hemsky (Blue) and an NHL's best Niedermeyer (White) jersey cards. Happy with the Hemsky, but otherwise nothing too interesting in the box.

[TURCO_35]

Get a Turco common?

[gratzi]

Any Iginla's espin?

[Bozzy]

No prob Sillshock. It was my pleasure. Just hope it helped your collection

Glad the boards are finally up.

Pretty freakin' dumb with Tony Twist right? I guess, since he bascially had AT BEST a mediocre career, he's gotta pull money from somewhere.

Got a 4 color Luongo/Kidd tandems card today.

[rocco]

man... I found an online store with SPGU boxes for $153..... I really REALLY want to convince my mom to let me get it so she doesn't rip my head off

[rocco]

holy crap!!! I seriously don't remember Aebi being in this set

http://i8.ebayimg.com/03/i/03/13/8f/2f_1_b.JPG

[rocco]

hmmm.... thinking about selling to help fund the box of SPGU.

Lets see. I could put together a UD Series 1 lot of:

Full base set
all the YGs and inserts I pulled
Torres Young Superstar jersey
Leeth/Rafalski dual WC jersey
Broudeur NHLs Best jersey
Kovalev WC jersey
Tanguay Big Playmakers 2 color /50

hmmm... I'm going to pitch this idea on the beckett board and possibly ebay

[rocco]

HAHAHA!!! Sillshock... 2 things... I almost forgot:

1. Did you get your NHL 9 case yet?

2. Thats a nice Gretzky Under Glass card you entered for that contest at Trader Retreat :D lmao!!!

[sillshock]

HAHAHA!!! Sillshock... 2 things... I almost forgot:

1. Did you get your NHL 9 case yet?

2. Thats a nice Gretzky Under Glass card you entered for that contest at Trader Retreat :D lmao!!!

Answers for Rocco

1. Yes I got my case. The case did not yield a 3rd jersey sakic. only chase figs were a Rangers Leetch, and Raycroft chase and I still am not sure about the sundin, but I got the dark orange stick.

2. Ahh yes, I was on your website seeing what you had, and I thought heck I will enter that as my card. I was hoping I would win, but no such luck.. oh well, I am sure I'm not the only one that did it :D


I will be recieving my 2 boxes of upper deck tomorrow, I hope for the best.

[flesh_gordon]

Got my jerseys from NHL.com yesterday... and they look fabulous!

[TURCO_35]

Just won our most expensive autcion yet. We just bought a master set of 97-98 Donruss Priority. Cost a lot but it's my dads favorite set (he's a stamp collector)

Keep me in mind for any Aebi Jersey auto, Aebi/Roy jersey auto, Aebi HG Glossy /5, Roenick Patch, Roy HG Glossy /5 or /10, or Roenick Big Playmakers

:D

[rocco]

Oh yeah... and an Aebi HG Glossy /10...

I really didn't expect this one to go this high:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5149549380

[gratzi]

Glad I ended up buying that Iginla jersey I mentioned a few days ago for 15 bucks. One just went on ebay for over 30. 15 bucks is a pretty good deal I think, even if it ends up booking for less than that cause it's one per case (1:288) as rocco informed me. Plus you gotta love the red swatch!

[deadmanwalking]

and anyone that has any aebischer lefts overs after you spoil rocco , think of me ;)

[gratzi]

I'm also looking for the Iginla Auto/Jersey or the Big Playmakers jersey if anyone gets one. Possibly any of the Iginla or Kiprusoff World Cup jerseys too.

[sillshock]

Keep me in mind for any Aebi Jersey auto, Aebi/Roy jersey auto, Aebi HG Glossy /5, Roenick Patch, Roy HG Glossy /5 or /10, or Roenick Big Playmakers

:D

Let's Hope for the best. I would like a 2 color NHL's Best Rick Nash though!

Mail Day: Nabokov Sharks 3rd Jersey

[rocco]

Let's Hope for the best. I would like a 2 color NHL's Best Rick Nash though!

[rocco]

[TURCO_35]

Why not?

[rocco]

Why not?
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

[TURCO_35]

Oh yeah that makes a big difference

[rocco]

I'm going to try and sell some stuff to get enough to buy a box of SPGU

[jwtragic]

Rocco,

Why buy a box? Just trade for the cards you really want.

[TURCO_35]

Yeah but with a box you can get some nice traders

[glove-save]

I decided to try and get all the goalies from this rare rookie set, I bought the Fleury and Lehtonen on the 'bay, so I figured I would try to get the rest. Here they are, any help would be much appreciatted:
43. Krahn/32, 57. Stana/66, 64. Kotyk/39, 65. Osaer/35, 78. Niittymaki/90, 80. Joey MacDo9nald/56, 100. Schaefer/35, 102. Smith/64, 118. Ellis/37, 123. Chiodo/62, 124. Munro/43, 130 Underhill/27, 144. Yeats/53, 146. Dubielewicz/59

[flesh_gordon]

westcoast... I'll prolly just go out to Wisers in Langley... its fairly close to my house and their SP prices are pretty good.

Might pick up some packs, depending if they're having some sales or not.

[TURCO_35]

Good game, had row 1 tickets beside Glass. I was sitting with a friend of mine that had a red Canada jersey. Might be only game I go to but it was worth it. We originally had row 24 in the Upper deck.

Got some damn nice presents too

[Bozzy]

Hope you all have had an excellent Christmas!!!!!!!

Well today, was an awesome day. Besides the usual clothes, and other stuff, I got a box of:

1) 03/04 UD SPx
2) 04/04 ITG Heroes and Prospects

Well after opening gifts I had also gotten some various packs of cards, including 04/05 UD Series 1. Well after cracking about 20 of those or so, all I pulled was an 04/05 UD Series 1 Sakic YG Retro and a 03/04 Pacific Exhibit Hejduk Jersey

Then box cracking time came. Well I busted Heroes and Prospects first, but I will save that for last. So in my SPx bx, I pulled:

03/04 UD SPx "Winning Materials" Dual Jersey Dominik Hasek /99

03/04 UD SPx "Rookie Stars" Jersey Esa Pirnes /999

03/04 UD SPx "Rookie Stars" Jersey/Auto Alexander Semin /925

Now its time for the Heroes and Prospects box. Let's start this off, by saying this was the best box I have EVER opened. So good, you guys might not believe me, but it is true. In the Heroes and Prospects I pulled:

03/04 ITG H&P "Prospect Jersey" Alexander Ovechkin /90 :eek: :eek:

03/04 ITG H&P Sidney Crosby auto :eek: :eek:

03/04 ITG H&P Rogie Vachon auto

I REALLY wish I had a digital camera to post pics, but unfortunately I do not. I was just truly amazed with the box. I would have been happy with the Ovechkin jersey (the first of those cards I pulled). Then, out of nowhere comes the Crosby auto about 6-8 packs later. I was just speechless. Then the very next pack was the Rogie Vachon auto, and that was just icing on the cake.

I just thought I would share my Christmas pulls.

Thanks guys
Dan

Kobasew HG /25
Koltsov CDN Exclusive /50

Subsets
Ice Icon Belfour
Magic Moments M.A Fleury
and a couple others...

meh not bad for my first box but could've been better :D didn't want to spend the 105 on 05 Series 1, and didn't know if Honor Roll would be worth it either.

[TURCO_35]

Well if you would have bought Honor Roll you could have gotten a Fleury and we know who likes Fleury :D

[flesh_gordon]

coulda woulda shoulda didn't ;)

[jwtragic]

Meh. I'll just keep buying the singles I need.

[TURCO_35]

Not much on ebay... but I think I might get something for a set or a box of Bowman

[jwtragic]

Meh. Bowman's okay but I got sick of it quickly

[TURCO_35]

I love it, 6 Fleury autos can't go wrong with that at the price. Plus 20% chance your box will have his auto

[gratzi]

yeah espin, I still have it.

[TURCO_35]

I think I found what my Christmas money is going to go to... hopefully I can hold on to the high bid for a couple more hours

[flesh_gordon]

[TURCO_35]

It's maroon, black and yellow

[flesh_gordon]

man the wjc is on espn im so stoked to be watching real life hockey !

unreal .

usa winning 1 -0 .

[gratzi]

yeah it's awesome hey! WJC is probly my favorite part of X-Mas. Not that's it really part of X-Mas but it's my favorite thing of this time of year. Especially this year with no NHL. The 94-95 WJC was so much fun for me, I still follow the guys that were on that team. I have this insert set of that 94-95 team from 95 Donruss I think, and it's still one of my favorite bunch of cards I have.

[TURCO_35]

Don't forget the Spengler cup

[deadmanwalking]

[Eazy-D66]

I don't see this happening at all......they had enough of a time with the Swiss....do you honestly think they'll be able to handle team canada?

[sillshock]

Team USA is struggling... I am not a fan of AL Montoya... He looks clueless in the net, him and his stand-up style of goaltending, I'm partial to Butterfly style goalies.

[flesh_gordon]

Haven't seen any cards on ebay lately... found a Brady Etched glass but someone's already bid $20.00 with over 5 days remaining :(

[TURCO_35]

Yeah there's 4 cards I am looking for right now and only one is up right now

[gratzi]

One of my main wants is on the bay right now too. It's not big up high yet and still has a few days left so I'm hoping I can try snag it. Have some paypal money just waiting for a card that I want like this to show up.

[TURCO_35]

Good luck gratzi.
