Mail from the past two weeks

[BlindThomen]

Hi guys!

The stream of goods to the PC hasn't been a strong as usual as of late, but still I have received some nice, and "long lost", ones during the past two weeks.

I didn't realize it at first, but the Brind'Amour Paramount Ice Blue finished the parallels from that set. "Only" 9 different parallels in Paramount 99-00.
UD finally sent me the JR Artifacts Auto-Facts after 8 months of wait, they did throw in the Sid/Ovechkin card, which was a nice reward for waiting so long.
The Tkachuk Topps GL also finishes the Tkachuk variations from the set.

The Kapanen completes my Victory Update set. Thanks to all who've helped me finishing it up.
Seems like the True Colors have become a regular guest in my mail posts. This is the Sharks/Kings one. I have a Kings True Colors on the way now too, but still can't find the Sabres Octo.

The two Haakana's here are reserved for davva here on HI. The JR is past of the Kings Team Set they released this year. I was able to find the Heads Up Quad Jersey Gold/30 on B Marketplace. It wasnät exactly cheap, but given how hard they're to come by, it was well worth it.
As I've been able to finish of many parallel sets of my guys lately, the Tkachuk Artifacts Blue/75 also fits in to that category (not counting the 1/1).

First of all, thank you to Andy (Hatzosman6) for helping me out with acquiring the Tkachuk SPGU TOTG/99. You're the best! The eBay seller didn't ship outside North America, so Andy stepped in, as I asked for his assistance.
I don't know if anyone else has seen one, but I'm still wondering where all the Roenick Notable Numbers/27 are located. There's been several /97 out in the market. Still, happy to get the more frequent off the wantlist.
I think the highlight of my recent mail is the Mullen/Tkachuk Notable Numbers from the Cup. There was one on eBay earlier with a single color Mullen and 3-color Tkachuk patch, but I lost that one. Now the colors are reversed, but what can you do? It's #'d out of seven, after all.

Here's something might enjoy. The great thing about the card is that there's a seam running through the Roenick in the upper left corner. The card came from Norway of all the places.


In the following scans there are some traders I picked up from HI guys, mofo88 and Don Robertson to be exact. Big thanks to both sellers.

Thanks for watching!

[Kharlamov17]

Nice haul Sauli.

 

[TurcoCollector3]

Very nice haul, what are you looking to get for the Turco Glacial Graphs?

 

[27Leafs27]

Sauli, man there is a lot of good looking stuff there. I love those Topps Gold Label cards. Congrats on all your parallel sets you completed, I was thinking the Brindy had to be close and sure enough. The JR Notable Numbers is a beauty. Can you use a JR MacFarlane Series 12 version, white Kings uniform. Lmk if interested, I have next to nothing in it so could do a deal for postage only.
Congrats .
Dan.

 

[The Great Zo]

Oh man, THAT'S where Don's lot went!!! I was eyeing it myself but I spent too much in the past month

Needless to say you'll have plenty of trade bait for the two of us for a while

Thanks for the mail post and good to see that Tools Of The Game card at its new home.

 

[Don Robertson]

Andy,
I kept sitting there waiting for you to pull the trigger on that lot...lol.

Sauli,
Glad to see they made it to you...I can't understand why you wouldn`t want to scan all of those though. =)

 

[56Parkies]

Ack! Interested in selling the Heads Up Osgood Red /80..?

Some nice stuff in there.. I'm pretty positive I just saw a Sabres Octo at the monthly Victoria card show I went to this afternoon.. there were probably 6 or 7 different ones there today.. priced around book, but most people could be talked down today, since it was pretty sparsely attended. Next time I go, I can check around for ya for the Sabres one again if you want?

 

[langway05]

Sauli

Another awesome haul of Roenick additions.. As well you're pretty heavy on the Tkachuk items too boot... The Mullen/Tkachuk is my 'FAV!'

Thanks alot for the mulitiple of purty pics & congrats.

Brian

 

[TheGriceBoys]

Sauli, DEAR LORD MAN!

I love a ton of cards in there, the True Colors is sweet! All the JR graphs are beautiful!

That Tkachuk/Mullen from The Cup is unbelieveable! WOW!

I also really like that Forsberg Fire On Ice!

Thanks for sharing!

 

[BlindThomen]

Vic - Thank you!

Tim - Thanks. Sorry, another fellow got to me first on the Turco auto.

Dan - Thanks man. It's always a great feeling to complete a set. I like all the Gold Label cards as well, but tend to lean a bit more towards earlier sets in terms of design. I'll send you a PM shortly.

Andy - Lol, I was eyeing the lot the whole time too. Kinda knew you were doing the same. When I saw Don's asking price, I didn't hesitate one second.

Don - Yeah, what would it have been, about 15 scans more? Thank again for the great sale.

56Parkies - Hey, that yould be great, if you could check the show for the Sabres True colors. I'll send you a PM regarding the Red/80, and a couple of other Ozzies too.

Brian - Thanks. Thankfully, due to Roenick's awful last season, maybe he won't have so many cards produced this season?

Barrie - Glad you like the Kings items and Foppa.

 

[PenaltyMan]

I missed the praise party!

Well done, Sauli. From the true colors to the patches to the JR autos, you've gone quite an awesome haul o goodies.

Fantastic

 

[Hata]

[Bibbz]
