Mail Call: Set Killers, Redemptions, and Captains

[jaywings19]

Seems like forever since I last did one of these posts. Life has been quite busy (in a good way) and I just haven't been around to post much lately. Glad I found some time to scan a few nice items and share them with you all. Enjoy!

First, a baseball pickup for my Braves collection. . .

Dale Murphy - 2004 Donruss Recollection Autograph 1987 DK /72

Which happens to complete the entire Murphy/Braves set run!

(I don't count the 1991 card that has him pictured on the Phillies)

In case you were wondering, here are the print runs for each card. . .

1981 - 14 copies
1982 - 9 copies
1982 DK - 15 copies
1983 - 24 copies
1984 - 11 copies
1985 - 13 copies
1986 - 10 copies
1987 - 37 copies
1987 DK - 72 copies
1988 - 40 copies
1989 - 5 copies
1990 - 15 copies

Here are a couple of cards for my Rangers collection. . .

Walt Tkaczuk - 2003/04 Parkhurst Original 6 NYR Autograph

Phil Esposito - 2003/04 Parkhurst Original 6 NYR Autograph

Which also happens to complete the entire autograph set!

(Mike will be proud)

Next, we have a redemption card fulfilled by Upper Deck rather quickly. . .

Lemieux/Messier - 2007/08 UD Ultimate Dual Jersey Autograph /10

Finally, an assortment of Captain autographs. . .

Mark Messier - 2007/08 UD Sweet Shot Signature Sticks /15

Mark Messier - 2007/08 UD Ultimate Achievements Autograph /6

Steve Yzerman - 2001/02 SPx Tribute Autograph /19

That's all for now. I'm off to Boston to catch a Red Sox game tomorrow. Talk to you all next week!

Thanks for looking. . . please drive safely!

Man, that's some awesome stuff. 'bout time you got off your lazy @$$ and posted some mail. The dancing banana is the obvious star of the show. Have fun in Boston. Mike

Super haul, Jay! Pretty tough to beat that nifty Signature Sticks piece, but I still gotta go with the Yzie! Good job with the O6 set as well!

Awesome stuff Jay, not sure which is my fav, the sweet shot Messier, or the Stevie Y - but it's all top notch!

 

[FASTMAX]

Awesome mail Jay. It was me and you on that Stevie ZPx Tribute. I have always wanted one of them and I think that one is my favorite that I have seen. Again, great pickups.

Nice haul, I got freaked out when I saw a Murph auto and no link to a baseball thread.

EVERYTHING in there is legit, but those last 3 are ill. Congrats on the acquisitions.

Couple of nice completed auto sets you have there, nice work.

That Messier stick card is awesome...what a sweet looking stick piece....can't complain too hard on the others either...Moose auto /6, nothing to sneeze at...great haul
