Is getting an entire print run out of 5 rare?

[J.Staal_Collector]

I was just wondering if getting an entire print run out 5 rare? I only know of 2 people ever doing it.

1. Steve Angel-
All 5 copies of "02-03 ITG Ultimate Memorabilia Captain's C" Joe Sakic

2.Lionel Hsu-
All 5 copies of "05-06 SP Game Used Signature Sticks" Jonathan Cheechoo

I ask because I just recieved the last card to get all 5 copies of 07-08 O Pee Chee Premier Gold Spectrum Jordan Staal. Here they are:

I will "bump" this once and a while because I would like to know if this is truly a player collector accomplishment.

Thanks alot
Ian

PS. I know mine don't have fancy auto's or patches but I still think this is pretty cool! :giggity::giggity:

heck yeah, nothing wrong with that. Lucky to land all 5 even without autos or 'game used' swatches

That's what I figured. All it would have took was for one to fall into the hands of another Jordan Staal or Pittsburgh Penguins collector and it probably would have never been seen again.....at least for a LONG, LONG time!

I am very impressed. Congratulations!

And yes, it is indeed quite the accomplishment. Just to know you have EVERY one of a specific card produced must be one of your hobby highlights.

Did you get them all on ebay ?

Did you get them all on ebay ?

Yep.....I won the first one last year and then I managed to get three more in a three day period (that was a miracle in itself, lol) then the last one ended last week.

I didn't plan on going for all 5 but the 3 that hit ebay in one week really set things in motion.

Here are when the auctions ended: (Yes I kept record, lol!)

Sept/27/08- OPC Premier Gold Spectrum 1/5 (ebay auction)
Feb/8/09- OPC Premier Gold Spectrum 2/5 (ebay BIN)
Feb/8/09- OPC Premier Gold Spectrum 3/5 (ebay auction)
Nov/25/09- OPC Premier Gold Spectrum 4/5 (ebay auction)
Feb/10/09- OPC Premier Gold Spectrum 5/5 (ebay auction)

It is rare. My guy doesn't even have anything /5 to collect! Other than 1/1, the lowest thing he's got is /10!

Very impressive, congrats on being able to get all 5

I'm sure it is a very rare feat and a great accomplishment for you. Congrats!

Yeah that's pretty awesome. I've got 2/5 and 6/10 on a couple, but wow to pull together the entire print run is spectacular.

That is a huge undertaking so congrats on a job well done

Congrats

That is quite a feat. With all the crazy "player" collectors and set collectors and team collectors ... well you get the idea. Congrats!

 

[cards-gotta-go]

Well done... just well done.

Is that a rhetorical question!?

Great job, just insane! I think most player collectors would be lucky to SEE all five copies of their guy let alone snag them all.

I've been sitting on 2/5 for 8 months now and those are the only two I've SEEN.

 

[quincy]

Very well done indeed.

 

[Boom Boom]

Nice job picking up all of them

 

[gratzi]

Very nice, congrats!!!
