Verified Trader,
Well since I have started off 2022 somewhat like I did 2021, in isolation, thought no better time to do my list. The last couple years I have stopped collecting the newest sets as it was getting out of hand! Finishing off many of the ones I have has become more of a focus. So here are some of the ones that I collected last year.
11) One of the sets I have collected over my years of collectiing has been the SPx Flashback Fabrics set. I acquired 2 of 3 cards that I needed for the 09-10 set this year with the Lafleur card that final piece I am looking for.
10) Same theme different year. I received 4 of the final 5 cards for the 10-11 SPx Flashback set. Bob Bourne which was a redemption card is the final piece. All ended up being with Quincy so thanks for his help in tracking them down.
9)Ok last of my SPx Flashback Fabrics. This particular card allowed me to have 5 remaining but this was a bigger one from the 11-12 set. The final 5 are Jokinen, Drury, Modano, Thornton and Francis.
8)These two are from the 18-19 SP Authentic Sign of the Times set which I am missing 4 of the 167 SOTT cards. A Marchessault Inscribed card, Gretzky/McDavid(going for crazy money) Hof 8 Signature and Rangers 6 signatures. The final 3 I will likely never own.
7)This Signature Patch adds another to the set I am collecting. I now have 23 of the 41 from the 04-05 Ultimate Collection.
6)This card is from the 03-04 Upper Deck Premier Collection and this is my 10th Shield from this set.
5)This card is the final 18-19 SP Authentic Auto Patch that I needed to complete the Patch set of 94. Technically there is a 95th card but it is the Rasmus Dahlen/10, which doesn't have an auto.
4)This is another card from the 18-19 SP Authentic Sign of the Times set that needed it's own spot on the list since it is some of the Greats of my Leafs.
3)Dr.Price announced about the Game Used Vintage Memorabilia/3 cards coming out and it peaked my interest. I saw some of the great names of my Leafs and had to get some.
2)This next bunch of cards I started collecting in January of last year and the final piece arrived December 21st. Just under the deadline for my Best of 2021 cards.
1)What would I have as my #1. It's hard to believe but it is a vaunted Montreal Canadien card. Yup a true blue Maple Leafs fan has his #1 card from a team that has been their biggest rival but knocked us out of the playoffs last year. The reason for that is a chance meeting with Maurice "Rocket" Richard when I was around 5 year old. He came to speak at our school and I got him to sign a piece of paper and thus my collecting passion was born. That was about 50years ago. I contacted Dr.Price last year and he and his team made a special card with my authograph. It is now one of my favorite cards!
Sorry that I had to make it out of 11 but after I got halfway through I realized I had missed a card.
Thanks for looking and hope everyone has a safe and prosperous 2022.
