Set Progress:
2017-2018 was a HUGE year for my "next-to-impossible-to-complete" sets that I've been working on for about three years now. It absolutely boggles my mind when I find these knowing that some of them have just been collecting dust for years and have been forgotten by the hobby for over a decade now. The biggest challenge with collecting these sets is that the person who owns them may not even know it is a parallel and therefore never attempts to sell it since it's only "a base card". The thrill of the hunt makes the discovery and acquisition that much more rewarding.
2005 UD Beckett PROMO: These are getting very difficult to find and I only managed to pick up 3 in the last year+. Though not very eye catching, they look identical the the series 1 base cards but have a red "UD PROMO" stamped across the front. I now currently sit at 58/200 or 29% complete.

2005 UD Canadian Fall Expo /10: This is another set that doesn't seem to really pop up regularly anymore. It mirrors the series 1 base + rookies and with my pick ups, I now sit at 59/250 or 24% complete.

2005-06 UD Game Jerseys (Series 1 + 2): I was able to acquire a nice lot of multicolored swatches that I had been eyeing sine 2014! The seller finally decided that I was most likely the only guy out there looking for colourful versions of these so we agreed to a price we were both happy with. All others were pick up through ebay auctions. Many of the 3-colour versions are the only copies of their kind I have ever seen.

2005-06 Victory Black /5: The progress this past year for my Victory Black set was INSANE.. I started out with 6 total a year and a half ago. I now sit at 52!!! Its near impossible to find 1, let alone 46 in the span of 12-16 months! The main reason for was coming in contact with another collector who attempted to put the set together years ago. In that one purchase I acquired about 40 or so victory black cards, which still leaves 16 cards bought through ebay or through various forums. The fact that each is limited to 5 copies makes me wonder how many are still left out there in unopened boxes or forgotten in old collections across the country.

2005-06 High Glossy /10: The high glossy set had a huge boost of over 50 new additions bringing my new total to 158/487 or 32% complete! I never thought I'd get this close haha. I found high gloss cards as close as the next city over in Nova Scotia, to as far awar as Australia. One key purchase included over 20 Young Guns including Carter, Richards and Phaneuf. The impossible is starting to look attainable... well sort of haha.

Set Progress:
2017-2018 was a HUGE year for my "next-to-impossible-to-complete" sets that I've been working on for about three years now. It absolutely boggles my mind when I find these knowing that some of them have just been collecting dust for years and have been forgotten by the hobby for over a decade now. The biggest challenge with collecting these sets is that the person who owns them may not even know it is a parallel and therefore never attempts to sell it since it's only "a base card". The thrill of the hunt makes the discovery and acquisition that much more rewarding.
2005 UD Beckett PROMO: These are getting very difficult to find and I only managed to pick up 3 in the last year+. Though not very eye catching, they look identical the the series 1 base cards but have a red "UD PROMO" stamped across the front. I now currently sit at 58/200 or 29% complete.
2005 UD Canadian Fall Expo /10: This is another set that doesn't seem to really pop up regularly anymore. It mirrors the series 1 base + rookies and with my pick ups, I now sit at 59/250 or 24% complete.
2005-06 UD Game Jerseys (Series 1 + 2): I was able to acquire a nice lot of multicolored swatches that I had been eyeing sine 2014! The seller finally decided that I was most likely the only guy out there looking for colourful versions of these so we agreed to a price we were both happy with.
