Howdy guys,

I'm back with another mailpost. I had been one package away from making this thread, and it FINALLY came in today. I've been pretty busy lately with working and interning at TSN. It is not a paid internship, as it's part of my college program, which means that i've had to be rather picky with what cards i've been picking up. Of course, at the same time a ton of cards pop up and I had to spend WAY more than i should've.

Hope you all enjoy the show, as there is a TOP 7 again, in honour of Bargnani!

On with the show:

Picked up this silver parallel for dirt cheap, so I figured that it couldn't hurt to pick it up. It's Rookie year and I didn't have it, so it was a no brainer.

This is my third version of this card, i love the look of it , so i can't get enough.

RED INK 34/50

This auto was actually a stupid purchase on my part. I saw it on eBay and threw in an offer which I think was a little high. When I got it in the mail and went to check it off of my rookie wantlist it turns out that i already had it...So another double, womp.

Got this card in a pretty large lot off of a seller on eBay who was selling his Bargnani collection. A bunch of the cards in this post are from that single deal. Nice looking card, and another one to scratch off the list.

Another really sharp looking autograph. This was part of that lot that I mentioned. Out of 25, and rookie year, I got a pretty good deal on this one.

I don't even know what to say about the amount of parallels that Triple threads has, it's absolutely ridiculous. With that said, it's still a beautiful looking card, and i'm happy to have it.

If this card wasn't a double then it would've probably been able to be #1 on my Top seven list at the end of the post. I absolutely LOVE these Finest cards, and can't stop picking up doubles of the lower numbered stuff. It's hard to know exactly how many of each of these cards are out there, since they were all redemptions. Plus it doesn't hurt that i picked up this version for about 1/3rd of my first copy.

Top Seven time!!! WOOT!





#7

Nice looking UD Black card , it's #7 because of the small creases around the patch window. The damage doesn't really matter to me, as it's PC anyways.






#6

Been wanting to pick this card off the wantlist for a long time. I now have the auto'd version and the gold, but don't have the base jersey yet. Really clean looking card imo , if it was hard signed than this would be a spectacular set.

Rookie Year Exquisite, it doesn't get much better really. I was actually bummed out when I got this one, because a 3 colour version ended a few days later for cheaper than I paid for the 2 colour. Not a big deal as it was part of that lot i picked up, but still would have been nice to grab the other one. STILL, it's a spectacular card.

When this card popped up i HAD to have it. I love these SP Authentic multiple autos, it's just weird seeing them with stickers as the hockey equivalent is almost all hard signed. I guess i can add this one to the Aldridge autograph collection haha, as i have a good handful of his graphs now.




#3

1/1 Yellow plate

Let's just say that i was NOT pleased when this card popped up on eBay. When you see the #1 card you'll understand why. Again, Triple Threads has WAYYYYYYYY too many parallels and plates, but it doesn't mean I can't have them all :lol:

Clean, clean , clean, clean looking card. Happy to add another Exquisite to the stash. The card ended for less than I had expected and was willing to pay, which is always an added bonus. and the #1......




#1

ANOTHER Yellow 1/1 plate

Yes i know, it looks almost identical to the #3 card lol. I picked this one as first because the auto looks cleaner, and the patches just POP for me. When this came up, i already knew it was going to be mine at auction's end. It's awesome looking in person, and it's mine, all mine. :twisted: .




Hope everyone enjoyed the post as I put a little extra time into this one, and I hope it translated.


Love hearing your comments and responses. Thanks for the view, and take care! :D
 
Nice pickups!!! Is TSN that sports channel in Canada??? Just wondered since it has been a decade when I last been to Ontario...
 
nice bargs man I think it is a good time to pick up his cards. give him two or three years and i think he is an allstar and the raps should be a playoff team by then.....one would hope.
 
Some great cardboard! It's nice to see the diversity of the different sports. Sure wish Topps had a hand in hockey as well.

Hopefully next year he's an All-Star. He was well on his way this year, but then he got hurt. I've been collecting him since he broke into the league, so i'll be picking them up no matter what :beer:

Again, thanks for the kind words guys!
