As for everyone 2020 was a different year! For me one big change in the collecting year was that I didn't try complete a set for the first time in years. Most of my purchases were cards that I had been looking for to complete other sets that I have been collecting over the years! Anyway on with the show:

10) Starting it off is a hard to find and not too cheap card that I needed to finish the 08-09 Retro set from the 2018-19 SP Authentic set. The Carter Hart card helped me finish the 24 card set all of which are /25



9) In May I stumbled across a card I had been looking for from the 03-04 Classic Portraits set I had collected back then. 1 of 2 cards I was missing, with the Joe Thornton card:



and a few days later I received a card in the mail unannounced to complete my set:



Thanks to HammerHawks for helping me complete this set:



8) Next is a card I just recently received but had been trying to track down for a long time from the 2016-17 SP Authentic Set. This leaves me needing 3 final cards for the complete SOTT(non Rookie) set from that year.



7) From the same set but a harder card to find was this William Nylander Inscribed card as there were only 10 made. This leaves me with one remaining Rookie SOTT card in the Pavel Zacha Inscribed card.



6) Now being a Leaf fan it is hard to get excited about acquiring a Bruins card but since this card is from the 04-05 SP Authentic Set from 15 years ago, I am ok with getting it lol!



5) Another from that same set that I had never seen was this Gilbert Perreault/Rene Robert dual auto card. I now have 177/184 SOTT auto cards from that set. I don't know if it will ever be complete.



4) Another SOTT triple Auto that I had been tracking for some time recently popped up. I don't thing Panarin is a big signer so that might be why. This is from the 15-16 SP Authentic Set



3) From that same set this Immortal Ink had alluded me for 5 years and was somewhat tough to track down. I had seen it once but missed out on getting it. But now with the Selanne I had completed the set.






2) Ok you didn't think a Leaf fan wouldn't have any in their top 10 did you. Added these two of Matthews from the 17-18 SP Authentic set



1) Received this card on the last day of the year! When Dr.Price put up these Made To Order cards I was on board for my PC player. Yes even though I am a set builder I do collect a lot of Darryl Sittler cards on the side. Here is the awesome looking card that I received recently:




Thanks for looking everyone. I think I tracked down most of the good ones I acquired last year but it was kind of a blur! All the best to everyone in 21 and stay safe!

Always a great feeling to be able to put a long standing set to bed. :beer:

I'm liking the looks of that Sittler MTO.

Thanks a lot for the show and congrats.
 
Awesome group of cards. At least Thornton is now a Leaf...so you can like that BOS card a bit more.
 
Awesome cards Paul! I've always been a fan of the 2004-05 SPA auto set, that would be epic if you could pull in the last few cards that you need.
 
Awesome Paul - emailed you about a Carter Hart /25 that I saw but great to see that you got it! Always love an SPA show.
 
Cheers on the Thornton Classic Portraits, was happy to help you. And thanks for sharing the Sittler, I have loved seeing these cards trickling out! Honored to have inspired them! Haha
